The top 3 are solid selections. Boyle will have a tough time with LC this week based on what I've seen of them so far this year.

We will learn exactly where we stand in the 4A chase this Friday.

Disagree.

 

Johnson Central gets beaten by Perry Central pretty handily and Rockcastle County shuts out that same Perry Central team. Without a doubt in my mind Rockcastle should be and deserves to be ranked higher than Johnson Central.

 

Poor Russell County probably deserves to be ranked but will have to beat Rockcastle County this Friday to earn a spot in the poll.

Russell County is a bear in sheeps clothing. Rockcastle will have their hands full with yet another undefeated, unfamiliar foe this Friday. Russell Co. gave Allen County Scottsville all they wanted last fall during the playoffs and I knew they were going to be a tough group to deal with. The Britt kid has more moves than Ex-Lax and they have a few capable receivers to make a rush-stopping defense honest.

Madisonville might be a little underated.. They are very fast and play aggresive. I think their the best 4a team in WKY.

I'l be keeping an eye on this score.

 

When the playoffs come will the Russell/Rockcastle district matchup against the Boyle/LexCath district?

Yeah, guess theguru must have come to Lake Cumberland and not been treated to his fancy. Must have a terrible dislike for Russell County or its coaches. If Russell beats or has a good showing against Rockcastle, then do us a favor and don't jump on our band wagon at that time......we're not good enuff to impress you now, and dont want your respect at that time.

We're six weeks in and none of Russell County's defeated opponents have a winning record. I'd assume that has something to do with it. I think it's hilarious that you think those are the only accolades you'd need. Fact of the matter is that Russell County wasn't highly regarded preseason, fair or unfair, and the schedule hasn't presented a true opportunity for proof yet. That's not even Russell County's fault given that Pulaski County was anticipated to be much better than they are. Rockcastle is the first truly bonafide opportunity for a first class win.

 

Why is it some think that an undefeated team is simply owed a rank? Is this the AP poll or something?

[laker55]

Yep your right, other teams in your poll have played teams with combined records of 11-22, 14-19. 16-19 and some have those GOOD QUALITY LOSSES. Some have 2 quality losses and of these losses some are blow-outs. Russell County with opponents 13-20 and no good quality losses dont fit with these fine records.......you are exactly right. Wish you had to make your decision just by looking at the records with the wins and losses without the schools name........might be a different story then......yep that would be a nice bet to take

It's just a poll. They'll have their chance to prove themselves. Look at it this way, if they really are good then they will slip under the radar come playoff time and sneak up on people. Just a thought..

If you would just like to look at the teams with only wins and losses, I believe I have just the site for you.

Right there beginning at the middle of the page you have something called the standings. I believe that fits the description of what you're looking for. Hey look, you guys are #1!

[DragonFire]

For the record, I happen to believe Russell County belongs in the top 10. Unfortunately, that's not my call to make. But if you would like to argue they belong, saying that you wish they would drop the names and just go by the records is a poor argument to make. Give me a chance to make a schedule, and I can almost assure you I can give you an undefeated record. Others choose to test themselves with good games and you would have me believe they don't belong above another team based solely on Won/Loss? I suppose you think Russell County is better than Boyle County and CovCath despite who those teams have beaten and who they lost to.
