Oak Grove had around 24 6th graders on their team when I was in elementary school. That's not counting the 20 5th graders they also had to make up a good sized team.

Out of those 24, about 10 never played football again, about 5 transferred to a different school system, and that left around 7 or 8 going to the middle school, where as you know, central kids had the upper hand when it came to playing time, even though oak grove kids were usually better. I know if I lived next to oak grove school and worked in Corbin, I sure as hell wouldn't want my kids to go all the way to Williamsburg when they could be closer to home and me while I'm at work. And by the time those 7 or 8 went through high school they graduated with 2 seniors left off that team. So even if we Whitley could blame somebody for poaching, it's also in them because there were 12 or 13 they should have kept after to play. Instead they never even tried after they quit.

It's no secret that they've always had the most numbers in the district. It's a reason Corbin built their primary out in the middle of the county and started annexing. It's also one of the more wealthy parts of the county, if not the wealthiest.
I'm guessing Corbin wants those kids to start AT Corbin since that new school only has K-2.

In other words the kids are still going to whitley.
Whitley just hasn't capatilized on it yet. Funny thing is, most of the good transfers Corbin has got from Whitley were from other elementary schools.

One thing I will say, if Whitley decided to open another small high school to accomadate those kids in that overlapping area, similar to say a Lynn camp to Knox Central, then as a 1A school they would dominate.
Youd get rich talent going there from K-12 from both Whitley and Corbin and I guarantee, with the right set up and coaching, would be on a Mayfield type run after starting up.

Honestly i would wager that 50% of Corbins football players do not have a true corbin zip code. I wish that the KYMSFA would take a look at players zip codes before they could enter the tournament. Dont say they cant do it, because all i read is how they should control the scheduling, districts, game contracts, punishments, Conferences, etc. But making sure teams dont recruit players....... I understand students move, but come on. Dont pull the "they moved to corbin" when the player lives in a different county. The youth program there spends more time recruiting then coaching. Even if the COACH doesn't do it, it's still wrong to have parents and players do it for them. All i read on here is about a few teams leaving a conference, but everyone seems to not realize why they left. Corbin by no means dominated but they are a very well coached team, sometimes counties get tired of the same bull crap. Clay, Whitley, Williamsburg, NL, SL, Knox, Etc. Nobody will play them. Is it because every team is scared? get real! every county is tired of the same thing. The KYMSFA would never punish them even if proof was given to them. Its hard to play innocent when not a single county surrounding them will play or join a conference with them. JUST SAYING, only my opinion.
