I just think the colonels will win! 5A in my mind is the second best divison right behind 6A! I could be wrong, but I would take a 5A 7 out of 10 times against a 4A!

Its depends on which 4A team And which 5A team your talking about.

This one is hard to pick. Two great coachs, a county with a new school and a lot of expectations, a school that's just had a few years to get estsblished. I don't know this will be a good one. Can't wait to see the score.

I don't know about JC's pass defence because I have only seen them play Bell, but I know their O-line and D-line is big and strong. So unless BC can match strengh up front on both sides of the ball this will be tough for them.

This IMO is the best match up of two mountain teams in week one.

JC by 7

I don't know much about Hazard and what they got back this year, but IMO the top 5 could be listed in any order.

I will say the Hounds by 7

I have heard that from alot of people Trenches. What is the major difference from this year to last? I thought the Bobcats returned almost everyone?

IMO there are no major diiference, it was two good mountain football teams going head to head and when that happens some of the early seaon problems that need to be corrected show up.

Knox in a good close game.

Knox Co. 28

Clay Co. 21

I'll take Bell in this one, but I can't see Coach Hilton beating anyone by more than 35. That just not his style to beat teams by 50+ and discourage their Kids.

Bell Co. 38

Garrard Co. 14

These two teams will be a great preseason test for each other. Good luck to both team, hope everyone can stay heathly.

I'm a SE KY boy myself but I think Lex cath was the state champs and should be #1 until someone beats them.

Regardless of class Corbin and Middlesboro have strong programs, and when you play the tough games it just makes you better. Corbin never backed down from playing good teams in the 70's, 80's and 90s, playing in the (now defunct) ThoroughBred Bowl, and traveling all over the state, taking the likes of GRC and Bryan Station, or course they were down the years that Corbin played them but my point I think is valid. Corbin could compete with them, and for whatever reason does not play them.

I agree and I hate to see those great game like M'boro and Bell had in the late 90's not be played anymore. Those games were wars.
