You seem very knowledgeable on the in's and out's of scheduling. I know that Coach Lucas reached out to Rock to play when the new contracts were issued prior to last season. A regional repeat and a state finals appearance made it tough for Somerset to schedule, I'm sure Rock understands that. Somerset picked up Hazard, Glasgow (two teams that were in the state finals and one who won 1a), Breathitt County, Whitley, Both the Jessamines in a bowl game (East 1 year and West the other), along with Perry Central at the back end of a district that includes Danville, Middlesboro, and LCA. Somerset is not out classed by anyone, nor are they afraid to schedule the big boys... As seen by the schedule they put together. I'm sure that if both schools reached out to each other (and they apparently did) that an open date could not be found to fit each others needs. To downgrade Somerset based on school size is an asinine, as they regularly compete with schools outside of their class and have for years.

I completely agree with this. This is exactly what I said. "So, either Somerset couldn't work Rock into the schedule....or wouldn't...."at that time. That is why Rockcastle had to travel so far to get games this past season. West80 was the one that said why won't Rockcastle pick up better teams to beef up their schedule like Somerset and Corbin. I explained that the Rock coach went all over locally trying to schedule games. I have all the respect in the world for Somerset's football team. I had a cousin play on Somerset's team last year. Someone else said something about class and it was taken wrongly. I said that I thought they meant that Somerset was 2A and Rockcastle was 4A. That West80 dude just starts stuff...like this...and it gets blown out of proportion. That's why I accuse him of being a troll. My apologies in the mixup JP1...I don't think the teams could get together on dates or something...the same thing with Southwestern I'm pretty sure happened.
