[Batpuff]

Batpuff you are way to close to this discussion to make anything other than an unbiased comment. Your statement saying that you could care less whether they seed or draw says volumes about your own apathy towards seeing that your very own school and it's players receive the best possible opportunity to represent their school at Applebees. You must not have read the two previous posts before my original post to see other examples of what I stated. Those who work hard their whole lives and value fairness CARE. You should be just as ashamed to get on here and make those comments just as Coach Keeton should be ashamed in striking his vote to draw. You can praise Randy Keeton for many things but this one issue should be an embarrassment to all associated with the Lawrence County School system and if I were a fan, parent , or player at Lawrence Co. I would be outraged. For two staight years Lawrence Co. has had one of the top two teams in the 16th region, and have had to play the other top two team in the opening round of the 64th district. Both times Lawrence fell and had to spend the rest of the season at home listening to the radio. Kids like Michael Compton and Steve Blevins who have worked their tails off their whole lives should not have had that done to them. This same scenerio has happened way to many times in the 57th district over the years. All it does is make a mockery out of the procedure of busting your tail in practice every day and trying to put the best possible team on the field come game day. It is disgusting to me to have to see coaches just gamble on getting that lucky draw, than actually having to work for something to recieve the benefits. Purely disgusting and a very poor example being set forth for the kids IMO. That to me says volumes about the internal makeup of some of these coaches.

I assure you that nobody that chooses to vote to play based on their merits are afraid to face anybody. It's just a shame that you have acts of cowardice that negate a kids hard work. Do you understand now where I am coming from?

And no i am not close to the situation, And I could care less either way on seed or draw, its just like you said when we were playing in the 16th we had to play either Ashland or Boyd Co. every year. If coach Keeton didnt have all the confidence in the world that his team could play with who ever then I he probably wouldnt have taken the chance on a blind draw. But you can argue this point all day long and there are several views on this issuse that has been pounded in the ground for years by several including the player and Coaches. And yes its ashame to see kids like the two you mentioned have to set at home and listen to the game on the radio. But we are not the coaches and they make the choices. I agree the KHSAA has to do something, either all districts have to be seeded or they all have to be draw. They should'nt be any other way, to see some districts seeded and others by draw i will never figure it out. All I was trying to get across was not to call a coach or player out by name and then call him a name. And No its not just Lawrence Co that I am about, its about all the players and coaches that I dont like to seen called out by name and then called a name. If I offened you in anyway I am sorry. But I stand by what I say when it comes to calling someone out by name just to call them a name.
