You sound like you have been there done that! You can teach anywhere that is for sure. I know some programs who practice in their gyms! I still think Dunbar has top notch facilities and a top notch program. They have athletes year in and year out. I hope they get it together.
I think people will be suprised by this game. I think Danville has an edge just because so many GRC players are out. It should go right down to the wire. Danville by 3.
From the rakings out today from Cantrall, Franklin Co. is ranked higher than Boyle. North Bullit is ranked slightly lower than Boyle. Lafayette has beaten both of these excellent teams. I wouldn't exactly say they played a cupcake schedule.
Like I said, these are small independent school districts. There are probably 4 or five in the county. Combine these and WOW! These schools might equal a 1 A in KY. One of the above posts stated they had a little over 200 in 9 10 and 11th grades. Don't you count 12th? Like you said before, I haven't looked at the website. I am just going with first hand experience. I will look into it...obviously.
I am from that area. It is that small. Usually those high schools in that small area...Chesapeake, Fairland, South Point, Coal Grove all have really small independent districts. Usually around 100 per class maybe a little more. Ironton is and always has been bigger.
There are other schools in town facing the same thing and they still produce. Dunbar is very lucky in their facilities. There are other teams that battle for field time with soccer etc. without any practice field. Just ask Lafayette...I'm sure they would have something to add to this. Was this a problem in the previous years? Dunbar has always been a top notch program and I think they still are. However, they need to adapt and overcome.
But they SHOULD have a passing game. There are tons of schools who would love to have the athletes and facilities that Dunbar has. This school has loads of talent. If they get it together they will be a force to be reckoned with.
What a good win for St. X. LexCath now knows what they need to work on. With the mistakes made, it is obvious that St. X had gotten into LexCath's head. Good luck to both teams this season.
