With the exception of Johnson Central and Corbin, Clay County has won more than the vast majority of teams in their region the past couple years. It looks like Clay turned the corner around 2019 when they went 7-4 and since that time Wayne Co. has won 18 games, Letcher Co. 17 and Clay Co. with 16.

Clay County has won more games than Lincoln, Knox, Harlan Co. and Perry. It’s hard to argue that Clay hasn’t put a consistent and competitive team on the field recently. Hopefully they can keep it going and improving.

Who have they beaten? In the past few years Clay has become one of the best scheduling teams around. Magoffin,  Pike, Lynn Camp to name a few. This year is the same and they still are looking at 4-5 wins. Contracts are up this year. With Clay's reputation they'll probably have more like these step into that role. He's good at scheduling.

Most of those teams appear to be nearly identical in terms of size and population with Clay County, why not schedule? It wasn’t a long time ago that Clay was getting mercy ruled by very, very bad football teams on a weekly basis.

On the flip side, should Clay County be scheduling to not win at least 4 or more? I don’t see how that would build a football program, especially one that’s struggled over the years.
