LCC was immediately placed in their correct classification in the old 4 class system....

Can't you see why people are upset? Non-district schedules against larger class teams have nothing to do with people's arguments, it's about the playoffs when every team you play is a 3A school with 3A enrollment.

I agree that people should just drop it, it's already decided and no changes can be made. But to have the attitude of "We're here. Sucks for them but not for us so they should just shut up" is a horrible way to approach it.

Had the KHSAA stuck to the original draft and you had to travel to Shelby County for district games, and had to play Lou. Trinity in the playoffs I am sure you would be singing another tune right now and it would involve how unfair it is because of Trinity's numbers.

Yes I can see why people are upset, but people are upset about a lot of things that don't get the time spent that people have spent bashing Harlan County for something that was totally out of our control. The complete and total ignorance of some statements hurt my head. I have been told by two people on here that LCC started in 3A so I'm guessing the OLD 4 class system was equivalent to them being a 3A. YES I think people should just drop it. Nothing can be done about it, but a bunch of us getting into forums wars! The KHSAA has nothing to do with us not being in 6A the school didn't get the enrollment to compete at that level. Although had we been put there you can bet your bottom dollar this Black Bear wouldn't have complained about it!!! This community is so excited about the new school and football team we are just happy to be playing. I'm sure Harlan County wouldn't turn down playing Trinity or St. X or anyone else, I hate to sound cliché but to be the best you have to play the best. We are traveling to Grayson County VA to play a game just to have a game and I understand that Grayson is a good team in VA and about 4 hours away from Harlan County so traveling has nothing to do with it. My personal feeling is that the people that complain about this are the same ones that go to a coach and complain that little Johnny isn't playing enough and ride the coach about his decisions. They are kids playing a sport, no matter how many kids are on the sideline Harlan County is still has the same amount on the field as the other team! To me it's like saying we don't want to play someone that is good. What kind of lesson does that teach? I say we just agree to disagree. I am also an EKU alum so I guess we have something in common
