Mason County vs. Russell is a big one this week. The Royals are awfully good, but I think Russell just may be the team to knock them off...

I really don't think so. If we get tons of rain Russell may be in luck. Mason Co has to much speed for Russell.

Etown was one of the teams last year to make somoe noise. Did they lose a lot of kids?

I know the QB and the big WR are gone.They usaully give Central all they want. This should be a good game in 3A.

I don't think so. Etown is a traditional power, but tradition doesn't score points. The Panthers are very one-dimensional; last I checked they were averaging about 30 yards per game on the ground. That's not a recipe for success against a fast Central team. If Etown can't establish the run, Central will pin their ears back and it could get ugly in a hurry.

I second that, but either way Mason has to much talent.

Royalty wins out. Mason County Royals will have know trouble ruling Russell.

If Russell wins, this class will be put on its ear

AP (I know, I know) has Russell 4th, I think.

Just above Durrett.

And just below Minerva.

Maybe.

 

If Russell wins, I'm thinking Somerset, Belfry, and Sheldon Clark all stay ahead of them, though. I'm guessing the Royals drop more than Russell goes up, if Russell wins. We'll see.

Probably so; that's the nature of polls. Witness the Mississippi Rebels.

Just a personal opinion, but I think the Rebs were a tad over-hyped, as good as they are. Seems like there's always an SEC "glamour" pick that's over-rated every year. A so-called "trendy" pick...
