How bout we ask the kids if they want any of their games taken away ??

How about if we poll LC's mom & pops on going to Pikeville for their kids to get bruised & battered?  Why are we rewarding bad resumes just so they can have an even worse resume?

Not a LC parent. I am a parent of a former high school athlete. I would give anything to see him play one more game, even if it is in a game that is expected to be a blowout.

As a former player I agree.  As I said in an earlier post, I played in the old 4 class system and we only won 1 playoff game in my high school career.  This was way before Raceland was how we know them now and the Rams usually always lost in the playoffs.  This was when we went against the NKY schools when their district was loaded and in some years they swept our whole district in the first round.  

My sophomore season we barely made the playoffs after a team we had beaten won against a team we lost to.  Our reward for that was a trip to play NCC and they would eventually be the state runner up after losing to Danville by 1 point.  That game would have been on par with our team this year playing Betsy Layne.  We were outmatched and got our butts kicked.  But guess what? No one came out injured, the seniors got one last game, and I have a story 20 years later to talk about the first time I visited the Cincinnati area.  Sometimes it’s just more about the game being played and the memories you made matter more.
