Mayfield plays the big schools around them.
Newport catholic too and both make great runs in playoffs. I'm sure there are several other examples of lower class powerhouses that play bigger schools and have success. As a neighbor to pulaski, I always follow these matchups. I hate to see them end for whatever reason, but I can't buy the fact that it's for the best and somerset has no business playing these games.

These kids never get to compete against each other in football. They already won't play at the ms level and now high school.

I don't think Somerset has any interest in doing business with a faction that is attempting to slit the proverbial throat of their school system. The comment by a Pulaski board member when asked by the commonwealth journal regarding the enrollment situation: "Somerset needs to learn how to stand on their own two feet" is telling enough as to the respect or care PC school district has for somerset schools. Looks like it's bleeding over to athletics, and maybe that's to be expected.
