no offense, but I'm not buying that. County school typically have more students to choose from than independent schools, because they are larger. So the proximity advantage is usually evened out by that. Look at Corbin and the surrounding schools. All 3 that surround us are larger schools. Therefor they have more numbers to choose from. I'm pretty sure we'd all like to have more of a sample of bodies to choose from than living closer to the school. If there is dedication from the students, parents, school, and coaches, travel time to practice and such should be taken care of. In fact, Corbin has reciprocal agreements with other schools such as whitley county, our kids can go there and theirs here (corbin). And, the kids make it to practice one way or another. Our RB when I was in school lived deep in whitley county, he never had issues. If anything, and on average, independent schools are typically at a disadvantage

Dosen't matter whether you buy it or not. Numbers are numbers. You just compared Corbin to teams in higher classes. If you don't think Corbin has advantages over Casey, Larue, or Garrard who are all in your class and had good teams this year then your'e just in denial.
