Eastern is not a top 20 team!

I think you will see Perry County Central in the Top 10 before the season is over.

Eastern is not a top 20 team!

I think you overlooked them. They are #11

If Montgomery is in at #16, then Pendleton Co should be in there as well. They are dead even, but PC is still getting no respect.

I think faxisfax is saying that Eastern doesn't belong in the Top 20.

If Montgomery is in at #16, then Pendleton Co should be in there as well. They are dead even, but PC is still getting no respect.

 

If that is the case SK should be a top 5 team they crushed PC yesterday.

Neither team belongs in Top 25. Top teams in 10th are not top 25 material at this point.

Right on Rainman11. Let's see if these teams can be some of the more elite teams on the court!!

So up 3 spots, that could happen after week 1.

Honestly they could be a top 5 team with the transfer and the 8th grade stud they have playing.

Faxisfax have you seen Eastern play either of their scrimmages?

How did Eastern do in their scrimmages???

Who did Eastern scrimmage?

Henry Clay and Montgomery Co. will go down real soon.....both overrated!!
