Here we go again. Just 11 on 11. Doesn't matter if one team only has 300 boys to pick from and the other has 800. Just 11 playing. Lets let Russell, Raceland, and Fairview form an All-star team, since it doesn't matter. Why even have classes? Lets bring Trinity to Russell. They only have about 2000 boys. Only 11 get to play though.

Although I would like to see the Ashland area team, which would be Ashland, Boyd, Russell, Raceland, Fairview and Greenup. Which would probably equal close to 2000 boys, play one of the big Louisville schools with equal numbers. BTW think the KHSAA would let them play 3A?

Russell should be able to play with a Trinity. Russell is year in, year out one of the best in 3A. The years Boyle Co were untouchable, NOBODY 1,2,3,4A in the state could stay within 2 touchdowns of them. Danville when single A beat St. X 4A. Beechwood 1A has beaten Cov Cath and Highlands. It is 11 on 11, however, the talent part and coaching does come into play when you play up. When Pikeville was ranked in the top 20 of the COUNTRY and had a write up in sports illustrated, they were 1A and destroyed everyone including the best 4A school in the state that year. And yes, Pikeville was loaded at every position and were well coached. If you have 5000 boys to choose from and only 30 come out or less have talent, that could put you in a bad position. I have to agree with blitz, they put their pants on the same way, lace their shoes, and pad up. There are plenty of 1 and 2 A schools playing 5 and 6A schools on their schedule to help them prepare for the playoffs.
