Just curious, too large? Just speaking of North but being large was never mentioned when the football team was being drilled all those years. They've had 1 boys basketball regional title and zero girls titles. Baseball has been competitive for the most part with a few titles, but certainly not dominant. I don't believe any of the other sports have done a lot. Cheerleading has been great, I'll give them that. Looks to me like it has very, very little to do with being LARGE and a lot more to do with your second reason, too organized from birth to lose. Translated that means hard work and practice from a young age, and a desire to play in and continue the winningest program in the state. It's a pride thing, not a size thing.

Its a lot easier to do the whole "from birth" thing when there are hundreds and hundreds of kids to choose from then it would be for say, a Williamsburg or Harlan to compete with.
I don't care about basketball not being classed, that's fine. Too many people like the sweet 16 and all that nonsense, but there is no reason for baseball and softball not to be classed.

If softball stays the same it is now for the next 100 years, Laurel County or one of the other big schools in the region, Whitley, Harlan Co., etc, will win the region 90%+ of that time. It just doesn't make sense to me. I watch teams like south London, the vipers, etc. play summer ball all the time and these smaller schools don't have the players or funding to do that. Think of how much better the game would be with South in a district with SW, Pulaski, Lincoln, etc and North playing Whitley, Harlan Co., Perry, etc like in football.
It would make for much better districts.

As I said, im interested in who will finish behind the Laurel County professionals. Better stay away from the times tribune this year in Corbin. I have a feeling a certain South player will be in every picture in every paper...
