[Down and Out]

Thanks Jammin's Jamey for yor post saying nothing would be said if Phelps had been playing Painstville in the finals. Regardless of class it was a great game between two good teams . The Class A numbers are alot different from the KHSAA so people need to realize that. SC is AAA in football which makes no sense but that is how it goes. The economy in Martin County has been hit hard the last few years with alot of jobs being lost due to several coal mines closing and that has effected the schools district enrollement numbers year to year and having spoken with people in the central office the county has lost anywhere from 20 to 50 kids a year for the past few years because have had to leave to find work. The same could be said about Prestonsburg and Shelby Valley since they play 2A in football and A in basketball. It was great tournament to attend and Kevin Garris and his people did a great job in serving as hosts but before jumping on Sheldon Clark about playing Class A come visit the county and see for yourself but lets not lose focus here it was a great championship game and would make a worthy regional championshop game come March.
