If they win this game and all their district games, yes. A win vs SK looks great but it doesn’t matter if they can’t get over the hump and beat Ashland. Ashland is the win they have to get to be considered a 3A title contender.
I agree that Russell and Paintsville are the biggest test for both of those schools. However, if both WC and BC go undefeated in district play WC should jump them in my opinion. District 8 is just tougher than District 7.
