No way East is above Elliott! And Rowan it 0-3 so they are not that high, West should be above them.

 

I'll concede that west carter should be above Rowan but I feel comfortable with east higher than Elliott.

Morgan and Boyd are clearly at the top of the 16th region.There can be no doubt about this.Menifee,Bath,Lewis and Rose Hill are for the most part the bottom four teams.The other 10 are clearly interchangeable with any team capable of winning a given game.With Clark back look for Russell to play strong and easily pass their 40 points per game average.

1. Morgan-Defense and physical play

2. Boyd-Owens evokes Frank Lee memories

3. Russell-Still will be a HUGE factor

4. Fairview-Rexy has the Westwood folks optimistic

5. Ashland-Need some wins fast

6. Greenup-Comp has not been much but better than most thought

7. West-Jones can flat play

8. East-Small but dangerous

9. Elliott-The 16th Dow Jones squad up and down

10.Raceland- Nice win over Rowan

11.Rowan-Will get better as season progresses

12.Fleming-Nice home win over Raceland

13.Lewis-Run and gun Lions rely on the three

14. Menifee-Has some nice athletes

15. Rose Hill-Will pull some upsets and look for them to climb the poll

16. Bath-Has pulled one upset but still looking up at the region

 

This will change week to week. Cubster was pulled out of retirement by various requests. Look for game picks this Friday.

 

I don't really have a problem with this poll at this time. But it assumes that Russell is better than Fairview and of course the remaining 12 teams, which may not actually be the case right now. It should be in the next few weeks, but I don't know about right now. I would suggest putting Fairview 3rd for now and Russell 5th or 6th until they get back to full strength. Except for #1 and #2 and #16, I expect this poll to change drastically over the next few weeks!!

The Russell-Fairview question will be settled tonight.

Look for Red Devils to climb out of #9 hole very fast.

Elliott #6 with a loss to Bath County?

TBF's poll always seems to slant towards the Class A schools. :confused:

 

 

Elliott play Bath again tonight - we'll see if the results are the same or if the first time was a freak occurrence!

Well here I go....

1. Boyd

2. Morgan

3. Ashland

4. Fairview

5. Greenup

Is this Ashland's worst team in a long time or what? I haven't seen them but am shocked to see an Ashland basketball team getting beaten that bad over and over. What's going on there?

I believe the schedule that they have played is very very tough. Ashland is a good team that will onky get better as the year goes along. I think that Ashland may lose 8 or 12 games but they will learnfrom all of those and will be there in March.

With the addition of Sizemore and the possibility of Blair returning soon, the Devils should be "movin on up". :fire:

Has Sizemore finally decided to play???? Do wish Austin Blair a speedy recovery.

Yes,and thank you.

Do not overlook the Wizard of Westwood this year. They are for real and I will go out on a limb early and pick them to win their district. Someone may need room for more than one tattoo if they meet in the tourney.

When did Sizemore decide to play?

He practiced today.
