This is my whole reasoning for saying teams like Bell, Whitley, and Knox are REALLY down.
Teams like Wayne putting up a running clock on Bell is ridicolous. Wayne is good, and will maybe even challenge Central in the playoffs this year, but lets be honest, there not exactly the Ravens. There good, but the watered down 6 class sytem is giving them an easy shot, and while Im happy that Wayne is finally seeing good success, in the old 4 class system, I would expect them to just be an average team.
Football is down, especially in the eastern part of the state.

Also Wayne, Corbin, Central, Belfry and maybe Bell (Bell was a 3A team in the 4 class system) would be in 2A in the old four class system. How is the 6 class system giving them an easy shot? Who would come into 2A that would make it any different? Highlands-nope 3A, Boyle-nope 3A? 3A is one of the most competive classes this year. Whoever makes it out the the west in 3A will be battle tested. You have Corbin, Wayne, Central, PT, South Warren, Fort Campbell all in the top 8 of 3A.
