I am a Beechwood fan and I agree with that. I would place Holmes above New Cath and Beechwood right now based on what the teams have done to date. However, and this gets into the criteria used to put together a top ten, head to head I would take both New Cath and Beechwood in a game against Holmes.

 

I haven't personally seen Beechwood, so can't say, but I think NCC would be in for a real battle against Holmes. Holmes' speed would give NCC fits and I'm not sure NCC's run-only offense would be sufficient. It would be a very interesting matchup.

I'd take Holmes over Beechwood at this point. They've earned it.

 

I'm not sure I agree and I'm one of the bigger Lickert supporters on here.

 

24-8 over Bellevue and a one TD margin over Cooper give me pause.

 

How do we know Holmes fares any better against Dixie/Highlands/CCH than BW did?

Tough for me to say since I've never seen Beech. But I've seen NCC and I rank Holmes over them. And, at the end of the day, they are 4-0 agaisnt a reasonable schedule. Not a "tough" schedule, but a reasonable one. I give them the benefit of the doubt at this point.

I guess I'm in the same sitch as you since I have not seen Holmes.

Holmes is 4-0 against Lloyd, Cooper, Bellevue, Bourbon...and with probable wins against PC and Franklin Co., 6-0. Then they will lose to Dixie by 4+ TD's. I think NCC's and Beechwood's programs have earned a little respect over the years and should be ranked ahead of Holmes. But I guess we can give them the benefit of the doubt but they are fortunate to be playing in 4A this year.
