I also respect your opinion as you have some good points. I'm sure other places have the same problems but I think the point you are missing is during the season our Floyd County teams only dress 20-24 kids for a 7/8th grade game. We do have four middle schools but they are all very small and all except one are in elementary school buildings so not even a true middle school. Three of the four high schools are single A schools and the other is a AA school.

I know each of our middle school coaches and all would love to take their kids and compete at UK however our travel in not up to the coaches it is the school admin that makes the call on travel and we are required to take a bus. You have one middle school and what is the enrollment? I bet it is close to twice as big as our largest. Why are our coaches coaching? To teach kids the game of football and prepare them for high school. Two of our coaches are in their second season as coaches and one was just hired in the past two weeks. I do not think any of our coaches are the type to play only where they can win.

The Brookeshire will have better rates. And where are all the Central, Northern, and Western KY teams comitting to Pburgs 7 on 7? No one wants to travel to Eastern KY for 7 on 7. Probrably due to travel expenses.

I do not think anyone is on hear saying that we are the best football teams in the state. Everyone was just talking about what a great day of football we had and as you said I don't expect you to understand about what has happened around here, but Floyd County was at on time down to only one competitive football team but because some good coaches and volunteers have taken over they are starting to turn things around and to have all of our teams being competitive Saturday has excited a lot of our local fans and coaches as well. A lot of hard work has gone into building the programs and work still needs to be done but there are several individuals giving their all to building quality teams. Our teams have come a long way in a short time.

This board does have a lot of Eastern Kentuckians partly because it was started by an Eastern KY guy.
