Harlan County played Knox this year in Harlan County and we will travel to Barbourville this year.

HC scrimmaged Corbin last year, and I believe they have a few times in the past. My understanding is that Corbin just don't want to play a home and home, just want HC to come to Corbin. That's just what I've heard. We also have played Middlesboro, Leslie Co., and even Lynn Camp in the past but the smaller schools offer nothing but a local game for the Black Bears! Not talking down about these schools but they are smaller schools and generally the games weren't close.

I know it will never happen but I would like to play Harlan Ind. just because, but the better situation would be to play a City/County Bowl like Bell and M'boro. HC playing Knox, Bell, Corbin and Harlan Ind. could play M'boro, Leslie, or any other local team. What a gate that would be!!!

I think that would be a great gate Patriot. I would also like to see the Bears and Dragons play in a SEKC panarama. Harlan Ind. gave Bell a good showing last season in the panarama and they held thier own against Corbin after Corbin had begun to play better football. Could the Dragons beat HC? No way! But they might surprise some at how well they can play for a 1A team and then again they may get blown out. No difference than playing M'boro or Leslie Co. though. I think it would be great for Harlan county as a whole.
