The old Bell County High School had football forever. I didn't think they had ever made the playoffs.
Lone Jack had football for several years.

Harlan County's football tradition of success goes back to the 1950s when Lynch started winning state championships.
Cumberland won numerous district titles and, I think, four regional titles and finished as state runner-up three times.
Evarts won four district titles and a regional championship in 1990.
Cawood won four district title and a regional championship in 1975.

Harlan County doesn't have to wish they were like anybody. They have a long tradition of football success that doesn't just go back to the 1990s.
