Hoot has made a valid point IMO.

However I would say that Boyle wasn't over-hyped IMO. They were as good as anyone in the Class when they were healthy. But Reese Smith was hurt at the end of the season, Crawford was hurt a lot in the early season and Bartelson was a little hobbled as well at the end.

Add all that to a revenge game for Corbin, at Corbin, and you have the makings of what happened in their semi-final matchup.

That said, Corbin deserved the win and I still scratch my head over the way they lost to Central in the Final.

Will be more accurate of an assessment IMO after Boyle runs up vs. CAL, HHS, Lex Cath and Anderson County in 4 straight weeks.

You forgot about other season ending injuries of starters Hotchkiss, Baker and Holderman and the sicknesses of Wilson Kelly (had surgery and lost 40 lbs thruout the season) and Reed Lanter (stomach virus game week with an IV at halftime of Corbin game).

These aren't excuses, but they can't be ignored if you're being called "over-hyped".

Corbin deserved the win regardless of these issues. It's a team sport and the Rebels didn't get the job done.
