I think if either of you are heading the program, you would take the same steps to build a program as BL has been doing. I think Pburg has a great program and staff. I would never knock them if you would actually speak positive about the program. I mean, Coach Derossett was at BL and he took them out of district and produced one above 500 record. To get kids out you must win games. Why play tough teams and get them beat to death like the past 20 years. I think BL will have a tough schedule.

BL plays pburg (top 5 team in 2A next year)
plays Leslie County (prolly a top 10 team in 2A next year)
Paintsville is getting better and they are playing in the apple bowl. So that will be a tough opponent.
Allen Central will be a solid contender against pikeville next year. They return nearly everyone.
Shelby Valley will be pretty good, because they are returning so many seniors.
BL might not be playing tough schedule as Pburg but they are not walks in the park.

5 years ago BL was the laughing stock of the state. They have came a very long way!!

Tebow, yes Betsy Layne is in a lot tougher district this year. All of those games will be tough for them. I was talking about the non-district schedule. Dont get me wrong, i'm not saying to add the likes of Belfry, Sheldon Clark, or Breathitt.
For example take two of the following three off the schedule Bracken, Jenkins, or Knott Co. which combined for only 2 wins last season & add a team like Raceland or Middlesboro to up the competition & build from that each year as your team progresses. The better the competition the better your team will progress through out the season & prepare them for the playoffs. Please once again i'm not talking your team down i'm simply giving my opinion on what will make them better.
