Where does high school football in the Commonwealth rank?

Living in eastern Kentucky I wish an assistant off of said schools would take a chance and coach in our neck of the woods, bringing a winning mentality and culture too. Maybe restore some balance.

I don't think a coach from teams like Trinity, Central, Bowling Green or Highlands could come to Eastern Kentucky and have as much sucess and I think they know it and that is why they don't do it. I think we have right now and in the past coaches in eastern Kentucky who could go to those places and do just as good. People like Haywood from Belfry, Hilton from Bell Co and Matney from Johnson Central come to mind right now. Some people probably don't know this but in 1997 the Bourbon County team that won a championship was coached by Dudley Hilton from Bell Co. He left Bell for a year or so and in his 1st season at Bourbon with a new team and the kids with a new coach and new system won a state championship the 1st year. I think that is a good guage of what some of the Eastern Kentucky coaches could do if they had the population and talent level that some of the teams out north and west enjoy. This is just my opinion.
