All of you guys listen to what the Hopkinsville Tiger has to say about this issue. He hits the nail right on the head. Think about the mindset everyone has when privates play for the titles in different sports.
Tiger, how long has it been since a UHA player has received POY? I don't have any idea.
Mack? Swannagan? Moss? Victor? Barnes? Buckner? Cline?
How does Cline not get Coach of the year in his only 2 years at UHA, taking them to the sweet 16 & to the final 4 when they were not even considered favorites in the region. But takes over a Madisonville girls team, goes 10-16, and picks up the award in his first year there.
Is Terry the best player in the second region. Absoutely not. Does Terry play harder than Hopson 90% of the time. Absoutely. Now, throw in the fact that Hopson plays for a "successful" private school. There's your answer.
