Scott Co plays the state's toughest schedule every year.

Of course they played the toughest schedule in the state, but darn you dont have to point it out. they get mad respect from everyone around the state. "Quit tooting your own horn" as most people would say.

I thought BGP was created for 2 reasons

1. Horn Tooting of your own team

2. Venting on topics that are under your skin

 

A Lex. Catholic fan on another thread made the statement that they had played the toughest schedule in the state. I had a different opinion so I started this thread. Plus I wanted to see who else has played tough schedules. I know my Cards get respect from most - I'm actually harder on them than most of the posters on this board - but I do give them props when they deserve it - and their schedudle deserves it.

I live 100 miles away from Scott Co. I am not a SC alumni. So I wouldn't call it tooting my own horn because I agree they play the toughest schedule every year.

Henry Clay has played S.C Twice, B.S Twice, T.C. (3), Lafayette Twice, Trinity, Mason, Simon Kenton, Brossart, Paintsville, Allen Co. Scottsville, Brentwood, I think that is a pretty tough schedule

Scott County's schedule hands down....maybe even a little too tough down the stretch
