[Red and Black]

What does Williamsburg return this year?? I thought they lost alot due to graduation this year?

[liveMAROON]

Williamsburg does lose a few 2of which come to mind are Quarterback, Andy Greer and RB Will Hill not to mention a line of Receivers that will definitely bring this team down next year...heres my top 10
1:Beechwood
2:Danville
3:Pikeville
4:NCC
5:Painstville
6:Lynn Camp
7: Harlan
8:Williamsburg(sorry Jackets
9:Somerset
10:Hazard
due to the lack of competiton theres not alot i culd coushin my views on

[panthereuphoria]

1. Beechwood
2. Danville
3. NCC
4. Harlan
5. Pikeville
6. Somerset
7. Lynn Camp
8. Paintsville
9. Williamsburg
10.Hazard

Although I am a panther fan i dont believe that they have proved themselves good enough to be ranked that high liveMAROON

[liveMAROON]

whoa whoa were on the same side. and since we are you should know that with what pikeville has returning they are one of THE teams to beat in 1A know ur facts buddy

[panthereuphoria]

I do know my facts and i do know, and hope, this is true but you really cant judge a team that has lost so many key players just quite yet

[T-Blankenship78]

Is Hazard supose to be any good this year??? if they are it'll be a change from last year.

[liveMAROON]

the fact of the matter is that its true they lose a star cast but they players returning to the players leaving ratio is leaning towards victory with ppl like Chase Huffman, Weston Robinson, Tylir Karter, and Casey Rowe......not to mention many teams in 1A are on a downward spiral. How can you be a fan yet have no faith in the Maroon & White

[Red and Black]

Is Hazard supose to be any good this year??? if they are it'll be a change from last year.

They play Prestonsburg in their first game of the year. So we will see then.

[panthermania]

I believe that Pikeville will make it very far this year.....I would rank them at number three....although any higher than that...well....we'll just have to wait till' the season starts to find out.

[PHSFAN]

1.Beechwood
2.Danville
3.NCC
4.Pikeville
5.Mayfield
6.Lynn Camp
7.Paintsville
8.Campbellsville
9.Somerset
10.Murray


The top 5 are heads and shoulders above the bottom 5.

[panthereuphoria]

They also have Ryan Maynard, Will Lockhart, John Mayo, and Brad Bryant who I think went in on special teams sometimes
I do have faith in the maroon and white im just thinking its a little to early to be ranking them that high
There is still a lot of talent in class a

[Hip-hop Box]

1. Beechwood
2. Danville
3. NCC
4.Pikeville
5.Mayfield
6.Lynn Camp
7.Paintsville
8.Campbellsville
9.Somerset
10.Frankfort

[Redneck]

1. Beechwood - Defending Champs, #1 til proven otherwise.
2. Danville - Although they lose Turner, they return alot of experience, they were pretty young last year.
3. NCC - From what I hear from buddies up North, NCC will be the team to beat next year.
4. Lynn Camp - Return like 18 starters from last year.
5. Pikeville - Lost some key players, but always find replacements, return a couple studs from last years Region Champ team.
6. Paintsville - Return 21 of 22 starters from last year, had a decent year last year, return 1,200 yard rusher, 980 yard rusher, and a 600 yard rusher plus their WHOLE offensive line.
7. Somerset - Return alot of players from last year, had a decent season.
8. Mayfield
9. Campbellsville
10. Frankfort[/url]

IMO they can go as high as they want because like it or not they will have a good team and they will make it as far if not farther than last year all they have to do is have someone step up at various positions...like center...they have nobody good enough for the starter slot yet but they will make sumthing work and will be back in the state semis for a rematch with the Beechies

Only time will tell, Only Time will tell.

This looks about right to me.

[liveMAROON]

look for pikeville to really make some noise in the top 5 because it dont get no better than that

[crazytaxidriver]

Pikeville is a top 5 team, I don't think you can rank them ahead of Danville, Beechwood and NewCath just yet. So I'd say they are a top four team.

[liveMAROON]

totally agree for right now but we are going to have to wait until playoffs

[PHSFAN]

A team that has not been mentioned yet that I think could make some noise is Harrodsburg. They return some talent in the skill postions and they always have a lot of speed.

[liveMAROON]

very interesting output PHSFAN.........but not alot is known about them because they've been silent for the past few years

[Hip-hop Box]

Yea they started off good last season I dont no what happend to em.

[liveMAROON]

i agree it sort of like they just drifted off of the Single A radar

[theguru]

All of you guys are short changing Louisville Holy Cross and most are underrating Mayfield. These two teams, along with Beechwood, NCC and Danville make up the top 5.

Pikeville is no higher than 6 starting the season.

NCC was as good if not better than Beechwood talent wise last season and we all saw what Beechwood did to the Panthers. Come August, Pikeville better be much improved or they will get trounced again.

Surprised to not see Hancock County, Murray or Fairview on anybody's ballots.

