Youre really having trouble with the size thing. Compare apples to apples. Bracken county is the only 1a county school I can find with a winning record. Yes, Williamsburg has advantages over Bracken county.
You're also having trouble with the word advantage. Advantage is not the same as guarantee. Pineville isn't guaranteed to be better than Bracken at football. They just might have an easier time getting kids to play and practice. Its not a promise that they will be good. I don't know why Barbourville is in your post they dont have a team.

Nope, no trouble what so ever. You talk about guarantee's, well then, a winning record has nothing to do with it. A winning record isn't a guarantee either, so take all of them into account, since according to you they're all at a disadvantage. But we'll stay with your train of thought just for fun. Crittenden CO, winning record! Bracken Co., winning record! Lynn Camp, Phelps, Hazard, ALL HAVE WINNING RECORDS. Just because they don't have the word county behind them, doesn't mean they aren't county schools. They are, they are NOT independent. So, NO, wburg does not have an overall advantage over those schools. But since you are stuck on the "getting kids to play" I will say that would be the only advantage wburg has over any of those schools, and that's not even an advantage, because it doesn't guarantee anything.

But since "Im having trouble with the size thing" lets talk about it. This isn't about classifications, even though you want to go with it that way. County schools typically do have an overall advantage over independents because of SIZE. They get more money for their programs because of the number of kids attending that school. They do get more kids to choose from, adding talent and depth. So yeah it is a SIZE issue.

But your quote about Pineville in saying its easier for them to get to practice and play isn't a guarantee they'll be good, IS EXACTLY what I'm trying to get across to you, that Ind. schools are not at an advantage or county schools! IF they can just get kids to come to practice, but it doesn't guarantee success, then how is that an advantage? This is the only example that you have gave, so of course this is the only one I can really argue. You have still YET to provide any advantages that Independent schools have over County schools, other than they can get kids to practice easier because of the proximity or size of the district. Which you just said isn't a guarantee for success, so there is apparently no advantage to it. So, what are they? You've still not yet named any??

And the reason I put Bville in there is because they are an independent school. A school who cant even field a football team. But the COUNTY schools that surrounds them sure can. Lynn Camp, Knox central, etc. So all those kids who live real close to it that "have an easy time getting to practice" sure aint showing up?? Anyone would objectively say they are at a DISADVANTAGE compared to county schools overall.

But in the end, I can say the sky is pink, but if I don't provide any evidence to prove one way or another, I'm ultimately wrong. So please provide some evidence for your statement.
