Spare us the racist comments.
Simple talk, real talk.

It makes a slight difference and significantly helps out inner city teams.
Highlands probabaly got scared from doing it when they brought Mitchell in from Cov Cath nicker: That worked out well.

It's not the lack of African American athletes that hurts the eastern Ky. schools. It's the offense systems they run and the type of off season workouts they conduct in order to run those systems. If you watch enough of the eastern Ky schools, it's readily apparent that more time is spent on increasing strength than is spent on improving speed and quickness. They have big, strong linemen and Lbers. But they are too slow to play in space and can't maintain blocks long enough. Big and strong works fine when playing other similarly oriented schools but fails when faced with teams that have quickness and speed. And it's not just African American athletes that have speed and quickness. See Highlands.

Sorry if I've offended, but that's how I see it.
