Middlesboro is in perhaps the most competitive district in all classes across the state. Added (almost automatically now) is Bell Co. and Corbin each year.

IMO, without adding ANY other top-tier team they will already have a schedule which prepares them well for the playoffs. It could even be a mistake adding much more...

I agree. Middlesboro had a pretty tough schedule this year. Their opponents combined record for the year was 71-39. Only 2 teams on their schedule had losing records.

Middlesboro has come a long way over the last few years. I think they will only continue to get better.
