I agree with Pikeville, honestly they should be the the preseason number 1 in single A. Only losing two kids on a state semi-finalist, just wow!

Raceland graduates a lot from what I read on this site and the gap between them and Pikeville was non-existent this year. A game winning field goal is as even as it gets.

Hazard I believe loses a lot as well.

Paintsville should have a really good group of freshman that will become sophomores that transferred from Floyd county to start this year. Would have to say they are rebuilding this year but will be good.

Williamsburg tends to be good every three or four years. Imagine they will be strong but the gap to Pikeville will be big.

Honestly... everyone but Pikeville is a pretender right now in my eyes. Not that we haven't heard this before, but Pikeville and Beechwood should be on a collision course.

Part of me wants to agree with you. But in all fairness, I can’t. It’s always been my thought, defending state champ is #1 til someone in the same class knocks them off. I stand by that. I DO think with what we have coming back, we should be top 3, probably 2 in preseason, but that’s my opinion. I believe most likely we will see Pikeville open the season somewhere inthe 3-5 range in the state wide polls. And if Raceland turns into Fairview North and starts getting transfers from across the river, they could be one of the teams ahead of us, based on being state runner up. I’m ok with that also, because no matter my thoughts on the game, Raceland was ahead on the scoreboard when the clock struck zero and got to go Krogering.
