HCS Wrote:Not sure how any of that makes sense, but four years ago South beat Leslie 47-29 and Leslie beat Harlan 28-0 in varsity games. I think that was the only common opponent.
Harlan hasn't had a really good eighth grade team since the 1990s - unless I forgot one.
I was referring to Harlan Co best I remember the eighth grade team Iâm thinking about dominated middle school and it wasnât even close. Harlan Co is on a completely different level than SL, apples to oranges and such...

Yeah, New Harlan won a state championship three years ago - that was the middle schools that fed into Cawood High School.
Harlan was criticized for scheduling a 4A team even though they have been playing a 5A team. I think they placed Knox Central fairly recently and Knox has beat Harlan County the past few years.

Iâm not criticizing, just saying Harlan Co is far and away a better program than SL, all programs involved can schedule whoever they want itâs no skin off my tail....

Sorry Dougie, I think your headed in the right direction with your new coach but Harlan Co has loads more talent on the roster right now. Can Whitley be better than Harlan Co? Absolutely, but itâs gonna take a few years of politics being put to the side and getting kids back on the field...

When did Harlan County last beat Whitley County? :biggrin:

Harlan County won the district last year and the region the year before so I guess that's why it seems they have done better, but Whitley won some tight games recently, coming back from 28-0 down in 2016 and won another hard-fought one when HCHS went to the state final four in 2017.

Yes - strong junior and senior classes. The only impact player lost was Burkhart, a guard/linebacker who isn't playing.

Hope its not due to injury I hate it when kids don't get to play because of injuries

I've been wanting to answer some of these allegations, but unlike some of you, I want to get my facts straight before posting.
1-Harlan city approached HC to schedule the game
2-HC did NOT pay them $10K
3-Coach Creech did try to pick up another game. He spoke with Haywood about filling that time slot
4-KHSAA mandated that neither school could pick up an additional game
I saw the email. Item 4 "Neither school may schedule an additional game for 2019 to replace this contest". Item 5 "Harlan shall, in writing, notify Harlan County by October 1, 2019 as to its intention to fulfill its August 21, 2020 obligation for a second game."
Even if it wasn't already against BGR rules, I would still encourage you to research and not post something that is incorrect.

Another different generation on top of just to much for kids to do these days. Itâs hard to get them to endure the work and the heat when most of them rather just play football on a video game. Sad really theyâll never understand all the good times that come with playing this wonderful game...

Flicka Wrote:Sorry Granny but both sides have said money involved and yes 10,000. Five the first and five the second. That is fact.
Not true Flicka. The only money involved was a $4,000 stipend sponsored by First Priority.
And the statement made was "...They sold out when HC brought $10,000 dollars to table. HC didn't bring one red penny to the table.

Williamsburg has their toughest schedule in a while this year but honestly their coach never seems to try and schedule big time opponents to really challenge his team.

Kobe Burkhart back playing for Harlan county if he can stay healthy he will help.
