Eagles roll in a district 7 matchup.

I believe that's 21 in a row for East Jessamine. There's basically no way to spin that in a positive way. They have the athletes and resources to be more competitive than that.

Been saying that for years, evidently just no interest in having a competitive football team.

Hands down the worst district in the state. 
East loves their coach.  They like him because kids don’t get into trouble.

Ever since Jessamine split into East and West the community has never gotten behind East Jessamine. It's been almost 30 years and I can't think of another school district that has such a severe disparity between two schools. Anyone "in the know" and who is being perfectly honest would confirm that East Middle and High is essentially a 2nd class school and that extends beyond football. The athletes are all over Nicholasville, not just the West side. The district level administration needs to start equally supporting both schools, and is there a more high profile program at any school other than the football team?

The district divides right down main st correct? East is more rural. West has tons of nice nigh neighborhoods. Fair amount of kids go to school in lex privates.

Not exactly right down Main St. The borders don't really make a ton of sense in my opinion. Also, the kids who are allowed to transfer within the district is wildly inconsistent (speaking with direct knowledge of a close family member). I'll let everyone guess which school is usually impacted positively.

East has some more rural areas and West has Wilmore (more affluent area), but the disparity isn't as drastic as athletic success, academic success, and community perspective would have everyone believe. 

Eventually, East has to determine if they are serious about their football program or not. They haven't won a game since early 2021. There are multiple up and coming head and assitant coaches in the area and region that would and could take the East Jessamine program to new levels. 

Eventually, leadership has to show that they are tired of being below average.
