You can say all you want to. All Knox Central had to do was take care of business. Rock and Knox both controlled their destiny. If Rock beat Knox they controlled, they lost. Knox just had to beat Russell County, a team Rock had already beaten, Knox couldn't get the job done. By having a weak schedule and not taking care of business, they lost their chance to win district.

Rock assumed some of their teams would have been better that they scheduled (Sheldon Clark disappointing, etc...) but according to wins and losses, they had the better schedule of the 3 teams.

What I always say about winning races, divisions, districts, etc... take care of business and do not leave your destiny in someone elses hands. There is a reason 80% of people picked Russell County to win this district, they showed flashes of it. They played great games against Boyle County and Rockcastle, and played terrible games against Russell County and West Jessamine. Coach Russell had a better season that I predicted he would, I am glad he proved me wrong, so far.

Knox Central has nobody to blame except themselves for not winning the district.

highschoolfan, why are you using term or some of the other ppl using the term "weak opponents" to us, ROCK only had 5 losing teams on the schedule out of 12 games, the saying goes "those who live in glass houses should not throw stones" b\c Boyle played the exact same amount of losing teams on their schedule of 5. Practice what you preach please!!!!...the fact is the fact, Boyle won and ROCK had a great season overcoming 2 consecutive losing records into rebuild mode, you cannot assume ROCK won 9 games b\c of "weak scheduling"....thats strongly not true, these kids worked their tails off from the winter off season of 2010 to make this season special. One person cannot make a team, everyone makes a team along with staff. I appreciate it if some would be more mannerable about ROCK's turnaround season.
