Letcher is having a pretty good season but if they want to take the program to another level they have to start playing a better schedule.  I know they played Pikeville but aside from that they will need to play some tougher teams to get better.

Perry is a district game had to play them. They have played Pikeville and David Crockett who is the 9th ranked 5A team in Tennessee and is 4-2 on season. They also played Hazard who is a class A power most years and had beaten Letcher 9 out of 10 times and you still have Johnson central and Bourbon to play. Even the bad teams on Letcher’s schedule like Pike central was beating Letcher 2 years ago. Letcher has another open date on Oct 15 and I would love to see them play Middlesboro that week since neither has a game. I think Letcher is one of the best 5 or 6 teams in the Mountains this year and could beat anyone except for JC, Pikeville and Corbin. Those 3 teams are in a class by themselves this year. Last night showed everyone just how good that Pikeville team is. LCA is one of the best teams in the state regardless of class and Pikeville give them a heck of a game. Letcher’s region is just so tough right now with Corbin and JC. I’m hoping they will drop to 3A the next realignment.

David Crockett is #15 in Region 1. #8  team beat them 35-7
