With all due respect to the homeschool team they played, Ligon COGO, I don't see the value of any team with legitimate hopes of winning a District/Region scheduling them, especially one week before postseason. A small school like Cordia, I can see them scheduling them as their numbers are low and such. I will say Cordia did split with them, which says a lot about Cordia's numbers this season. I know last season they had a few girls on the team, so really not sure the value in beating such an undermanned team, but to each his/her own. Having said that, Hazard is closing their regular season against Ligon, not sure the point in that game either.

Not sure what happened with Morgan, but hopefully Betsy Layne will keep the road game at Breathitt this week on the schedule. As far as all these rumors and parents supposedly saying "my kid will go here" if Betsy Layne really wanted a coach that would draw kids in, Mason Hall is the guy they need. He doesn't steal kids, but he has the reputation as a guy who is all about the kids and would do anything for them day or night, someone like that is one you want to come play for, much like Elisha Justice at Pikeville or Tommy McKenzie at Johnson Central. Betsy Layne could have a really bright future for many years to come if they play their cards right.
