Whitley has a very good group of young players, including two who are out for the year with injuries, but they are older than Harlan County. Whitley starts three seniors (Jones, Dingess and Sizemore) and one junior (Vanderpool). HCHS starts one senior and one junior and two or three freshmen.

Yea, but Whitley is missing what is a sure starter in Estes and maybe a starter in Centers both of whom are frosh.
They also have two eighth graders and a 7th grader.

Overall Whitley has one 7th grader, three eighth graders, five freshman, one sophomore, one junior, and three seniors on the roster, so id say just as young considering HC has two seniors, one junior, and three sophomores.
