Could you imagine an 0-10 team winning state.....

Ending the season 5-10. I'm sure that wouldn't make a few national headlines.

That would make some headlines and seems far fetched, but it has not been that uncommon for teams in Indiana to win state titles with 3 or 4 losses. In fact, last season Indianapolis Cathedral won the 4A title with a 10-5 record and Fort Wayne Bishop Luers won 2A with an 11-4 record.

This year, Bishop Luers finished the regular season 0-9, but they won their first and second round playoff games before falling in the third round. When is the last time that you saw a winless team in Kentucky win even one playoff game? Their second round win was over a team that entered the game with a 7-3 record, which had also won a state title a few years ago. That is why I say that the problem with many of the teams that make the playoffs in Kentucky is not their bad records, it is their bad coaches.
