To sustain success in 5A you must have numbers. Those numbers must commit themselves to the weight room and summer workouts. In the larger counties it is difficult to get kids to practice in the summer because of the distance to school. It is hard on a family to commit hard earned resources to transporting kids to practice. Eastern Kentucky community have been further stymied by the dwindling coal industry. I hope that these communities can rally around their schools. I expect the mountain schools to lose enrollment and resources in the near future. Rains is a proven coach and I hope he is given the opportunity to reverse things at LCC.
