I get it Greenup aren’t world beaters but that program is miles ahead of where it was 5 years ago. Johnson Central can make a lot meiodcre teams look flat out awful during the course of a game.

For teams like that, Greenup, etc.. All I say is keep on trucking, keep on building and getting kids out. You are right, many will scoff and laugh at that and losing big to a Johnson Central. What a lot of them don't know is, maybe 5 years ago they would've put a running clock on you in the 1st quarter (not saying they did, just my own analogy). Only the most in depth high-school football fans really notice the changes and quality difference in non traditional powerhouse teams. If Bell is bad, then suddenly they improve, you'll see everyone on the board acknowledge it and a lot of "They are back" type of stuff. But if you're a "never was" school, it takes a lot more work to get people mentioning your program in not such a joke fashion. I say, keep on keepin on, maybe sneak in quietly and after 2 or 3 years of solid seasons, eventually you start getting recognition. A lot of teams on here have never won a championship, or haven't done so in decades, but are on here all the time like they are 3 time back to back state champs. :-) In reality be proud of what your team is doing, and that is enough. Wins will come, and the memories are what it's all about, even above winning. I'm gonna tell a secret and some will scoff and laugh at this, but the memory of winning, even a state ring, will pale in comparison to that time your best buddy, Billy, the very good, but sometimes clumsy tight end walks into the locker room, gets his legs caught in a training tape trap someone placed, slips on his cleats and tears down a locker room shelf as he busts his a$$...Or the time that tough running back on your team refused to let a trainer see him, racked up 200 yards on the ground, even in a loss to a top 5 school, running over D1 defender prospects, then that night is x-rayed and had a broken arm! That is the stuff that matters, as far as memories.
