Patriot,
I agree with you for sure. Over here in Letcher County the old Whitesburg Middle School had double the enrollment and double the athletes compared to our other county schools but they had to keep playing that weak shedule and it showed when those kids moved on to high school. However, they had to keep playing them and that was 8 games of their schedule and that only left 3 games to play with. It's been better the last couple of years because we had dropped to three teams, East and West Letcher and Whitesburg. It wasn't perfect but better, this allowed Whitesburg and East Letcher to join the Big Sandy Conference and both teams did really well last year with Whitesburg winning 12 games and East Letcher winning 8 games. Now this year it has been our good fortune and a little luck rolled in and we have one team. Everyone in the county is now saying that this should have happened a long time ago. It has allowed them to schedule Perry Co. Hazard, Johnson Cent. Belfry, Martin Co. Shelby Valley, Clark Co. NEW HARLAN, Pikeville, East Ridge and Breathitt Co. AS you can tell this is a phenominal schedule and right now they are 3-1 and the one loss has probably taught them more than any other lesson they have learned this year, and yes your right to be the best you have to beat the best just like the old wrestler Rick Flair said.
