That is what you don’t understand when you say Owsley’s middle school Perry has 3 East has almost 800 students West about 850 and RW almost 600 then u throw in the other s the other smaller schools it’s a numbers thing but the program at East have some kids in the 5th and 6th they think will be able to compete statewide.they don’t have all the kids playing on 1 middle school team.

Oh but I do understand, lol. I know it’s a numbers thing. Perry has 3 big feeder schools and Owsley has one. That wasn’t the purpose of my post. The poster mentioned a bunch of good middle school teams last season and left Owsley out of his list and I wanted to point out that they also had a good team, as their 33-3 record indicates. But I totally understand that smaller school districts are always going to be in a struggle to compete with systems that have multiple feeder programs. Owsley is the smallest public school district in the region, with just 700 students K-12. The Perry’s and Letcher’s are always going to win the numbers game vs Owsley. To further my point, one could put every citizen living in Owsley County inside Knott County’s Morton Gym and still have 500 empty seats.
