There are over 350 schools that play football in Tennessee and West is ranked a measley 29th. That sounds pretty legit but if we win they are terrible and if we lose we arent that good so we lose either way. I saw them play last season before our game for about 45 minutes and they looked pretty good to an old country boy.
Ive talked to a bunch of people and the Tates Creek game was not selected by HC, we could have been just as easily playing Lexington school because it was selected by the bowl committe.
For anyone questioning why we would play Corbin is crazy because unless Corbin wants to act like they arent relevant then they have been a premier team in the mountains for decades regardless of class, just like others in in the area know. Ive heard they wouldnt do a home and home but only wanted us to play in the bowl.
Also it takes us almost 2 hours to get to a major highway, TN, VA are a whole lot closer. Fuel cost is crazy.

You're living the past about Corbin. The Hounds have not won a state title since 1982. They've played for only 2 state titles since then. 1982 was 30 years ago. They haven't really been relevant in their region but a couple of times in the last 10 years. I know that will offend some but the records don't lie.

Harlan County has something special right now and I think if they could play at least one 5A or 6A contender it would only help prepare them for the tough playoff games ahead. Playing Corbin won't do that.
