I am trying to say, the best can play the best in any class. It is not even in 3A if we want to get into that. Estill and Powell usually field around 30-35 kids. Last year, Breathitt fielded 36 and Fleming probably had the most out of the whole district, not sure. I don't know how many Russell fields but Belfry usually runs around 80. My point, it doesn't matter how many are in the school if they don't play. So in that case, you must take your best 11-14 football players, get them in the best shape possible, mentally tough, physically tough and play the game. Hopefully some of the other kids will come along throughout the season and help as well. Breathitt was a good example of that last year, IMO.

Ok man, let me put this out there. The deal is that it's not your best 11 vs 11. It's your best 11 vs 22 and if you count special teams it's your best 11 vs your best 44.
5A Schools have the ability to go deep in their bench. I had a 4A coach tell me the other day that he could go 2 deep at any position right now and not have any drop off. That makes a difference. Numbers.
