I’m with ya!!! People let ONE game influence their thoughts and emotions. And then they run wild with it. As I stated on another thread NO ONE in the top 4- boyle, Corbin, belfry, central- are 30 points better than the other. And if each team played a series with one another, EVERYONE would have a loss. But they are letting that one game dictate this season. It’s gonna come crashing down very hard for them. The east is going to be a gauntlet for whoever gets far enough. But their won’t be any running clocks past the region championship and semi’s. I wish they’d come around and regain reason, because all they are doing is giving those boys from belfry -or West Virginia, that’s for you dougie😜-bulletin board material. You can’t count them out, and you certainly don’t want them having more motivation. But I think it’ll only get worse rankings wise. I’d say we’ll drop a game the next two weeks. It’s hard to maintain focus and prepare for teams like that, in that short of time. Plus being in a physical game like that back to back takes a toll. Belfry might even drop a game before the season is over, while they figure it all out. I think it’s more likely we do than them. But boyle probably won’t. And central i dunno. But when it happens you’ll see more craziness with these “rankings”. But that’s ok. Paper means nothing when you hit the field. Remember the little giants??? Hahaha

I agree my friend, the paper rankings mean nothing. I said it before, I don't see Boyle or Corbin losing a game in the regular season, I just dont. As far as Belfry, it's very possible that we'll have 2 or 3 loses hung on us before November. Cabell Midland is the biggest school in West Virginia and they are just as good as Huntington is. Also, we have to travel to Johnson Central this year and their a powerhouse in 4A and have been in the running for a championship the last couple of years. Even the Pikeville game next Friday isn't going to be a walk over like in years past. We have some tough games to play with still alot of questions to be answered as far as our team. But we'll get there. I'll truly be shocked if the Hounds and Rebels dont finish undefeated this year. I know you guys have some tough games coming up but none of which I think you'll lose. But the Hounds will have to stay focused and not get complacent or they could easily find themselves behind at the end of the 4th Qtr. I think they'll be fine though.
