I'll agree and disagree with this post:

At this point I'd have Johnson Central at #1 and Boyle County at a VERY close #2. Just for the simple fact of the schedules so far.

JC has beat a Lafayette team that played Scott pretty good as you said and beat a very good Capital team on the road and was in the 4A finals last year with the majority of that team back. While Boyle has played a weak first two games (not their fault in my opinion) as we all have "weak" opponants somewhere on our schedule whether it be district or non district teams. Boyle's just so happen to be back to back and their first two games and their starters may have played a total of half a quarter so far. We really haven't got a chance to see what that "Rebel Monster" looks like just yet, but it's coming.

Like you also said, the Rebels will definitely have their chance to prove their worth in the coming weeks. I will be shocked if Boyle County doesn't come out of that tough four game stretch against CAL, Highlands, Lex.Cath., and Anderson County 4-0, and by decent margins of victory. If/when they do, they are the clear cut #1 team in 4A impressively.

Lastly, I strongly disagree with the Rebels being over hyped last year. Boyle County went on the road and beat Belfry in the playoffs, which is something that hasn't happen very often on Pond Creek the last few years. The Pirates jumped all over the Rebels right out of the gate early in the game, and while most teams would have never recovered in that atmosphere Boyle regrouped fought back, took the lead, and never looked back. Not going to say what would have happened in the Corbin game if Boyle was 100% healthy because, for one, that wouldn't be fair to Corbin and another reason is, we just don't know. But saying they were overhyped is a stretch to me.

Again, this is just my opinion on the matter. I do think 4A comes down to one of these two teams. I don't know if by the way KHSAA has rearranged things if Boyle County and Johnson Central will have to meet before the championship game or if they have a chance to play one another at Kroger Field for the title. But I do know this, if they do meet it's going to probably be one of, if not the best playoff or championship games in 2019.

So Highlands just played a Tenn team all on here were saying how great they are and held lead late in fourth quarter without their best RB playing and you say Boyle is going into Ft Thomas and win by a decent margin. Not saying they won’t beat Highlands but winning comfortably at a tough place to play is a bold prediction.
