What are some of the biggest rivalries in EKY?
I'll start by saying that Russell and Ashland have and will always be big rivals. Both schools always field competetive teams, and are only 5 mins away from eachother, both of these schools have a lot of history and prestige in football.

Johnson Central and Paintsville

P-burg and Belfry

[MyNaMeSbUrChEtT]

JC and Paintsville, apple bowl big rivalry every year, last year thousands of ppl came

[Tomcat68]

Not EKY only, but Ashland and Ironton. I can't remember the last time the attendence was under 5000 at either stadium. By far the biggest money making game for both teams each year.

[Eagle Football]

the attendance or the apple bowl was around 8 or 9 thousand last year....it was crazy!!!

[LeeCoBobcatfan]

Owsley and Lee Co. Though until this year it had pretty much been a pretty lopsided competition with Owsley almost always beating the Bobcats.

[PHSFAN]

Honest question...Do Lee and Owsley County have football teams?

[Tomcat68]

Honest question...Do Lee and Owsley County have football teams?

No, they are 2 of the 28 public high schools who do not have football teams.

[JCRunningMachine#17]

JC and Paintsville is the biggest rivalry in EKY, the game gets **** personal. It's not just about winning.

prstonsburg blefry
there's nothing like playing infront of 7 or 8 thousand people, especially when over half of them is cussing at you! lol haha

[PHSFAN]

I think Pikeville and Belfry used to be the biggest rivalry in EKY but I think since the Pirates dropped down to AA that Pburg and Belfry has become the biggest.

Make no mistake, Id say if you polled the Belfry fans they would say they would rather beat Pikeville with all things being equal IMHO.

[Smokey]

Bell-Rock
Belfry-Prestonsburg

PCs biggest rival would be SV...no doubt. But, neither of these teams are on Belfrys level so they havent become a major rivalry yet.
