I don’t think any of these teams will compete with Corbin during this realignment. Corbin won’t lose a district game the next four years. Teams like Whitley should really try to build something and learn how to recruit during that time frame. Maybe find some hidden coal money and build some stuff. They already have the best campus. There is absolutely no reason to worry about the khsaa doing anything. They are a non factor. Might as well go get what you can. Kids are literally transferring schools to play different sports in different seasons, like the chadwell kid.
Interested to see how Rhymer does or if he will effective at all at this level.

I’m going to guess two realignments from now, Corbin will continue to grow and move on to 5A numbers unless they put a stop to it. Honestly never thought I’d see Whitley being smaller but here we are. It’s happening.

It wasn't that long ago that Corbin was a 2A school.....

yup…they have been very successful getting the kids in the north part of the county to go there. I’d almost guess that 30% or more of your kids from oak grove and north end up at Corbin. I’ve been back in this area for around a decade now and first thing I noticed was Corbin’s positioning of their new school.

Whitley County has always lost a large amount of kids from Oak Grove and the Middle School. How can they stop this? How can they compete? Start  recruiting from here to Knoxville?

I believe a parent told me that Oak Grove doesn’t charge kids for pre-school etc. So kids go to Oak Grove for a while then enroll at Corbin. I’m also told the entire Keavy area is South Laurel territory and yet Corbin pulls more athletes from Keavy area than most. The TCSA Football is where the recruiting starts and if you live in London, Knox, Whitley or Corbin and you take your kids to play at TCSA you’ll have a great experience and will teach your kid how to play football. Corbin got it figured out no doubt.

We need to build a wall or something. lol
