Mentioned it on a few other threads but how would u Pikeville people like to see all east ky small schools classic get worked out? Something like this:

Raceland vs Hazard
Williamsburg vs Pikeville
Paintsville vs Prestonsburg
Fairview vs Someone

It would be a rotating game between Pikeville and Hazard, both are a centralized location with turf fields. I know it will never happen, but with small schools consolidating like they are there is a chance that teams like the ones mentioned above could be the only ones left o the eastern side of the state. Thoughts?

This is similar in theory, but something Florida State took part in a few years ago. If you can get the schools on board, you could do a 4-6 team round robin and call it whatever you want to call it and the team with the best record with tiebreakers included gets a trophy.

You do it early in the year to avoid district play. And it adds incentive to the non-district games and adds a rivalry aspect to it.

Let's say it is this, so there are no district games:

-Pikeville
-Raceland
-Prestonsburg
-Hazard
-Russell
-Breathitt County

Week 0
-Prestonsburg @ Pikeville
-Raceland @ Breathitt County
-Russell @ Hazard

Week 1

-Hazard @ Pikeville (PCB) You can build in the PCB to this format every year.
-Russell @ Raceland
-Breathitt County @ Prestonsburg

Week 2

-Pikeville @ Breathitt County
-Hazard @ Raceland
-Prestonsburg @ Russell

Week 3

-Pikeville @ Russell
-Hazard @ Breathitt County
-Raceland @ Prestonsburg

Week 4

-Raceland @ Pikeville
-Prestonsburg @ Hazard
-Breathitt County @ Russell

That gives teams 5 non-district games with a week off and room to schedule another non-district. This helps with scheduling, you know who you will play and that you will have an even number of home and away for a 2 year set.

I have always thought it would be cool to have a tournament within the non-district like this.
