The reason that Letcher County went to a consolidated team was the lack of numbers in the feeder programs. It happened out of necessity. Whitesburg was the only legitimate program at that time. Coach Howard was going to get several kids from surrounding schools to come to Whitesburg and thus a county wide program developed. There were several drawbacks including transportation. We should have pee wee and 5th and 6th grade programs at our schools. It is our best interest to keep a consolidated team in my opinion, but without a strong coach it will not happen. Look at the surrounding football counties and see what they are doing.
