The thing about this so called golden triangle.
Since 2004, 17of the 22 state titles have been from Louisville, Lexington or Cov/Newport/Erlanger area.

Russell won one
Belfry won one
Bell won one
Fort Campell won two.

Thats it, so its pretty simple to see the best football is played in Central KY.

Mr. Football is an AP award. The votes are givin by the Newspapers. It has nothing to do with where youre from, Of course a mainstram player in Louisville has the benifit of a large media feed, but so do players from Hazard, Lex, Ashland, Covington, Bowling Green....the funny thing is there papers still voted for Duece Finch this year, because the vote was unanimous.

Mr Football Canidates in order on talent alone next year.

There's alot of great teams in Central Ky. But you have to look at the bigger picture. Jefferson county has a population of about 710,000 people while say Pike county has a population of about 66,000 people. Central Ky. has alot larger pool of boys to pick from compared to mountain teams. It is simple, numbers mean alot. The traditional powerhouse schools draw more attention and better athletes, were kids have a greater choice of where to attend school. Continuing there success. When mountain schools play with and compete with larger city schools, that is success in its own right.
