I agree with phsforever, JC is the only big school in the 15th region while there several 1a, now most of the time money makes a hugh difference. There is no way Paintsvilles budget for sports is anywhere near what JC budget is. Money buys the equipment, and training facility it allows teams to go play in SC, Fla, Ga, and the better teams in the west, most small schools don't have the budget for that. The larger the fan base has (students) that want to attend games the more money that school will make. That is why I think it so great when a Shelby Valley, Or A Paintsville win a state title. But I also think it is great when Betsy Lane wins a all A title, or belfry wins a 3a title. Just because you didn't beat a school with 3 times the students or 3 times the budget does make you less of a champion.
