Not to take anything away from Hazard...
that program always strives for greatness and they were rewarded last year...
but I can guarantee you that if the dawgs played Bell County or the Black Bears it wouldn't have been pretty.

The mountain top-10 is a very subjective list because of the class system and Hazard usually gets a lot of love because they are top 2 or 3 in the state in 1A - a few years ago they beat 3 5A teams in one season (Clay, Perry, Letcher)...
so I think that love is deserved for the most part, but I would have a hard time putting Hazard at the top of the list when the overwhelming consensus is that they simply couldn't go the distance with a truly elite team in the mountains.

Couldnt agree more.
I try to beat this through the head of people when we do our rankings each week.
WYMT ignores the class system and goes solely off wins and losses instead of looking at a team and guessing at who would beat who. This is why you see years when a good Bell County or Belfry team get beat by somebody by Lex Cath they'll slip behind and undefeated Hazard, knowing there is no possible way some of those schools cold beat Lex Cath either or hold there on against a Bell or Belfry and others.

The "Mountain Top 10" for more or less is a pretty record list than anything, which is fie because there seem to be a lot of people that love it, however, in now way does it hardly ever list a true top ten. If that was the case you would rarely see 1A or 2A teams other than the Hazards or Somersets in the list.
