I see Mayfield, at worst finishing 8-2 with possible loss versus Hopkinsville and McCracken. I do not see Graves, Calloway, Ballard, Fort Campbell, Madisonville NH, Paducah Tilghman, Murray or Caldwell beating them this year.

If I was ranking the Purchase Area of West Kentucky:
1. Mayfield (Year of Seasoning, top tradition and coaching, still at the top)
2. McCracken (Key returners from SB 2, beat Mayfield last year, but will not be as easy this year)
3. Paducah Tilghman (New Coach and System and a huge roster, could be interesting).
4. Murray (New coach bringing the Veer to West Ky, a veer that Mayfield has stopped before)
5. Calloway (Great building year and could be underranked)
6. Marshall (Building but for a 6A school, playing Ballard and Fulton County tells the story)
7. Fulton County (Playing a tough schedule with limited but talented roster, 4th quarter tanks will be empty and the difference. )
8. Ballard Memorial (New Coach was numbers up and trying to build)
