With Scott Co losing to Ballard and Holmes losing to Bowman Academy (IN) in the opening week end, how does that shake up the rankings?

 

I'd go with the following top 5 now:

 

1. Eastern

2. Holmes

3. Clark Co

4. Ballard

5. Scott Co

 

Shelby Valley not in the top 5!

Prep School???

 

Any big name players on Bowman Acad.?

 

No not a prep school, it is a public school in Gary, Indiana. Bowman Academy beat South Laurel 24 the night before they played Holmes.

 

Bowman Academy is a public charter school.

 

As far as their players, they have several D1 prospects:

 

6'5 Dejuan Marrero is rated the best sophomore in Indiana and already has offers from Indiana, Ohio St, Purdue, and Illinois.

 

Other D1 prospects include;

 

6'1 pg Tyrae Robinson

6'4 g Chris Bond

Shelby Valley not in the top 5!

 

Shelby Valley is a top 10 team but not top 5 IMO.

 

They wouldn't beat anyone in my top 5. (Eastern, Holmes, Ballard, Clark Co, Scott Co)

Gabbard gets a lot of props in the N Ky area but I feel is underrated on a statewide basis. Popp gives Boone another ballhandling/defensive option other teams just don't have from the 2 spot.

 

Difference in yesterdays game vs West Jessamine was the guard play of Boone.

 

I agree. When it comes to pure pg's, Gabbard is as good as they come. I'd take him on my team any day of the week and put him against any pg in the state.

Shelby Valley is a top 10 team but not top 5 IMO.

I would have to agree with this. Shelby Valley's problem this year will be their schedule. They don't play any of the top ten teams so it will be hard to guage how good they really are beating up on weaker teams.

They play Christian Co at home, but that's about it.
