I’m not completely sure but I believe Powell County’s best player may be out right now nonetheless, a comparison to Knott may be a bit of an apples to oranges example. Yes the sports Plex has definitely been a positive factor in the development of players in that area but knott county has generated more good basketball players and teams than almost any county in the mountains. Hindman ,Carr Creek , and Knott Central, have been competitive at the state level and especially at the regional level throughout the history of high school basketball. To say that Powell could draw from Montgomery or Clark basically says they are Close enough to bigger counties to recruit players?
Is that considered “building a program”? I do know that Powell has a pretty big gap in the talent level of their younger high school players right now..
All that being said, there were a couple of losses this year that seem to be excessive blowouts which are indeed head scratchers
