I really wonder why I even post on these things sometimes, lol. Debating on a web site over things that really don't matter, and that nobody really cares what we all think anyways, can become rather useless. I will agree to disagree with you hitemup on this matter. I will, however, like to ask you to not take cheap shots at two great people- Coach Vicini and Coach Reynolds. There's no debate, the non-district schedule at 1A Cumberland was very weak at times to say the least, and probably did hurt them playoff time (even though Coach Reynolds won the first playoff game by a Harlan County team since Evarts in the 90's when the Skins won a 1st rounder in '07). 1A is a different breed, and I'm not making excuses whatsoever. But when you have 20-30 kids on the entire roster and almost all going both ways, health becomes an issue. You want to be healthy going into the distict schedule. CHS's non-district schedule had easier games such Thomas Walker, Jenkins, etc. (no offense to those teams), but also had Somerset, Cawood, Pike Central at various times during those coaches' tenures.

I am sorry if that was taken as a cheap shot. It was not intended to be that way. I was using there names for clarification purposes only because I could not remember the exact years that they were there. I like both Coaches and respect what both of them have done for kids over the years. And I will leave it at that.

I understand that most people will probably not agree with my opinion and that is fine. The only thing that I was trying to say is that I would enjoy watching HC play better teams rather than pounding on lesser opponents. That may be selfish on my part. Coach Larkey clearly knows more than I do and if he thinks that is what is necessary then so be it.

I did not think that I would create a stir by asking for them to play better teams for my enjoyment and their improvement.
