This is gettin out of hand.....I started the argument by saying recruit, however, i then justified myself in saying the politically correct term known as Feeder programs....Everybody hears of these so called scandals out there...the truth is that nobody really knows for sure because schools do such a good job at hiding that stuff...think about it...no school is going to risk being banned from playing football or any other kind of consequence the khsaa might repremand.

The bigger issue though lies with the feeder programs...the north has so many more elementary schools and private middle schools where kids play football.....eastern KY has some, but not nearly as many as the north....Think about it....that is the one reason that pikeville is probably the best 1A team in the mountains.....it is because of feeder programs.....pikeville elementary and middle schools start kids out at an early age at football so that when they reach the high school level the coaches can concentrate on fine tuning skills instead of haveing to teach kids from scratch the basics of football.
