I agree! Same for Raceland. Yes we have Ashland, Ironton, and Fairview on the schedule...but I think we need atleast 1 northern ky team and 1 mountain team on the schedule as well. Historically good programs don't have to "recruit" or intise kids to come play for them. Kids want to play for good programs and win. For the most part, excluding the McPeek era, the Eagles haven't really done much. Raceland is in the same breath. Both schools have a SOLID football program. That's about the long a short of it. Neither team even has a Region Championship...Fairview's "recruits" really didn't impress me to much. King and Rutherford are fast and athletic, but Devon Turner is their best all around back. Speed, agility, vision, and strength. Much more impressive than the Cabell kids if you ask me. so why are we carrying on about all of this?

If I had to guess why these cables kids are choosing fairview is or Chris Jennings was just in the NFL so that garnered media attention. And mcpeek is a former Marshall player so that probably does as well. People on our side of the border know Ashland,Russell,and Raceland are historically better programs. But in Huntington the team of interest is fairview because of the recent NFL association and Coach Mcpeek.
