You mean like this past season? Some of ya'll need to take the blinders off. Boyle may be very good.....heck they may win it next year. But to say they're the overwhelming favorite is horse hockey.

They didn't even win 3A this year with all the athleticism and coaching. JC and others are gonna have a lot to say about it. However....until someone knocks off Preston and the FS Wildcats, they hold down the #1 spot. Once that happens....then let the jockeying begin.

Boyle Co lost three starters to season ending injuries (5 starting positions), had their best player limited to one hand, their best RB hobbled by a knee injury (and didn't play RB the last month) and their QB was ill and on an IV the two days leading up the game vs Corbin including halftime of the game.

Now I'm not making excuses on the loss but let's get a reality check about where we stand.

Boyle Co was deserving of their #1 ranking in 3A and if healthy could have had a different outcome to the season. But to dismiss them next season as underachievers or "not as good as we thought" is ridiculous.

JC didn't win the title either and they lost some of their KEY PIECES to graduation. FS lost A TON as well, as did Corbin and Central. Boyle did not.

To say the Rebels aren't the favorite is wishful thinking IMO.
