Where would you put Boone? I would put them somewhere between 15 and 20.

 

I agree. Looking at it, I'd probably have Highlands a bit lower than they are. They don't impress me all that much. They are a decent team, but not 17. I think Boone is probably 17 or 18.

I think you could put Elliott, Scott, and Holmes names in a hat and draw to see which one was 1,2 and 3. I think these three teams are the cream of the crop in the state and its hard to rank them.

Holmes is number one. Elliot Co. number two.

 

Boone is too high. Highlands is where they should be. Muhlenburg-North, I'm surprised to even see on here. I *Think* CovCath beat them pretty convincingly and CovCath is TERRIBLE.

 

Yeah Elliott at #2 because they have beat some quality top 25 teams in the state. No wait. They haven't played anyone in this top 25. :lol:

Holmes has beaten 4 top 25 teams (Scott, Bryan Station, Seneca, and Ballard).

Scott Co. has beaten 4 top 25 teams as well (Ballard, Bryan Station, Mason, and Clark).

I'll be honest, I put Elliot at number 2 because of what I have seen through here. I have seen Scott Co and I don't think they are number 2 in the state.

Really I believe that Holmes, Scott Co, Lou. Ballard, Eastern, J'town, and Bryan Station all have very good teams. Elliott Co. hasn't really played anyone that good to give us an accurate opinion about them IMO.

Glad someone else thinks the same way as me. :thumb:

Oh yeah, they definitely all have very good teams. I'd say Elliot Co. does as well though. I don't know who out of those you pick as your top, but having seen Homes I'd put them at one, because I just don't see anyone being better at this point.

I would put Holmes #1 by a hair. I don't think any team has really seperated themselves by that much. Like I said there is several very good teams that would not surpirse me at all to see win the Sweet 16 this year.

Interesting.

I agree. Not sure how Cantrall or Maxpreps can have Scott Co in front of a team who beat them and has a better record while also beating just as many top 20 teams as them.

 

This is why I don't put much stock in to these computer polls though. Holmes is clearly the best team in the state RIGHT NOW.

 

I'd also have #17 Highlands in front of #14 Boone. Highlands beat Boone by 14 when they played. I'd say they should be flipped.

 

I wouldn't say that Holmes has beat as many top 20 teams as Scott County. Looking at their schedule, besides there region, which they have to play, they dont have many tough games outside of the two Station games, Ballard and Scott Co. They have beaten Ballard by 20, Clark Co. by 20, Mason Co., Anderson Co. by 15, Bryan Station by 27, and Madison Central by 21. On the other hand, they did lose to Holmes, but they played by far the worst game I have seen them play in a long time. Need I remind you that was only that groups 4th game playing together as well.

Legit point, which is why I'd personally have SC ranked as the second best team behind Holmes.

 

I'd say SC playing their worst game of the year against Holmes had alot to do with Holmes defense and them just being better offensively and having a better game plan. Holmes attacked SC's weaknesses and got them in foul trouble whick took SC out of it early.

 

As far as it only being their 4th game playing together, that's not exactly true. They played all summer together and let's not forget that Euton, Jackson, Flannery, and Guyn all played AAU together for many years before this year....

Let me re-phrase that, the 4th game in Hicks system. If you have tape of that game, go back and see how many times the offense started by Euton throwing it in, the guard taking it down the side, then throwing to Euton up top and he would either shoot or swing it if the shot wasn't available. I definatly agree with Holmes being ranked ahead of them based on the head to head match up. I also believe that Holmes athleticism gave Phares and Euton a lot of problems. But if (and hopefully from a fans view) they meet again, see if Scott Co. doesn't try to press more often because it gave Holmes fits at the end of the game.

I have seen so very often when an early season win will give a team a false sense of security for when the teams meet again in post season play. Taking nothing away from Holmes, with Scott County beating up on Bryan Station at Bryan Station by 27, they are most certainly making a statement that they have become a typical, tough-as-nails, Hick's Scott County team. If I were Holmes, I would dismiss their early victory over Scott County and assume nothing less that if their two paths shall meet again that they will be facing a WAY more ferocious Scott County team than they did in their first meeting and that they will be in the GAME OF THEIR LIVES. On any given year, no matter who is rated #1, year after year Scott County consistently keeps proving that they are just as worthy of that top spot as anyone else. They've moved into a region that's much harder to get out of than in the past, which helps explain why they haven't won the Sweet 16 in awhile or always have been in it, but you better believe that as long as Hicks is in charge, he will put a team on the court that has only one rating position in mind and that would be Number 1. I don't think that I've ever seen a Hick's Scott County team worthy of anything less. So year after year, for me, Number 1 is whoever is really good on any given year and ALWAYS Scott County. At least as long as Hicks is there. Instead of splitting hairs, at this stage of the season, I would say that Scott County and Holmes both can claim the Number 1 position. All this coming from a 9th Region supporter who is very happy that Holmes is doing so well this year, but I wouldn't want the local boys to get caught up with ratings and get too full of themselves to not respect what a giant Scott County is. As far a Elliott goes, it's a nice little story (and I always love nice little stories) but it's hard to say considering that they really haven't played anyone. I was very impressed with them at the last 2 Sweet 16's and don't have much doubt that they can play with the best of them, but if I were them, I would've developed a tougher schedule to better prepare them for what they will face down the road and to help silence the critics of their Number 1 rating. Sure, they average a million points a game, but against a schedule of nobodies. Can you really blame anyone for scratching their heads or questioning their worthiness?

Scott Co. won the Sweet 16 just 2 years ago.

I can't say I disagree with this, but three questions come to mind when I think of Scott Co and Hicks. 1)Is it because he does more with less? 2)Is it because he does more with more? 3)Or is it because he always has more?:idunno:
