I can understand folks problem with some of the other teams receiving votes, but honestly the top 10 is pretty dead on.

 

I agree, the top 10 looks pretty good, although I'd flip Corbin and LexCath (after all, Corbin did beat LexCath on the court) and Christian County - as good as they are - is a bit of a stretch in the top 10. This is a team that got hammered in the LIT by PRP, who isn't even considered worthy of a single vote. I'd be more inclined to put Scott, GRC, Seneca, or perhaps Shelby Valley as 10th.

GRC just lost to Conner...considered the 9th best team in NKY.

 

Scott just lost to Dixie...not even in the top 10 in NKY.

 

Seneca and Shelby Valley are legit choices for the 10th and final slot.

I agree with the top 4. After that you can argue a lot of different situations. Like...should Corbin be switched with Lexington Catholic? However a good poll overall IMO.

If Christian County is a top-10 team, I'm Rick Reilly.

Welcome to the board Rick!

Shelby Valley is a Top 10 team IMO. They will have the chance to back me up at the All A next week in Richmond. I think you guys will enjoy the way they play. Fast tempo, good defense and very unselfish.

Franklin County deserves mention of legitimacy as well. They have been beaten by two highly regarded teams in NY. The first was to Jamesville-Dewitt by 6. JD is 13-0 and were listed as #9 in the East by USA Today. The other was to a Wings Academy out of the Bronx by one point (a game FC should have won). I've seen a poll where Wings Academy was #7 in NY.

 

There only in state loss is to the #1 team in the state Holmes by 22. Note that this was without two of their top six. We will never know what could have been had FC been full strength, but I will say that Deron Hicks in my opinion could have matched any of the Holmes players in quickness, and he is as good a lockdown defender as there is in the state when he digs in defensively.

 

The knock on FC is that some of their wins have been ugly which I think hurts them in the computer rankings (Cantrell). If they ever get closer to playing mistake free ball they will be tough.

According to ETA, Hicks was the one player missing from Franklin when they played Holmes. He stated that Watkins was there.

 

I haven't seen Hicks play, heard some good things about him, but doubt he would made enough difference to change the outcome against Holmes.

Watkins was out and I did not make the statement that they would have beaten Holmes. I only said we will never know what difference it would have made. Hicks definately would have made an impact in that game in my opinion as well as Watkins. And lastly I do think that Holmes is the best team in the state.

Might want to check my post. I stated Hicks was the only STARTER they were missing and that Watkins came off the bench. Meaning Watkins wasn't there either but he was a bench player...not starter.

Ah found it...

 

Missing two key starters hurt Franklin Co. bad. I wish they would have all been there, would have made for a better game.

 

Actually Hicks was the only starter they were missing. Watkins comes off the bench.

 

They would have been nice to have tonight but honestly wouldn't have made that big of a difference and Holmes probably would have still won by atleast 15+ Holmes shot the ball VERY WELL from outside tonight.

I stand corrected.

 

Thanks
