Class 5A football preseason top 10

School

2015 record

Josh Moore’s comment

1. Bowling Green

14-1 (champs)

Purples returned to mountaintop last season after slight stumble in 2014.

2. Highlands

8-6

Historically bad start didn’t temper 2015 postseason expectations or reality.

3. Pulaski County

13-2

Sophomore Wiley Cain has the unenviable task of replacing QB Riley Hall.

4. Owensboro

11-2

New cross-districts sadly don’t prevent early meetings with Bowling Green.

5. Christian County

8-4

Several SEC schools, including UK, have looked into jr. QB Kolbe Langhi.

6. Fern Creek

12-2

Kyree Hawkins headlines a senior class eager to build on Tigers’ best finish.

7. Southwestern

8-4

Senior Austin Daulton might be the scariest DT anyone lines up against.

8. North Laurel

11-2

Jags nearly had perfect regular season, nearly upset Pulaski in regional.

9. Covington Catholic

5-8

OL Hunter Ziegelmeyer is bulky and bright — he’s into chemical engineering.

10. South Oldham

10-3

Dragons on folks’ radars after strong 2015 season ending in region finals.
