Anybody that doesn't realize this is purely for athletic reasons is only kidding themselves.

Who would you rather play for, a 4A doormat or the best 3A team in all the land, at least they used to be?

This was one of my favorite threads of all time a couple of years ago and I think it is time to do it again. The idea is to choose in order how the different areas of the state rate in overall football strength. Here are the choices:

Louisville

Lexington

NKY

Central Kentucky

Eastern KY

Western KY

Here is how I rate them:

1. Louisville, the big boys are in the Ville and I think that makes Louisville the top area in the state.

2. NKY, Northern KY has great 1A and 3A football.

3. Central Kentucky, two words, Title Town!

4. Western Kentucky, there are several good teams in the western part of the state.

5. Lexington, Catholic can't close the deal and the 4A teams in Lexington overall leave a lot to be desired.

6. Eastern Kentucky, although a few teams have showed some promise as of late, this area is still the weakest area for football in Kentucky by far.

How do you rate the state?

If this is true, Highlands will make a big jump up in the 3A picture. Nevels is a very good player.

Does anyone know if Nevels sought Highlands out or Mueller went after Nevels? Things have been a little down in Fort Thomas the last couple of years and a couple of players like Nevels would put them right back in the hunt.