[liveMAROON]

Good call Guru......but i think pikeville desereves that 4 spot because with all due respect they did make it to the state semis last year......so i say they are a 4 at the start but then once the season starts we will see form there......keep in mind they have more talent returning then they do leaving

[theguru]

Making the semifinals does not make you one of the 4 best teams in your class, only the best team in your region. Under that logic, you'd have to rank Mayfield, Danville, Beechwood and Pikeville as your top 4 teams starting the season. (and you didn't even have Mayfield in your top 10)

Those were the 4 semifinal teams in the 2004 Class A playoff bracket. (http://scoreboard.12dt.com/scoreboard/bluegrasspreps/kyfb4?id=tournament_54001//url)

[liveMAROON]

i agree....but at the time Mayfield slipped my mind althoug they are not on my list i will revise it or just make a note of it that they will be a strong team

[T-Blankenship78]

If pikeville wins in the pike county bowl i am expecting them to be ranked at LEAST #3

[T-Blankenship78]

Pikeville has just a good of chance in the game as NCC has. Pikeville has the speed, power, and dedication to win that game...

[liveMAROON]

I have to say their chances are mighty even here although NCC will be favored pikeville plays like they did against Prestonsburg then they will give Newport a run for their money

[PHSFAN]

You bring up some very good points Guru. Lou. Hoy Cross totally escaped my mind for some reason, they are no doubt a top ten team if not a top 5 team. Hancock County and Fairview usually have nice teams also. I realize that most of the Pikeville fans on here are young, but the program is no where close to where it use to be. Pikeville has a lot of work to do if they expect to be able to compete with Danville, NCC, and Beechwood. I am a Pikeville High Grad but I am alos a realist. If John Chapman was still the coach at Pikeville the program would be at a lot higher level right now IMO. Hopefully they will live in the weightroom until next season because the single A powers will just toy with Pikeville again next year if they don't. As of right now I think Pikeville will once again make it to the state semi's next year at best. I hope I am wrong but I have seen nothing from the Pikeville High football prgram in the last 5 years to make me think otherwise. Either they don't have the talent or heart that they used to or the coaching is not up to par as it used to be. Personally I think it is a combo of both.

[liveMAROON]

I can agree with that......they all just seemed to be in the back of my mind when thinking of a top 10......and it's completely true that pikeville football has lost its tradition but if any of the players read this........then you gotta help pikeville get back on track its up to all of you to take pikeville back to the CARPet

[Hip-hop Box]

What does Lou. Holy cross have back this season.

[live baller]

I think South Floyd will be there ...Because i was told they had 2 new fats people coming out Marc Bennett & Ethan Johnson ive watched them play in middle school and they were the best running backs in the county ...

SF loses a lot but you never know maybe they will make some noise. I hope the Raiders have another great season.

[liveMAROON]

Nice list, but I would have Paintsville a little higher, they only lost one senior and this could be there year to hit the big time

[sportwhiz]

1)NCC
2)Danville
3)Beechwood
4)Lou Holy Cross
5)Mayfield


Sorry Pikeville, NCC will wear out any Eastern Kentucky team. Too bad it will be the Panthers in the Pike Co Bowl.

Sadly I agree with you whiz. The Pikeville program has done nothing in the last few years to make me believe otherwise. Pikeville is the class of the mountains again in Class A though. They do have a lot of talent coming up and they will compete for a state title in 2006 and 2007, but they won't hang with NCC next year.

[panthermania]

If Pikeville beats NCC in the Pike Co Bowl, they deserve to be ranked #3, at least. But that is a mighty big IF.


Guru...get off BGR and go post on your own baby....By the way...did you like that advertisement that appeared on BGP a few days ago?

Just so you know that the guru on BGR is not the same guru on BGP. Anyways what he said is true. Pikeville doesn't deserve to be #3 because NCC, Beechwood, and Danville are on another level than the Panthers right now.

1. Beechwood - Defending Champs, #1 til proven otherwise.

8. Mayfield
9. Campbellsville
10. Frankfort[/url]

This is the best list I have seen.

[liveMAROON]

PHS FAN....wheres the support?....some fan you are

[panthermania]

LOL...he may be true, however...I think pikeville may change his attitude after the pikecounty bowl...that is, depending on how hard the panthers work this summer....

[Hip-hop Box]

What does Lou. Holy cross have back this season.

no body knows anything about Holy cross :?:

[PHSFAN]

PHS FAN....wheres the support?....some fan you are

I support all Pikeville High School athletics....always have and always will....it is where I graduated high school from. I think the Panthers are a top 5 team and the best team in Region 4 again, but I am skeptical if they can compete with Beechwood, NCC, and Danville. I have seen nothing the last few years to make me think otherwise. I hope that I am wrong and they get to Louisville and win the state championship.

[panthermania]

They sure do have one heck of a shot this year...

[liveMAROON]

You know it mania.......You know it

[Sasquatch72]

the panthers have a great shot this year and are returning alot of talent, I believe the only thing that they will need to go the distance this year is a few people to step up as leaders on the team.

[panthermania]

Amen

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

somebody mentioned earlier that in 2006/07 that Pikeville should compete for a state title. What kids do they have that will be better then the kids they have now? Just wondering because I have no clue, dont know anything about pikeville football.

[panthermania]

No....IMO...If pikeville doesn't compete for the state title this year they won't compete for the next two or three years....Next year is looking better than 06/07...in 06/07 I can't even predict a QB...Mayo will be QB next year, but who will step up after him?
