Paintsville has won games they were given no respect for.They beat Pikeville and Pikeville had the game won. They killed Bourbon who beat Southwestern(who is top 5-8) in 5A who is on the same level as Covington Catholic.

Beechwood lost to Cov Cath soundly. Yes they beat Lloyd Memorial who may give New Cath a run for there money. They also beat Holy Cross who just gave New Cath a good game and won at Ironton which is tough but there best player didn't play. Raceland played Ashland within 2-3 scores who blowed Ironton off the map.

But a man could keep naming things but Paintsville is worthy of the #1 because they haven't lost and blowed some good teams out. Beechwood has the lost to Cov Cath by a lop sided margin just like Raceland losing to Ashland. So the question is Why should we let Beechwood slide with there loss and make Raceland or whoever pay for it. 1-5 are very close and there is no big gap between them.
