:notbad:

This is exactly what happened. It made me lose a lot of respect for a team with a lot of tradition. I would love to see Corbin and Whitley play. I wanted that game when I was at Whitley. I always thought we didn't play because of Cotton Adams (which I totally respected), but last year Jewelled showed his true colors and the real reason why we never played Corbin.

Also, I know first hand Corbin tries to steal kids from Whitley. There were several great Corbin players that played at Whitley with RIUTG and I, when they were younger.

I really do not want to see a Williamsburg Whitley series. It really wouldn't be much different than LC. Williamsburg would probably get a win a little more often than LC does, but most of the time it would be an ugly game.

I think Cotton had a little to do with it to begin with but i think it was more Corbin by far.
Cotton pretty much took Corbin back to that next level in the 80's and since him, it just hasnt been pretty. Whitley being able to steal him was great and Corbin letting him go was the stupidest thing ive ever seen.
My and you both colonel had many teammates that went to Corbin and i wont get into that mess on here, but you and i both know what was "given" to them for going just about every time. Pure recruiting. Thats all it is. I know this because i was as well. I wont mention names, but lets just say a corbin "Parks director" approached me one time asking me what i "thought" about moving to Corbin since i already lived in Corbin and wanted to know "what it would take".
I think them days are long gone now, but it did happen at one point. Kids now dont care if they play for either. And hell, Whitley could probably recruit some of the Corbin kids before Corbin would get any of ours with the shape that program is in. And Corbin plays South every year, which is bigger than Whitley and have success so they cant pull that card out. I actually think South is a bigger rival than Whitley for Corbin. With that said its absurd the two arent playing.

As far as our schedule id like to see this.
Bell Co.
Rockcastle Co.
Corbin
Knox Central
South Laurel
North Laurel
*Harlan Co.
*Perry Co.
*Letcher Co.
*-District Games

All of these games are relatively close and would make for some great gates.
