Seger, you're just obviously out of touch with the plight of small schools. Bill Powell, who is in the KHSBCA Hall of Fame mind you and won over 600 games, left nothing on the table. You simply can't will a town into making great athletes. What he had the ability to do was to make an average athlete, an above average baseball player. He was fortunate to get some good athletes come through and was able to take a class A school to the Final Four a few times. There was absolutely nothing more that he could have done. Your comment about just having to work hard is just wrong. Now, with the population of Middlesboro rapidly declining, the little league is a shadow of what it once was. Is John Smith supposed to birth two studs himself? If producing pitching studs was so easy, don't you think every team would have them?

The fact that you're comparing small schools winning a title in basketball and baseball shows me that you don't fully grasp the depth that it takes win a title in baseball in the first place.
