I feel bad for the players that have lived and played in Cordia their whole lives. No way will they see the floor now.

Even before Rhodes came to Cordia, they would often have to pull kids from Perry County and other places because of the low numbers. So, its not like there are hundreds of kids from Cordia that are getting knocked out of playing.

Coaches Honeycutt and Combs put some very good teams on the floor with kids that were not "native Lotts Creekers".(Shockingly, they did have basketball at Cordia prior to 3 years ago) These kids are just a little farther away from the creek. I don't necessarily agree with it, either, but Hazard, KCC and PCC, among others, have made a practice of giving people jobs to bring their kids in or some other sort of perk. So, its not like Rhodes invented it. He just has much better contacts. If those other 3 schools had the access, they would be doing the same.
