I agree whole heartedly doc. It was and is time to move on to bigger things. I’ve said before and stand by it, that I think we are just now to the point as a program, that we THOUGHT we were getting to 10-11 years ago. Not taking anything away from our first regional championship, semi championship, and title appearance teams, but we are on a different level now than we were then.

I’m not sure I agree with this.  The program is very strong now no doubt but there have been several Raceland teams over the past decade that would have given this years team a run for their money.  

Also remember Class A was a very different landscape a decade ago when you had Fairview (say what you want about recruiting but the fact remains they had good teams on the field), Williamsburg, Mayfield, Hazard, Paintsville, Pikeville, and Beechwood all playing at a very high level in Class A.  Had a few of the Raceland teams from those years  played last season they likely would have made it to the finals too.

Again I am in no way taking away from the hard work these boys put in nor how good they are.  But it really is hard to say if we’ve taken it up another level over the last 10 years when the playing field is nowhere near as competitive as it was a decade ago.
