Bye the way pikeville never told belfry they had a whole team of high school players on their team.
I've sat back and watched you post thread after thread about the same old excuses against Pikeville's Football team for long enough. IT STOPS HERE!
Let's get the facts out in the open....Shall We???? This is especially for you PIRATEFAN20 who is absolutely obsessed w/ the fact that Belfry could NOT beat Pikeville any of the 3 attempts this season.
Fact #1 2 yrs ago was the 1st yr holdbacks were ever allowed at Pikeville in ten years. If your child was above the 5th grade and held back, they were forced to sit out a year of sports. Result?? Ask Wes Pugh at Pike Central.
Fact #2 2 yrs ago when the rule was passed that Pville could indeed hold back and not lose that year of sports 3 of the 7th graders stayed back, Daric Pugh, A.J. Vanderbeck, and Cody Charles. So actually off of last years Jr. High roster, not 1 single 8th grader is back on this years team. Ryder Johnson may have been held back prior to 5th grade, i'm not sure, but he has been in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade in consecutive years. Tommy Webb, after his 6th grade year at SV, repeated 6th grade there. He then came back to Pville as a 7th grader and didn't even play football. So, there you have it.....all the skeletons are out of the closet....at most 5 kids, hardly a whole team.....Now TO THE GOOD STUFF.
Fact #3 We here at Pville usually have about 12-15 8th graders, where at Belfry, you consistently have 25-30.
Fact #4 We all know that you have at least 1 hold back of your own...whitey Gibb's son.
Most likely if you looked through your own roster, you'd see that you have a few more holdbacks of your own at some point between K-8.
Fact #5 2 yrs ago when Belfry Middle had an all star Jr. High team w/ holdbacks galore (Sani Warren etc.) and you beat us 3X's by an average score of 35 pts easily.....not 1 single Pikeville fan ran straight to BGR and complained or made excuses! If a kid is eligible to play according to KHSAA standards his senior year of high school, then that is a parent's choice. END OF STORY!
Fact #6 SV has a few holdbacks as well. Why didn't u complain about them = B/C u won??????????
Fact #7 Let's discuss the War of the Roses!!! 2 yrs ago, roses (black roses) were delivered to BMS b4 the first matchup of the year with the Panthers. We know this b/c every BMS player while shaking hands at the end of the game, made comments to each and every member of our coaching staff......thanking them for the special delivery. Also, about bad sportsmanship......LETS NOT FORGET THIS....after last years game at Belfry (at Vipperman Stadium) Coach Hensley's wife was hit with a rock that came flying on the field while standing next to her husband (no doubt meant for him) This rock came from a group of 1 of 3 adult men standing next to the fence, which was witnessed by Pville and Belfry fans alike. These men hightailed it outta there immediately afterwards. So you tell me, which is worse?????? 7th and 8th grade players throwing some roses on the 50 yrd line of Cam Field or 3 adult men, upset about some bad calls, getting mad enough to throw objects at a Coach or his wife???????
Fact #8 As for the Jenkins comment you were so quick to jump on....they played 9th graders. I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but after 8th grade, you continue onto 9th grade by choice...it is called HIGH SCHOOL. 2 or more of these boys are enrolled in JENKINS HIGH SCHOOL. A 9th grader could potentially be 16 yrs old and driving to a middle school game....whereas at most an 8th grader could be 15. Pikeville's coaching staff was NOT made aware that they would be playing a team that consisted of 8th and 9th graders. It would have been a non issue w/ anyone here at Pville had that detail, prior to playing the game, NOT been left out. They would have played, the outcome would have been the same...NO EXCUSES.
In conclusion, Mrs. PIRATEFAN20 (no man would ever complain this much) for the past 10-15 yrs, when our 12-15 8th graders (no holdbacks) have lined up against your 25-30 8th graders w/ at least 1 or more holdbacks, and you kicked our butts=NO EXCUSES! If it helps u sleep at night continue to use this excuse.....I can tell u for a FACT, we aren't going away. As a matter of fact, I guarantee we will be very competitive for years to come. We may not win them all, but games will always be competitive, which for us as a Single A school bodes very well. I will anxiously be awaiting your rebuttal (EXCUSE) and I won't even get into how many kids at Southside that play football who actually live in WV.
MORAL OF THIS STORY........WHEN U LIVE IN A GLASS HOUSE, I WOULD NOT THROW STONES!!!!!!
