Its not like HHS didnt play in almost every tournament Pikeville played in. The PIT(Pikeville), PIT(Paintsville), and at Boone Links in the Steve Flesch tourney. Hazard has been up against the same talent and competition as Pikeville.

But go look at Pikeville's schedule. We are talking some of the best tourneys in the state. The KIT, by far the BEST field in the state (probably even better than the state tourney itself) and at a VERY hard course. I know that Hazard plays in a couple, but Pikeville plays in 8-9 across before region against some tough competition on some hard courses. Maybe this helps them, maybe it hurts. It can give them an idea of different types of shots and weather conditions to play in, but then again it could hurt them because they get less time on the course where region will be held. Who knows which is better, Pikeville does it this way to try to force the kids to play the best they can against the stiff competition so they don't make fools of themselves, but it's just what they have done for a while. Is it better? I don't know.
