You are right! Bet you weren't expecting that response!! But...one thing I will point out Whitley & North both have their strengths & weaknesses. There are things about both those teams that could be tweaked that could be the difference in their being good & great. North can not defend on a pass - they are only fair at best on the run against a good team. Whitley's defense isn't where it needs to be at all. North does not utilize their talent at skill positions at all, and that hurts the team. Running the same plays over & over against good teams - you eventually hit teams that know how to scout you properly & they can put a stop to same old same old. That applies more to North than Whitley. About their schedule...think about it when KHSAA moved them this year they had teams they had to play...with other games out of the district already locked in. Who knew these teams were so down this year???

First, I couldn't agree more with what you said. Good response.

As for the bolded, North petitioned to move districts. The KHSAA had them in district 7 again and they asked to move to district 8 so both district could have 5 teams, which is fine in theory. But one wonders if it was done because of the difference in competition of both districts. North went from almost having a 10-0 regular season, to maybe going on the road in the playoffs this week had they stayed in that district. Either way, its fine that's not what matters.
Its the out of district competition that hurt them evolve there game and pressure them into throwing the ball.
