[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

Not gonna be popular with this comment, but here goes nothing. You know why they wanna play the easiest schedule? Because like you said they can rack up wins and then when they get beat in the playoffs, it’s always “they cheat”. Or “the refs cheated us” or “they recruit”. And they use that to keep their fan base from saying “well what does it take to beat them? Hey, maybe it’s the coach being afraid to develop players”. Belfry and Pikeville have put up with this “recruiters” and “cheaters” or “rich boys school”, etc. I’ve heard them all. That’s why they won’t play us. Sometimes they won’t even play Paintsville or Hazard for the very same reason.

I don’t wanna hear it either. 99% of the people who complain KNOW I’m right. But they don’t want to throw away that crutch. My advice? They need to focus on developing their feeder programs (Little leagues), junior high, etc and don’t be scared to play.

I agree with every syllable of this post!
