Seems like all of JC recent success has made scheduling for them very difficult.

Success, school size, and geography all make for a challenging task.

Add in the ridiculous way the RPI is calculated into this as well. Teams are not going to sign up to play a game against a bigger class opponent that they have little to no chance of beating. It’s more beneficial to play a mid to low level 4-5A school that they know they can beat.

This is true. Also, top level schools in 5A and 6A (almost all of which are located near Bowling Green, Louisville, Northern Kentucky, and Lexington) can get games against quality teams much closer to home without having to make a huge road trip to Paintsville.

Looks like the out-of-state opponent Johnson Central is hosting on September 17 is Rock Creek Christian Academy from Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Calpreps calls it a 62-0 blowout for Johnson Central. Probably a worse opponent than Danville but if you can't get a contract returned you have to get who you can get.

On tangent, I have a lot of respect for Rock Creek Christian Academy for playing this game.
