The KHSAA had only two choices to make with this situation: play in current class or play games and not compete for the title. The super for Mercer County really caused all of the stir by moving the consolidation to where the above choices were all that could be done because of scheduling(he knew what he was doing). This is a widely held opinion all around the state and not just in Russell. This was a hot discussion topic at the finals among many coaches.

I said it at the begining of the season that the KHSAA should have allowed them to play games but not compete for a title. This would have caused quite a bit of turmoil as well but would have been the most fair and just solution. IMO the KHSAA should have had the backbone to resist the trap that was laid out by the Mercer Co super.
