As a runner at QB, I'd rather face Sizemore than Estep, unless it's inside the 10 yard line. That's when Sizemore became Earl Campbell. But Estep seems to have remarkable strength himself, just a lighter package. But so much quicker and elusive, one of the top athletes in 3A up to 5A I guess. Not knowing much about baseball and hearing how good he is I may actually be downplaying his ability. I don't know them personally but what I see being hard to replace with Sizemore was his heart and leadership. He seemed to be a very vocal leader at times on the field. I saw him take so many hits as a QB and still stay in the game. I don't think Estep could take that much punishment, BUT, he's so quick and elusive he's probably not going to take a clean shot. I'd image with baseball he's got a heck of an arm. Darned if you do darned if you don't against Corbin when they are "up". And Corbin's rarely ever "down". I don't know what exactly makes someone a "mountain team" or sure but I saw my school put in there by someone. I don't think we are anywhere on the top 10 personally. We are a solid team is what I'd call us. Mountain to me starts with Belfry (as they'll quickly tell you), Johnson Central, Corbin (but I don't really see the mountains there), Bell is on a darn mountain, and I guess Pulaski would be since it extends into the Cumberland region, and I was at their Walmart when a bear was trapped in there...:-D Doesn't get more "mountain" than that does it? Wayne is almost flat, so mountain? IMO this is Wayne's last year as a competitive team for awhile. I like Shawn over there and afraid they are about to take some flatout beatings after this season. After a coach works so hard to buildup a football culture, then they merge schools and throw you in 4A (although it's pick your poison in almost all classes) and then your athletic director before you basically wanted football to die...I don't know. I respected what Wayne did, what coach did over there. I think he'll be retiring fairly soon, at least as coach. We'll see I guess. He'd make someone with the talent a good tough minded coach if there's an opening.

Wayne County has higher mountains than Johnson County. Shawn can come over to Whitley County to coach
