The game is geared toward the high school athletes and the high school representatives participating in the contest, not geared to appease officials for not knowing the rules.
Just factor the new players that transferred in with that 75% of returning players you are referring to and make a legit judgement and everyone will have something different to say about teams, but I respect your analysis also VOR.
With kids transferring from school to school at a great rate, the previous season doesn’t really hold a bunch of merit, analyze the current rosters and then make decisions based on current play.
Rodgers is definitely not finished and will prove that this upcoming season, everyone wants to write him off and he thrives at showing people they are wrong, can’t wait to see him succeed.
Belfry can win by 3 td’s, no way BHS could beat Belfry by 3 touchdowns, Belfry and Breathitt Co. have a long history of playing each other with many great, close games, with Haywood still on the sidelines, give Belfry the edge here and maybe BHS can keep it close.
Breathitt Co. is definitely not the #5 team in class 2A as the poll had them, issues at QB and also very porous defensively, looking at maybe a .500 season with the schedule they have, teams don’t mind coming to Jackson anymore, thing of the past.
JC is big, strong, and well coached. They also dodge nobody when scheduling because the kids believe they can compete with anyone. Very nice football program.
