You have to give JC players credit they had a good season . But reality is the teams from NKY, Louisville, Western KY and the Richmond area are better players . Like I said all season long JC schedule was very weak . Don't give me that they cant find any other teams to play . There are a lot of teams from Western KY, Louisville, NKY, that will play JC .I watched CC last year play JC at home and CC was a lot better up front both sides. I noticed they play a lot of underclassman to. So that we are young up front goes both ways they are young to on the other side of the ball. Bottom line is play a tougher schedule and it will help . The Playoffs are coming . The truth hurts . Different bred of players from NKY,Louisville, Western KY, Richmond Area .

The only teams from NKY who have beaten JC in recent seasons have been Highlands and Covington Catholic and JC has split 6 games with the Colonels. Who else besides Highlands has won 50% or more of their games against CovCath over the past 6 years? Nobody.

As for WKY and the "Richmond Area," you have no clue what you are talking about. It is a 6 hour drive by car from Paintsville to Mayfield or Paducah. If you consider Bowling Green as WKY, then it is about a 4-1/2 hr. trip by car. Add some time for a bus load of high school players.

Nobody with any sense is saying that JC cannot find teams that are not afraid to play them. There are valid financial reasons why strong teams from other areas are often unwilling to commit to coming to Paintsville to play a game. JC needs them worse than they need JC.
