I think it will be your usual suspects. Not much change. Other than CovCath will be better. How much, not sure.

Haven't we established these type of theads tend to work better when the starter gives a top 10 list as a kickoff?

 

How about your top 10?

[sportsnut859]

1. Highlands

2. Beechwood

3. CovCath

4. NewCath

5. Simon Kenton

6. Boone County

7. Bellevue

8. Campbell County

9. Newport

10. Walton

 

The last 3 are just kind of thrown in there to get to 10 teams. Campbell is just to big of a school not to be good. Newport has the quickness to be an unvelievable D and I love was coach McMillen is doing in Walton. They were decent last year and will only be stronger this year. I look for them to truly shock some people in Disctrct play in 1A.

I knew I was forgetting some people! My bad!!! Geez lol now I feel like an idiot... Both will be good I just forget a couple through the months sorry to any Raider and Cougar fans offended... I was wondering why I couldn't get closer to 10 teams I knew I was missing key names.

Hey Coop, what do you think about Ryle's offense with the loss of the OC? Will it be a factor (or even make much difference) this season? Curious on your thoughts.

I don't think it'll make a ton of difference either way. They have a lot of talent returning on that side of the ball, so whether they are a pass-first, run-first, or balanced team, I think they will be successful. My guess is that with last year's OC gone and Coach Warner now calling the plays, they will return to a bit more of a run-first mentality, but that's just a guess.

 

It's the defensive side of the team that will be the question mark, with very few returnees and once again appearing to lack some size on DL. There were a couple of defensive players missing at the Spring football scrimmage, and granted it was only Spring, but there was some questionable tackling. Trying to tackle someone around the shoulders usually doesn't work very well . . . .

Our first list. I'll give it a go.

1. Highlands

2. Simon Kenton

3. Conner

4. Ryle

5. Boone

6. Beechwood

7. NewCath

8. Campbell County

9. CovCath

10. Holmes/Holy Cross/Newport

 

This list looks reasonable, but (unfortunatley) I just don't think you can rate Ryle above Boone. Boone seems to have Ryle's number and until Ryle proves something on the field against them, Boone probably deserves to be ranked ahead Ryle.

 

6A is going to be a dogfight this year. SK, Conner, Boone, Ryle, and Campbell are all quality teams and any one of them is capable of beating - or losing - to any other 6A team.

Sorry, I'll say that Dixie will be at 10. Not sure, but didn't they lose a bit from last year?

Doesn't Ryle have a ton of talent returning? I know that you are big supporter of theirs, so I'll take your word for it. I just think that you may be Lou Holtz-ing it a bit.

Actually they were very young last year.
