Come on man, before you start blowing this thing up in to something that it's not, the only reason I believe an offer was made to Prestonsburg is because Coach Matney and Coach Derosset are related. If it makes you feel better Im sure Pikeville wouldn't have played either(they have been offered before in the past and declined). Belfry whipped Pikeville, JC whips Belfry on the road, on their senior night and also the night Haywood was announced the nation's best coach. Anyway, this is the only post I'm going to use to reference your comment or any other scheduling matters, just leave it up to the AD. That's what they get paid for.

k. An absurd amount of that had nothing to do with anything I said.

You said the two teams should play. Not that you understand why Prestonsburg was offered. I definitely did not disrespect Prestonsburg for declining to play. I could definitely see why they would not want to play that game. Pikeville will never be the school that was afraid of competition. You don't schedule Boyle County and Lexington Catholic while running from competition. But, it was apparent during those contests, that anything in addition to the Belfry game isn't needed right now. The program would need to improve a nice amount before opponents of that caliber were added to the schedule again. The Belfry game serves as a very good measuring stick on a year in and year out basis, IMO.

I think it could be very beneficial for Raceland to find a game like that. Is Johnson Central that game? Who knows? Like you said, it is mostly up to the coach and AD at each school.
