westsider Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 South Laurel....won the state title last year; have most of that team back. Morgan County....have an 8-0 record. Mason County....played the #1 team, SL, to the wire, actually led most of the way. Be nitpicky if you want ... aren't Pendleton and South Laurel basically right on I-75? And it's safe to say that no one questions that those two teams are clearly worthy of a ranking. As for Morgan County ... seven of their eight wins have come against teams with losing records, and only one against a team from outside the 16th Region (and that one from the weak 15th). If Morgan wants a ranking, they need to play a more difficult schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westsider Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Graves County should be higher than University Heights: 1.) They beat UHA in head to head competition 2.) Their two losses, both ranked in their respective states, are a combined 21-1. 3.) They absolutely destroyed North Broward, Danny Haney's current team. Graves beat UHA, granted, but it was a two-point game decided on last-second free throws and the game was at Graves ...it isn't as if the Eagles won convincingly. Would Graves beat UHA on a neutral court? As for Graves-North Broward ... sure, it's an impressive win, but is North Broward that good? And you also have to count the loss to Lexington (Tenn.) almost in their back yard. A lot of people in west Tennessee will tell you Lexington isn't as good as their record or their ranking ... some rate them as the #3 team in their district and they play a suspect schedule. Lexington was 26-4 last season, including a 14-point loss to DeSales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thRegionFan Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 By the way South Laurel is about 3 1/2 miles East of I-75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGZIG Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Is there a team from east of I-75 worthy of a top-20 ranking? If so, make your case. I was going by this statement regarding Pendleton Cty. You ask if a team east of I-75 was worthy of the Top 20. Pendleton is east of I-75 and definitely worthy. Maybe you were unsure of where Pendleton Cty was in relationship to I-75. Not being nitpicky as you suggest. Just helping you out with a little Kentucky geography.
