I would say that you posters are right in saying that Louisville, Lexington and others in the metropolitan areas have better overall teams year in and year out. When you have a pool of a couple of thousand of students to draw from in the metro schools compared to a few hundred in the rural schools then you should be better year in and year out. With that said then the teams in Eastern Kentucky when matched up with schools of their enrollment size do extremely well. We have a limited number of schools in the mountains with enrollments over 700 yet our coaches manage to field decent teams year in and year out and with smaller, mediocre ( in your eyes) players still manage to go back to Loiusville to play in the Championships. I know that some of the private and parochial schools may not have the big numbers that the large metro schools have but they can get the types of ball players they need normally from being traditional winners that any decent ball player would want to play for. I have seen Breathitt County play schools such as Bryan Station, Tates Creek and Henry Clay and defeat them over the past years. That tells me that our coach can take smaller on the average players and build them into the finest football teams pound for pound of any in the State.
