[Defense Wins]

I always wonder why you can put teams from all the different classes into one ranking. It is obvious that Somerset, Hazard or Willamsburg could not play with Johnson Central or Knox Central. I am not sure Breathitt could either. Johnson Central has proven they can beat Belfrey. Bell and Harlan are ok for now. After some of these teams play each other we can see how all this shakes out. Still, no way the 1A schools can play with the 4A or 5A schools.

i think what your are meaning to say is 1A schools shouldn't be able to play with 4 and 5 A schools. Truth is, it is all based on talent and only 11 players can be on the field at one time. If everyone that is dressed could be on the field then yes, there is no possible way for a 1a school to compete. It is no different than basketball who has no state championship by class, yet you see 5 players battle it out and and the better team wins. I have seen many talented 1A teams this year like Williamsburg who has talent like sizemore, patrick, husky, griffith and shelton that can play with any team put on the field. Hazard is another example with olinger, whitaker, jones and johnson that can also play a heck of a game with any other team.
