I said before that KCC had the coach and the talant to win, just not the support system to do so (feeder program....ect...) I will stick with my opinion that most of the talant in knott county is not on the football field, and as far as the county shrinking, the mining industry is hitting its stride again and the population is doing fine. Do not come at me with statements like "...get your story straight...." because it makes you sound really ignorant, which just feeds the stereotype of the people from Knott County. I lived there for six years and saw where the players came from and the money came from and went, and to saay that the football team gets their fair share is false IMO.

The people that run the athletics and academics in Knott county seem to talk as if they know how to change things, but where is the action? All I see is below average performance in both areas with the blame being put on the parents rather than on the teachers and Administration. If the children in Knott County have a chance to grow up in a winning athletic program and more importantly good academic schools, there needs to be more action and less talk. There needs to be more accountability by the staff and less placing blame on parents. I do know that parents are a very important part in the educational process, but many parents are not mentally equipped to help their kids at home, or just do not have the time. I may sound like I am concerned about things in Knott County, and I am because I have two children that have to grow up there. I really want more than mediocrity for and from them.
