I disagree. I think that it is fair to acknowledge a school's history. For South Laurel do you think that they should not be able to claim that their school is the state champs when it was Laurel county before the split. I think it is a fitting tribute to your school's past and should be completely acknowledged.

By the way, I think that I was wrong in the beginning post. I believe that Dorton had one as mentioned before and Virgie had 7 which gave the total of 14. Please if someone has any way to confirm these old regional records, let me know. :Thumbs:

South Laurel has a different complaint than SV. SL never consolidated. They just added the word "South" to their name. Therefore their's should count.

SV on the other hand. Was consolidated and created. A NEW SCHOOL. SV didn't win those titles, Dorton and Virgie did. And that is the case with ANY school that has consolidated.

If you counted them for the new schools. You would need to change the programs and replace all the old school names with the new ones. And IMO that would be a slap in the face to the people that played for those teams and earned those banners. I'm sure if you asked one of those former players. They would tell you REAL quick...Virgie won that title NOT SV or Dorton won that title NOT SV.

Now I am all for keeping the history and taking those old banners and placing them inside the new schools. That way people would always see them and know. :Thumbs:
