Ok to say that they do not deserve to be as high as #6 is one thing but to say they do not play anyone is an uneducated statement. WYMT highlighted that they only have 2 key games being both Leslie County (defending District Champion who say time in Mountain Top 10 last season) and Harlan Ind. (a solid football team who contend with Hazard in their region). The guys at WYMT are very informed in this region because it is their job to be. However, they do not know TN state football. Both Onieda TN and Oliver Springs TN where among the top 8 schools in division 2A football in their state. They both had to play each other in the state quarterfinal where Oliver Springs won to go on to play the 2A State Champion Friendship Christian in the 2A state semifinal. So Oliver Springs could be compared to Somerset in our coverage area who made it to the 2A state KY semifinal game. Onieda could be compared to Lexington Christian who had as much success in the KY state playoff.

This is entirely based on variables and theory but if you take into consideration that the state of TN had 10 4-star or 5-star players according to Rivals last season compared to 1 4-star or 5-star player that KY produced you could make the argument that football in the state of TN is at a higher level. That would mean both Onieda and Oliver Springs could actually be better than both Somerset and Lexington Christian. I saw both those games last season they played Williamsburg and both those teams where as good if not better than Hazard. I know I will be chastised for this paragraph but it carries some weight.

Williamsburg also can not help the district that they play in. Lynn Camp, Berea, and Campbellsville are musts on the schedule. That leaves Jellico, Pineville, and Allen Central. They could could add a tougher game in one or two of these slots I agree. But remember 80% of the team was Fr. and So. when the schedule was made. We will see next season if they beef it up a little.
