Why do you not see more white guys on the best 4x100 relay teams? Why are the best college football teams dominated by black kids in the skill positions?

Let me ask you this, how many places in KY have you lived? Or better yet (assuming here from your post), have you ever lived out of the EKY area? Just an honest question.

As far as Highlands goes, like it or not, they don't have many kids on their team who come from down on the farm or back in the holler and have parents/relatives who haven't ever picked up a ball, let a lone a football.

There isn't an offseason work out regime in the world that can turn thick ankles into skinny ones. Sorry.

Track speed is completely different than football speed;very few college football players could be top college sprinters. If you have 5 guys on a HS football fiield who can run a 4.4 to 4.6, you have more speed than most teams,Highlands very often does have that many kids or more on the field (this is not what I would call fast track speed,but is very very good for football). Too many people think you need to have 4.3 speed to be good. When Collinsworth was at HHS he had 4.5 to 4.6 speed but was one of the best RB's I have seen go through HHS.

Just because the are from the "holler" does not mean they can't be just as good of athlete. If they started playing young like HHS kids do then they too might be state champions, it takes a lot of work and dedication.

I think you might be doing the wrong workouts,because I have seen some kids from HHS turn from out of shape chubby kids as freshmen to very cut kids JR and SR year. And Charlie is from NKY not EKY.
