I went to the Williamsburg - Hazard game it was as hyped as any in the state a couple weeks back and the seats were about 30% filled.

I'm just going on my own personal observations.


You're right the smaller venues offers a much better atmosphere....

I believe that was the GOTW, wasn't it? Same night Harlan County played Pulaski at home. If you wanted to see a crowd, you should've stopped by Coal Miners Memoral Stadium that night!!!nicker:

Golden triangle, huh? Well if you want some kind of hype like this to generate interest, you could play off of coal in the eastern Kentucky area and do something like...Diamond (something or other). You'll have to get PR to help you here; I've never been very creative.

I personally think the hard work of the coaches, their staff and the kids of eastern Kentucky is what's generating the interest that we are currently enjoying on Friday nights. And the trash talking on the football threads from Bell County to Pike County and back to Pulsaski County (THAT makes a good triangle!!) and includes a lot of mountain schools....that is what's demanding an increase of bandwidth. Appears to me that interest in football at the HS level is healthy; at least it is in my immediate area.
