None of the Whitley schools played football before consolidation.
Totally different story than what im referring to.
Whitley even played a JV schedule in there first year of existence, which was 63.

Cawood, Cumberland, and Evarts all had several quality teams with kids coming together at one point overloading the talent for the first few years. This is obvious. NOW, the schools have been consolidated long enough that those kids that would have played and developed later on are no longer sticking with it. I made this point 3 or 4 years ago on this site and its holding true. While Harlan County may dress 50 or 60 kids, they would of had over a 100 playing football had there still been three different football teams.

Consolidation changes everything, and now Harlan County is starting to feel the bad side effects from it. If Perry, Letcher, and Whitley were even semi capable of fielding a quality team (which apparently there not anymore) than Harlan County should be finishing 4th in this district this year. Luckily for them, the other three schools cant get there heads out of there....

the whole district is weak this year for sure:truestory:
