bandwagon to hate on cordia? I'm thinking so. I'm not a cordia fan, nor perry, hazard, or knott for that matter. I don't diss on young boys for wanting to play basketball. I didn't see JBS folks making a deal when knott took over half their talent and went to state on it, I didn't see Bell Co. make a big deal when hazard got Josh Whitaker and went to state several times with him and the talent on that team. So why diss on these young boys for wanting the same ambitions? Rhodes is a good man and a good coach. It's like everybody can say what they want about Cordia, but when people from that community try to defend their school, their on a bandwagon? You people need to have some class.

I'm not trying to get back into this pointless fight but I want to comment on some of your statements...

JBS didn't care anymore because Clark Stepp was gone, and the school just quit basketball after he left....

Bell County caused Josh Whitaker to leave, if they cared they wouldn't have ran his dad off... Hazard didn't go get Whitaker, Bell County ran them off... Coach Eddie Whitaker (dad) wanted the Perry job at first...

Rhodes does seem like a GREAT guy I mean he's working his kids hard and I respect that.. Kids in the gym is a lot better then kids of the streets being crazy.... But it's just hard for people from Hazard, Perry, and Knott to sit back and listen to someone say that a team is moving in on them at the top. Those 3 schools have been on the top of this region FOREVER, Hazard and Perry will always be on the top and Knott goes on these runs about every 5 years. It's just hard to believe that a new coach is going to come into Cordia and change that much in 1 year when there are coaches in this region who are legends....
