Until laurel co gets some kind of solid youth program nothing will change. North and south will have a good group come thru from time to time and be competitive in some years but not consistently. Pulaski co has youth football as school based and have about 800-900 kids playing youth football in their county and city leagues . laurel co had optimist football till this year and even optimist cancelled the football program for this year. Last couple years optimist in laurel co had about 120 kids playing football. So pulaski co has 800 plus playing and laurel co had 120 easy math there. now laurel co will have zero kids playing football unless they play in corbins league. Its a mess

I agree untill they get something going it's going to be a long haul. I can remember back in the when it was just laurel county they had a pretty good pop warner league and all the schools had a 6th & 7th grade teams. ( Lilly, Bush, Hazel Green, and London.) then the jr high had 8th and 9th grade teams. From 1983-1988 laurel had fairly good teams even with having a district that included all the Lexington school.

Why aren't the youth playing anymore is the big question??
