After reading a bit of the Frederick Douglass thread, one poster said was possible like a 3 to 5 loss season. In your opinion, would you rather play a few cupcakes during the season, mostly cupcakes during the season or a tuff schedule from beginning to end? 

2021 Belfry would be a good example of a team starting a season 0-5 or a 2022 Pikeville team starting a season 0-2 and then winning a championship in the end. I think the season with the right coaching adjustments make or break a team. I know any team can schedule a tuff opponent but are they actually ready to face that type of competition. The reason I say not any team, you got teams that are just trying to get a winning record let alone make a run at the district or deep playoff runs. But if you are a team making the deep playoff run, do you load the schedule? 

10-0 Regular season or 5-5? RPI at home or RPI on the road?

I like a loaded schedule myself. Hazard may have done just that for example with there schedule. 

Thoughts?

With me saying 3-5 loss season doesn't mean they are not championship caliber team. Think about this, Douglass has had cupcakes city of lexington and district play (we can all agree to that) and that has hurt them deep in the playoffs when they faced teams like S. warren, Owensboro etc etc. Last season 5A was down with Scott Co not the same in the past, BG was talented but very young and should content this season, S. warren and Cov cath were down compared to their championship years. Douglass finally broke through, which was great for them. I'm not saying FD can't or won't compete with the top 6A teams, just saying it won't be an undefeated or 1-2 loss season like they are use to having.
