[A Decent Lineman]

Yes I'm from the mountains. I'm just saying that they don't have the athletes to compete with the better teams in class A from around the state. The majority of the mountain kids work ethic and natural born talent left with the coal boom. Families move elsewhere to find jobs. That's life. Yes you still have some talented kids but they are far more spread out than kids from the greater Cincinnati area, Lexington, Louisville, Bowling Green, and Paducah.

Your right but the other powerhouse teams I mentioned, LCA, Mayfield, Beechwood, and Raceland. All of these teams are from these areas. There really arent any 1a schools left in these areas like Cincinnati, Lexington, and Lousiville. Beechwood, and LCA are about it from big cities because of the resizing of schools. Newport Central is gone, Danville is gone....who is left but Hazard, Pikeville, LCA, Beechwood, Mayfield, maybe Paintsville and Raceland that make playoffs year in and year out...IMO these will be the teams to beat next year.
