Still no love for Ryle. Lost to Highland and Simon Kenton. No Love

Thought the GRC Cards might break the top 10 this week. They are on a 5 game winning streak, with a very tuff schedule. They have 3 losses, two of which are in the top 10 in Scott Co and Bryan Station. Wins over ranked Henry Clay and Corbin.

I agree with both of you that both Ryle and George Rogers Clark are deserving of consideration for the Top 10. I'm sure that Conner, Fern Creek, Greenwood, Henderson County, and maybe even Lafayette, feel the same way. However, after reviewing the teams that they currently have ranked, I couldn't figure out who they should drop out so that they could go in. That seems like an awfully strong group that is in there now.

I agree with you. It is a very strong group. Very proud of the Card this year, they have beat teams that not many thought they would.

Freeman rankings have Ryle at number 4. I don't think thay should be that high. But when your only losses are to number 1 Highlands and a team that may be number 3 in the state, Simon Kenton. IMO Ryle will lose 4 games this year. Two times to Highlands, Simon Kenton and X. So if I'm right they would end the season with their only losses to the top 3 teams in the state. IMO they should be in the top 10

Subjective 6A polls missing Ryle in Top 10:

 

BGP: Not in Top 10

AP: 11th (Conner 10th)

 

Computer

 

Litkenhous: 6th

MaxPreps: 4th

Massey: 4th

 

The only thing I can figure is that strength of schedule not given adequate weighting by subjective poll vote casters.

Isn't their S.O.S. higher than most teams? :idunno: And that number will get much higher after Friday.

How does Ryle's SOS compare to Manual's? Manual is getting a lot of credit for playing a tough schedule.

1. Saint Xavier vs. 5A #8 Covington Catholic 34.2

2. Trinity at 4A #3 Lexington Catholic 38.9

3. Simon Kenton at 5A Scott 21.7

4. Henry Clay vs. Paul Laurence Dunbar 23.2

5. Ballard vs. 4A #6 Western 25.6

6. Male at #9 Manual 22.2

7. Scott County vs. Fern Creek 21

8. Bryan Station at North Hardin 23

9. Manual vs. #6 Male ??

10. Shelby County at 5A #6 Oldham County

18.9

 

Ryle 28.1 With Ryle playing Highland Friday. And if they both win they would play X in the second round their SOS will jump way up. May be some bias in the pole????:confused:

Quick question off-topic: why are Ryle and Highlands playing twice? Not something you see often with neither one being a playoff game.

Both teams were having trouble getting teams to play them. Ryles coach feels to be the best you have to play the best. And the gates for these games are GREAT. :popcorn:

I'm not surprised that people turn out to see it. Two great NKY programs going at it in that one. It's just a very uncommon thing to see.

I would have loved to have seen Highlands and Simon Kenton play.
