I don't disagree that we could have benefited from a tougher schedule. We ended up with very few options and took LCA just so we would have 10 games on the schedule. We had, as some recall, a game scheduled with Bell that was taken from us.

My point is I want Bell to win the 3A title. I think highly of Coach Mills and consider the Bell folks neighbors. I make no effort to hide my disdain for the choice all those involved made to take the Bell game from the seniors on both sides. That notwithstanding, I'm a Bell football fan. They have no challenge outside of HC and LC on their schedule. I hope that does not hurt them in the playoffs.

We have PCC, HC, Rock and Russell Cnty, and Madison Central on our schedule who all represented and represent real loss opportunities for Knox.

As I recall and have talked with leaders of both Bell and Knox it was a two way decision. Not "taking from you" but both of them thought it was the best for both teams to stay away from each other a couple years before bringing the game back. Your recall may be an opinion.

Find it hard to believe you don't think Lex Cath and Lex Lafayette are challenging but you have a right to that opinion.

Not taking anything from KNOX because they deserve being recognized for years of accomplishments. I do remember before the Mills era they were in the grave and he led them out to a competitive program.

Been a Bell fan for years and still am
but hope for the best for KNOX.
