Ashland should be #3

Why? They lost to Raceland, so why should they be ranked ABOVE them? For that matter, I don't think Ashland would be Belfry this year either.

Ashland is 1000 times better than when they played Raceland. I can promise you they would beat Belfry this year. Raceland would probably beat Belfry as well.

Hopefully you don't think a team cannot get better as the season goes on? If Raceland and Ashland met again a totally different outcome would happen with Ashland on top. Ashland has really come alive. I believe they will go far into the playoffs. Belfry hasn't had the competetion that they deserve as of yet. Just the same as Sheldon Clark. The end of the regular season will be the real test.

Do you think Belfry could beat Raceland Sarrr?

Don't Know That I Agree ..but To Each Their Own ...lol

What do you base this prediction on?

**bac2369** · 10-16-2008, 02:34 AM

13 and 14 are two very good teams that are getting no respect in this poll just like Willaimsburg hasn't had any until now.

Cards10 · 10-16-2008, 12:16 PM

Sheldon Clark should be ranked at least 5th.

And exactly who have those teams played and what did they accomplish last season to base anything on? Exactly nothing.

Hazard has played 1 team this year thats considered good, that being Green County, and look at the outcome of that game. Same case for Estill County playing Breathitt, but they couldn't pull out the W. Williamsburg hasn't defeated anyone worth bragging about either.

So when the 3 actually pull out a victory over someone worth bragging about they'll get more respect.

This Friday SC may earn something. But I doubt it. If they beat Bell I will consider them #1. Considering how much they lose by maybe alot less then #5.

Yea first games of the season are always hard if you play a good team. I agree Hazard hasnt really played anyone besides green but haven't lost since so i really believe if your in a certain spot you should remain there until beaten. Estill got killed by Breathitt last year and i think its a big turn around to lose by 1 point to a team that beat you twice last year at 47 to 8 in the regular season then in the playoffs 55 to 7. That has to account for something. Williamsburg beat a good Campbellsville team. There are a few also in this that haven't had any quality wins yet.

Estill did make a nice turn-around from last season but unlike Breathitt County, Estill County brought back nearly their whole team and Breathitt lost a lot to graduation. And for the few that haven't played anyone yet, they have last season to backup things on like Belfry who went to state.

Harlan should be thrown in there somewhere. Just beat a good middlesboro team by 22.
