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 

David Crockett was 8 a couple weeks ago and has went down a couple spots they was 11 in 5A after week 5. There only loses are to Letcher and Dobyns Bennet who is ranked 8th in 6A.

#8 Dobyns Bennett beat them easily. They are simply not very good. Football is down in the area. The Morristown teams are not as good as they were.
