I sincerely understand where you are coming from Mr. Perfect. I think it's clear that you are bitter. It really isn't right, but it is what it is. If the shoe was on the other foot, I'm sure that we in Harlan CO. would be singing the same song you are. I don't know what to tell ya. In my opinion, I don't think NOT PLAYING is the route to take. I think that sometimes you just gotta suit up and let the chips fall where they may. 3A vs 5A isn't that big of a mismatch IMO.

I hope you are correct that we win every game we play. I'm hopeful, but I think there's a lot of hard work ahead of us. Rest assured, those boys are working hard right now. They know they have alot of expectations placed on them.

I still believe that regardless, this year will be a springboard for our future. I think we will be very competitve in our district next year.
Clay, Letcher County Central, North Laurel, Perry County Central, and Whitley County..... I guess we will have a better clue about all of it in August whenever we make the trip across Whitesburg Mountain and play LCC in our very first football game.

HCHS had at least two 1A schools back out on them this year. Hazard and Harlan Independent. I absolutely can understand that. I did find it rather odd that Harlan Independent IS STILL playing Perry County Central and Clay County, two 5A schools that will be in HCHS' district next year.......hmm.
