Letcher Central is turning into a JOKE! I am going to send my kids to Jenkins. I have been a LCC fan since it's inception but I have lost all respect for that school system as well as the school and it's athletic department. I realize that Jenkins isn't that strong right now but they are young. They only have two seniors on their team and Jenkins JV and Middle School teams are much more competitive with the teams of their respective districts than LCC or their consolidated middle school team. At least they have a coach who cares about the players. You wait, in 5 years time people are going to set up there on the hill with their top notch facility and look around to see empty bleachers and a loss on the scoreboard.

Sounds like you have the same mentality as the school board. There is other sports at LCC other than football(Surprise, Surprise). You have a Girls Soccer team which is undefeated and one of the favorites to win the region and is currently a two time defending district champ. You have a boys Soccer team which is one of the better teams in the region and getting better each year. You have a volleyball team that is poised to win a sixth straight regional championship. You have a boys and girls cross country team who are defending regional champs. You have a girls basketballl team who has won one regional, one regional runner-up and four districts since the beginning of the school's existence. They are also well-disciplined on the floor and have never had a technical foul called on a player(can you say the same about the personal fouls and unsportsmanike conduct called on the football players) in the history of the school. They have a boys basketball team that has won two districts and is poised to be one of the top four teams in the region this year with very few Seniors. Their baseball team has won a regional title and is consistently a winner as well as being well-coached and well-disciplined. The softball team has had a winning season every year. The track team has won multiple regional titles as well as the tennis team. The wrestling team has also been competitive also. So when you say the athletic department, I hope you mean football as the future is bright for every other sport much to the consternation of certain people who have turned Letcher Central into a football dictatorship. It has backfired to no surprise to many in the community. When the school was developed, they openly stated that football was the anchor sport. If it wasn't for the other athletic teams representing the school in a winning and classy manner, the "anchor" would sink the ship.
