Harlan's schedule is very challenging. But, as you said, each game has the possibility of a win. It would not profit Harlan in any way to play a 5A school such as Harlan Co. and why would Harlan Co. want to play a 1A such as Harlan Ind.. A 5A school should play teams equal to or better than themselves. Thats how you get better. When a school has a thousand young men to chose from and another school is lucky to have a hundred to chose from it's obvious the larger school has the advantage. Why would the county lower themselves to playing teams that they have an advantage over. What good would it do U.K.to play Union College. Really this is such a dead topic theres no use in discussing further.

That sounds off like a defeated team from the start of the whistle to me.
Why does newprt catholic play Highlands, 1a vs 5a, why does beechwood play covington catholic 1a vs 5a, the list can go on and on. It is because it would be a close, financial boost and rivlary between two schools 1 mile apart.

HC does not have 1000 boys to choose from either. Please dont exagerate, it is around 450-500, still larger than H Ind but that is a far cry from 1000.

Playing Corbin because they are 2a and thinking that will make your chances of winning better because of class is like believing in the tooth fairy. Sure you may beat them one day but not because of class size, and the same thing can be said about playing HC.

I think city will not play because they are already losing kids and if they did play and get beat then city is afraid of more kids leaving, just a honest opinion.

Good luck to the dragons though, always wish luck to our county neighbors to make the entire county look good!
