[MR.PERFECT]

Your point is well taken Mr. Perfect and if I were in your shoes I'd be aggravated too. BUT... I'm a Black Bear fan and I'm hoping to win every game we play. I ain't gonna lie, it would be awesome to win a state championship, put an asterick beside our name on the record, it wouldn't make a difference to me. I don't even know if winning state is a possibility. This consolidation will be good for our county. I'm of the opinion that Harlan County is due.

Next year we will be playing a 5Aschedule , but this year we ain't. We hope to enjoy this season and hopefully it will be a springboard for our team's future. Our boys are working really hard in the weightroom and are anxious to get some pads on here in a month or so. Who knows what will happen this year? Two things are for sure: We have us a dandy coach that knows how to win and we have a bunch of home grown mountain boys that want to win!!!

Fair or not fair, it's reality.

You should win every game you play, Your consolidated with 2 other schools which have some tradition. Cawood had a few good years, Evarts and Scotty Russell, Cumberland and Massey. You should win every game you play, YOU HAVE 6A NUMBERS by enrollment. HCC from what I hear is going to be 6A not 5A, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Harlan co. my be due and I would be all for them if they were playing in 6A where they belong. IT WILL NOT BE A SPRING BOARD FOR THE FUTURE.
Mercer went 15-0 (5A) in 2A. They won 6 games in 5A the next year.
I wish HCC the best of luck in 6A BUT as you said: FAIR OR NOT, IT'S REALITY
It's obvious others must see it the same way as you and it's a really good situation for HCC this football season. NO WAY THIS IS RIGHT! IMO
