I've been reading through this and I just have one question. If Paintsville and Johnson Central don't even play each other in football then why does it matter if a kid transfers to either school? It's not like the player who left will be used against the school he transferred from. In Eastern Kentucky kids go to school out of district within their county all the time and it only becomes an issue if the kid is a student athlete. Both schools are literally just a couple of miles away from each other so it's not like a kid who transfers to either school is going really far out of the way to get to school. I understand that they are separate districts but why shouldn't a kid be allowed to go to the school that a good fit for him/her to have a positive high school experience? Johnson County is relatively small and it just doesn't make sense why the two schools can't support each other for having good programs that kids want to go to.

I am a JCHS fan but the truth is Coach Matney made his bed and now he has to lay in it! IMO the Allen kid should have started day one in the JCHS backfield! Matney made JJ Jude into star he set rushing records but the results of those records are talented players are expecting the "JJ Jude" treatment now! IMO the Belcher kid was ever bit as talented as Jude but if you check the stats the number of carries that kid got was way less. The Allen kid has more football talent than either Jude or Belcher but he never got to start in the JC backfield until late last season. Some JCHS fans will disagree with this but they are not being honest with themselves! They're forgetting the Woodford Co game JC was up 42-7 at halftime and Jude had over 300 yards rushing and Matney elected to break a state record in the second half!
Are you serious !?!?!

Hummmm... Maybe it's because the kid has to wait to be cleared to practice??? But of course we try to put down children on here instead of realize "children" have to do what their parents make them do.

Paintsville's spring practice isn't until the first of May.

I'm not sure what, if any, drama is behind this discussion; however, I will NOT tolerate putting down children.
eaglemomma, please PM me the number of the post that puts down children, and I promise you I will investigate it.

Still might be a question mark on Tyler Couch. Just because his mom is still listed pretty high on the Lex Cath parents booster list.

Well said. As long as things are done the legal way, through the right channels, and the kid maintains a good GPA, it shouldnt matter where a kid goes to school. Be it one and done as a senior, or coming over in Jr High. Too much is "percieved" on these sites. Im guilty of it myself, but I am trying to maintain a more positive outlook on this subject.

The kid from Lex Cath jumping ship and heading to a smaller school doesnt suprise me. You may very well see more Lex Cath kids leaving after some of the things that have been going on there.

With all do respect to your comment and of course you are entitle to your opinion... But let me just say thing, YOU HAVE NO IDEA what is going on at Lex Cath. NO ONE IS JUMPING SHIP! Let me guarantee you that. As far as Tyler Couch that he might be leaving, that is because daddy Joey is from, lives and has family out in Paintsville. Mommy Marsha still lives in Lexington. As far as going to a smaller school, LC only has 700 plus student body so how much smaller can you get? And if Tyler does decide to transfer out, good luck to him. He is coming off shoulder surgery this spring, only played freshman and JV last season. He might do well in his junior/ senior season :1:

I guess "jumping ship" may have been a bit harsh. Just know that there have been some significant issues within the program. Now, at a program like that, I would venture to say thise issues have been delt with in the correct manner. But, i stand by the statement that it wouldnt suprise me to see them lose a few kids over it. I have often wondered though, when we might see the Couch name back in EKY.

Over 700 student body ? Paintsville less than 250 grades 7-12, that's how you smaller you can get :igiveup:

Sorry to say, but that theory of " Jumping Ship " has gone and sailed away
irateSho. Lex Cath did not have anyone leave the program, including T. Couch. In fact a few transferred in to join the program.... The only student/ athletes that jumped ship were the alleged victim and perpetrator on that ugly situation.

I think with South Warren on the rise, more kids will look into the cross county move to Paintsville... Especially since Pikeville proved it can be won.

NOT SURE WHAT US BEEN SMOKING OR JUST NOT UP TO DATE. But South Warren moves to 5 AAAAA in 2017 due to they are already bigger than some 5 AAAAA schools.

Out of those returning players, 7 starters on defense and 6 on offense. The big question mark will be replacing the 3 offensive linemen we lost to graduation.

IMO, the biggest question mark will be at QB
