A statement was made in the Pikeville thread regarding if Pikevilles JV team could be the 3rd or even 2nd best team in class A. Honestly…they probably could be. But to me that’s more so a deriving factor of how watered down football is in the smallest class in the state. 

This thread isn’t to argue this point one way or another. I was just interested in seeing how not only the JV schedules, but Freshman, and Jr High schedules seem to affect (or not affect) the development of a program. 

Personally, coming from Raceland, I have seen a complete turnaround in our program since we began competing in the KYMSFA. Granted, I can definitely see where it’s looked at as a money racket deal, but I do see the benefit as well. If you look at that, there’s definitely something to it. Most of the teams competing at a high level in that post season playoff, are the same programs competing at the HS level in late November and the first week of December. Obviously it gets a little tougher for the small school division bc there’s a huge difference between a D3 Raceland playing a D3 CAL. 

I know Raceland plays a pretty tough MS schedule. The JV schedule is tough too. I know Pikeville does the same thing. Thoughts?
