I like this district. Clay County is my darkhorse in this district for 2023. Rice and Allen duo will be hard to stop.

Agreed this move may have help Clay more than anyone in the State.

I think it helps Knox just as much or maybe even more. The Panthers get away from Corbin and now are chasing Bell County to be the top of the district. I think that it is a realistic goal for Knox to beat Bell for district titles considering that they beat the Bobcats last year.

I like it. Definitely helps Knox Central.

Knox won’t win but a couple games now that Chadwell left for North. Knox only lost one game with Chadwell in first five games, how many Knox lose after Chadwell left? Now KC best lineman transfers to North. I think KC will be last in district even with Partin kid. If I was the Partin kid I’d be headed to Corbin where he can play Boyle for State Championship.

From the stats it looks like Chadwell only had 250yds and 1 TD in 5 games and 24 tackles. If you remove the South Laurel game it was 4 games with 120yds and no TDs and 18 tackles. So I’m not sure how much he really played into wins or loses, Partin took care of the offensive production to win those games.

Also from what I was told the lineman wasn’t a starting offensive lineman until late in the year when injuries took out a couple lineman. I think he started defensive line though and is a huge kid.

Coach Buckner will have them ready going into his second season and honestly I see Knox winning at least 7 games, maybe more and competing for their district and region. I feel like Bell, Clay and Knox will be very evenly matched. As for Partin, I can’t see any reason he goes anywhere when he’s been at Knox his whole life and now has a legitimate chance to win district and maybe more. The winning 2 games comment is laughable and as a player moving to Corbin would have zero benefit to the kid. Just ask the last Knox Co running back who transferred there how much Corbin helps with recruiting and how quickly they forget about their senior transfers after football season is over.

This may sound crazy but I could see Knox playing as many or more playoff games this year than Corbin if in fact Corbin has to face Boyle in round 3 with the new districts.
