So Powell County supporters, what's the deal with dropping Harlan County from the schedule and thus forfeiting your chances at a District title?

Hard to paint a positive picture for Powell County on this one as they claimed to "already have a game scheduled". Why schedule over your district schedule? Isn't a district game and the opportunity to compete for a district title more imporant than a meaningless non-district game?

"Cawood" sent a premature void contract when they thought they would be in a different district, without consent from the KHSAA. I agree, if your not playing for the district, why even field a team! Breathitt will be 20-30 pts better than Harlan Co. anyway. Larkey is a great coach but so is Hillard Howard and it took him 3-4 years to get Letcher Central on the same page. Evarts, Cawood, and Cumberland don't have the talent that Mercer Co had when combining with a traditional power house like Harrodsburg. Powell now has two games scheduled on the same day which gives them 11. It is not going to happen, they will either forfeit and play nine which will leave Harlan with 9 games or they will play it, which is a home game for them anyway. Agreed it looks like running from competition just to get a hopeful win against a first year program.
