Boone gets a nice little plaque from Ryan Ernst and The Enquirer, stating that they're the Enquirer NKY Boys Poll Champs....so pretty much...nothing.

 

I guess you figured I knew that. Just trying to figure out why anyone would get in much of a debate about it?? I would say congrats to Boone and good luck in the regional would suffice.

It is still a nice honor and recognition.

Give me a break... We all know that Holmes is the real favorite. Personally though, I'm glad Holmes is 2nd in the poll. If they can convince themselves that they are underdogs, maybe they will play with the fire and intensity they brought to the state tournament the last two seasons. Hopefully that starts tonight.

These types of things don't really matter IMO. Holmes has been the best team in the state all season and has the resume to back it up. But none of these polls matter, what matters is who cuts the nets down Saturday March 21st.

Just don't see that. Ryle played a much tougher schedule than Beechwood. Nothing personal, but BHS' schedule was packed with the likes of Calvary (2x), Heritage (2x), Ludlow (2x), Dayton (2x), Bellevue (2x), Silver Grove (2x), and Villa (2x). But we're each entitled to our own opinions.

 

Don't forget Beechwood beating Highlands, the #3 team, head-to-head

I agree Holmes is probably still the favorite, but the games still have to be played to decide. This current recognition for Boone (mediocre or not) is based on the present standings. That may be the problem for Holmes (people already have them playing the state championship, and they just now finished the regular season). A familiar line by Coach Boone in Remenber The Titans "Let the boys play....let em play!":lol:

Should be a good tourney.

I don't think anyone has Holmes in the state championship. Matter of fact, I've said several times, IF they get out of region, I'd be surprised if they got past Scott Co in the second round at the sweet 16.

Don't forget CovCath 2x as well.

 

Are you insinuating that CovCath is the same level of competition as the D3 schools mentioned?

Holmes #2 in the Region, 31st in the Nation. But what do I know?

We have already established in a different thread that Beechwood is forced to play those school twice a year because they are in the DIII conference.:ohbrother:

So what exactly does this poll mean?

 

Absolutely nothing.

Absolutely nothing.
