They opened up with LexCath, followed by 6A Bryan Station who from an athletic standpoint is as good as anybody in the state.. They then played Whitley County and Middlesboro who are great local games that produce very good gates, especially Middlesboro. They have to play Middlesboro, IMO. So, there is 4 non district games. Then they have their 5 mandatory district games, followed by the border war with Harlan County who just so happened to be a 5A Semi Finalist.

Exactly who do you think they should drop and why?

LexCath- state power
Bryan Station- one of the few teams that closests resembles Central in talent.
Whitley- 5A mountain school
Middlesboro- Civil War game that should always be played
Harlan County- Top 10 5A program 30 miles away.

The only one I think they could even consider letting go would be Whitley, but pick up who in their place? Whitley beat a very good Somerset team this year, I don't care what the conditions were.

I think a good non district schedule would look like this. Not have any teams that you'd beat by 40. To me that doesn't really make a team playoff ready.

Belfry-should play every year imo
Harlan County-excellent team to schedule
Lex Cath, Bryan Station or any of the bigger 6A programs in the Lex area(Scott County would be another one)
Covington Cath, Highlands, Cooper, Conner or any of the bigger schools in the Northern Ky area
Knox Central

Imagine that the schedule would look like this then:
Belfry
Scott County
Covington Catholic
Knox Central
Regular district games
Harlan County

Now would this get your team playoff ready? I think it would.
