Very bad timing if true. Has a Tennessee coach ever come north of the border and had any success in Kentucky?

Good analysis as always. I think Trigg is too high and UHA too low.

So much for the "dale would never score 70 on someone argument" we saw on here last year.

Edmonson County has played a bakery schedule. I would have expected their schedule to be tougher given they knew what they had coming down the line. They are better than Monroe but Monroe is a tough place to play. I say Edmonson by a touchdown late on a questionable call.

I would think Lone Oak or Paducah Tilghman would have to be on that list.

It just seems this way year after year. Right?

Hopkins Central won 13 games in the two seasons before they were on Crittenden's schedule. They have won seven games in the two seasons they have been on Crittenden's schedule. Union County won 17 games the past two seasons. They graduated a huge senior class and *Poof* they are on the Crittenden schedule this year. Marshall County has won five games in two years. *Poof* They are on the schedule Trigg and Crittenden played just about every year in the 1990s. Higgins went to Trigg and *poof*, they vanished from Trigg's schedule. Trigg goes 4-7 last year and look who's back on the schedule. Trigg County. I will give credit to Crittenden for scheduling Paducah Tilghman and Madisonville and avoiding the temptation of scheduling the Fultons. Why didn't they continue their series with Mayfield. That had turned into a good little rivalry and Crittenden even won a couple of times. Could they not fit them in or are they just waiting for Mayfield to graduate a huge senior class?

Seeing as how Crittenden likes to schedule teams during their down cycles, I'm thinking Crittenden should win this one.

1. Bowling Green 2. Henderson Co. 3. Warren Central 4. Franklin-Simpson 5. Lone Oak 6. Allen County-Scottsville 7. Madisonville 8. Greenwood 9. Marshall County 10. Owensboro

1. Tilghman 2. Mayfield 3. Owensboro Catholic 4. Ft. Campbell 5. Edmonson Co. 6. Trigg Co. 7. Caldwell Co. 8. Crittenden Co. 9. Russellville 10. Murray

I'm shocked they didn't tag someone interim for a year and then open it up statewide. The number of "retired" coaches who frequent the lakes area would have made it an interesting candidate pool.

I've heard of teams trading a blank tape. One school filmed games at such a wide angle, the tops of the lights across the field were visible. I know of one western Kentucky school that edited out all special teams plays, including kickoffs, punts, and extra points. A few years back, one school got busted for editing the plays and showing the quarters out of sequence. I'm sure there are other stories out there. Just because a team trades film, it doesn't mean you're getting something that helps. :lol:

I think Murray wins. Their defense is better than people give them credit for

I was surprised that Russellville beat Union County by as big a margin as they did. I think this one will be close, with the Tornado winning by 8

How is this a Mayfield thread? They are talking about Beechwood. And I agree about Hazard. Maybe the most overlooked team in the state.

It's funny how Fairview wasn't great and hadn't played anyone until Raceland beat them. Now they are an excellent team that should contend. I mean, come on.

For beating a mediocre Raceland team? I dont think so. I dont think they come within 20 points of Mayfield, Holy Cross, Hazard, or Beechwood. Good win for them though

Beating a winless team by a point justifies a top five ranking? Washington County has beaten a top 10 team in a class above them.

That happens in every sport. No one dare touch the Sweet 16 and their draw which usually puts the best teams in one side of the bracket. Very few people complain. The best volleyball is played in Louisville and northern Kentucky. I guess we should redraw those regions and spread them equally over 16 regions so that the best teams can meet in the finals. The baseball state championship is usually played in the loaded Lexington district every year. Very few say those teams should be spread out to ensure the best teams meet in the finals. Heck, it cost the Lexington Catholic coach his job.

We will take on all comers. You only get better by playing the best. It doesnt matter when we play them in the playoffs. Good teams know how to advance If the other teams can't compete, they need to work harder. There can only be one state champ. Wait?!? They're going to be in our district?? That's not right!!!!!

I'm glad to see Jack Haskins' name on there. For some reason, he isn't included on the KHSAA list. If he is named the coach of the new consolidated school, that number should continue to increase

Sounds like sour grapes to me.

That looks about right.
