[Fly Like a Duck]

Comparing IND vs County that are all within the same county from WKY through CKY.

Fulton City>Fulton County (hard to really compare, but for arguments sake)

Mayfield>Graves
Murray>Calloway
Tilghman>McCracken
Russellville>Logan
Owensboro>Daviess (Daviess+Apollo)
Bowling Green>Warren County
Glasgow>Barren County
Caverna=Hart (see Fulton)
Bardstown>Nelson (& Thomas Nelson)
Campbellsville>Taylor

Boyle and Danville?

All-Time? Danville
Last 30 years collectively? Danville
Last 15? Boyle

Paris and Bourbon? Up until the last few years and a few years there in the late 90s to early 2000's? Paris.


NKY? Not even up for discussion. Birds and Beechies.


SEKY and EKY?

Corbin>whichever of the three counties the city sits in that you want to include them, or all three.

Somerset>Pulaski's (maybe not the last couple years, but the Pulaski schools have to do it a lot more to call them THE All-Time football school of that count)

Hazard>Perry

Bell>Middleboro and Pineville.

Letcher>Jenkins

Harlan County>Harlan IND

Johnson>Paintsville

Belfry>Pikeville (but, Pikeville is still the tops over the other 3 county schools)

Ashland>Boyd
Russell>Boyd (or is it Greenup or both)
Raceland>Greenup
Fairview>Boyd

Outside of a few, the places where there is both an Independent school and a county school, the INDY is better.

So, my whole question? Who's to say that if the Independent playing football school in so and so county hadn't stayed Independent, that football at that now defunct school wouldn't be like those mentioned above? I guess we will never know, but the facts above prove otherwise.
