No disrespect to anyone, but Estill's leading the state in rushing is a smoke and mirrors fascade. I would bet that almost any decent rushing team would lead the state in rushing categories against the likes of:

Pineville
Bourbon County
Powell County
Berea
Phelps
Cawood (twice)
Magoffin County
Knott County Central (twice)
Fleming Co.

They are a whopping 30-65, and are not close to being any type of powerhouses.

And, I went back and checked the Russell website, which has the stats from 2006 Estill Co game. Russell won 41-8, and gave up 152 yards rushing on 45 carries (3.37 yards per carry) and no passing yards.

Good post !

Estill's stats are deceiving but that's how you build a program. You get a program and it's players used to winning and before long they'll get over the hump against the traditional powerhouses. Then before you know it they're serious contenders.

Because then they believe they can win against anyone.
