Scott County would wallop ETown. Afterall, ETown got walloped by Fern Creek and Fern Creek is average.

 

Etown lost to Scott County in the Toyota Dog and Pony show by 3 points. Not a walloping by any means. Fern Creek game is the only game this season for the Panthers in which they just didn't show up

Without Pendleton Co. and South Laurel, I have a hard time taking your list seriously. Lafayette isn't even a top 20 team right now, let alone top 10. And Ballard has a ways to go, but they're getting better.

Don't ever discount a championship. South Laurel won it. That means they were the BEST team.

 

If you want to talk about your favorite team, the team you liked watch the most, or the team that should have won it, start a thread to that effect.

 

South Laurel was the BEST team in 2005! Championships that are cheapened are sour grapes.

Whatever, guys.

 

I doubt very seriously that the Pittsburgh Steelers were the NFL's best team this year ... but you know what? They won the Super Bowl and more power to them.

 

Still, it doesn't mean they were the absolute best team in the league. But they have the ring that the others wanted.

 

No one is "cheapening" South Laurel's state title by arguing that there were several teams that had a legitimate chance to win the Sweet 16 last season, and that they were all about even with each other.

Whatever, guys.

You are right, they were all about even with each other. I totally agree. But SL was just a little bit better then all the rest when it mattered most..... and that makes them the BEST! Why cant you just admit that?

 

Your NFL analogy is terrible considering the talent level and margin for error between the Super Bowl champion and the worst team in the NFL (by worst I mean with the worst record) is miniscal. Sure the best team in the NFL may not win the Super Bowl, but that is because every team is talented, well coached, and can beat any other team on any given day. Very rarely is a team favored over another team by 21 or more points. Thats because blowouts dont happen often, and there are "upsets" if you will have it, all the time. However, when you are talking KY HS boys basketball, the same cannot be said. Of course its possible, but the BEST team usually prevails, and when you are talking about the state tourney, where its the best of the best, I'd say that whoever wins the title (barring an unprecedented upset at some point and time) is without a doubt the best team.

 

But besides that (and this is totally for a different thread, but just trying to prove a point)..... I'd still say that the Steelers were the best team in the NFL. Who would you say was the absolute best team in the NFL this year. The Colts? We saw what the Steelers did to them. Vouch it was a battle, but in a tight game like that, I'd say the better team won out. If the Colts were the better TEAM, then they would have hit that fieldgoal. The Seahawks? Well you might have an argument here considering they got absolutely jobbed on some big calls, however I still doubt that any of that changes the outcome of the game. The Patriots? Denver beats them solidly then Denver gets waxed by the Seahawks! The Bengals? Sure what if Carson Palmer hadnt gotten hurt, blah blah blah. But he did. If the Bengals were the best TEAM then someone would have stepped up in his place and delivered a win. Sure its easy to remember Peyton Manning and the Colts offense, or Chad Johnson running his mouth, or the Pats 3 in 4 years, etc etc etc. But the fact remains that the Steelers WON every game when it counted and that = the best!

 

Its like you have this "mystical" best team in your head, as if you are comparing all the teams from last seasons sweet 16 on paper and if all the teams play to their full potential and bring their A+ game in the sweet 16 then SL doesnt win it all, and whichever team you think would, is the best team. It's like you are doing the same thing with the NFL analogy.

 

But that isnt how it works. Games arent played on paper, they are played on a court. You have to prove it on the court. That is the beautiful thing about sports. Sure, certain teams get a bad draw....... and have to play night games and morning games, and 2 games in 1 day. Injuries happen, backups have to play. Sure refs lean a certain way, and the ball doesnt bounce the way you want it to sometimes. But that is sports..... you fight through it...... and whatever TEAM comes out on top can claim, we are the BEST!

 

Sure SL may not have been the best team on paper, but they were the best team on the court, and that is what counts.

Here's mine.....

 

At least one private would be nice!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

How do you put Pendleton County 4th when they were defeated by 18 by South Laurel and not put Scott County in the top 5?

 

you obviously haven't watched Pendleton County play have you? Pendleton county is a solid top 5 team IMO

STEELERS THE BEST :ylsuper: :dancingpa :banana: :ylsuper: :laugh: :thumb: :dancingpa :flame: :bunny:

I like this list, South didn't win state last year by being ranked in the top ten. I wish they wouldn't even rank them in the top 25.

you obviously haven't watched Pendleton County play have you? Pendleton county is a solid top 5 team IMO

 

 

Pendleton is over rated, ask south's student section they were all chanting that too. Pendleton is maby a 9 or a 10 but they could move up if they make it to the sweet 16.

 

 

Don't get me wrong they could very well make it to the big dance come march but they have two very good teams nipping at their heals.

I guess we will see what happens. If I remember right PC waxed SL pretty good last year in December and we all saw what happened in March. Championships are won in March right?

 

PC I know remembers this and would welcome another opportunity on a neutral court with neutral officials.
