I was defending a cheap shot at Johnson Central. JC does not have a pool of 1000 boys, and many boys who attend county schools never get to participate in sports like baseball because of transportation issues. So, a school like Pikeville or Paintsville normally has a much higher participation rate than county schools with much larger enrollments. That offsets much of the enrollment advantage that large county schools enjoy.

People should just congratulate teams for tournament wins and stop making the "they should dominate every year because..." excuses.

Agreed. I'm rooting hard for JC. They have a legitimate shot of winning the whole thing IMO. Very deep and talented team.
