phs1986 Wrote:The thing of it is one, it's hard to get the boys to come out and play when they know it's going to be a joke... The ref's are from WV, and WV goes waaayyyyy out in the state and gets kids to play. KY can't get any kids from Lexington, Louisville, etc. Second, it's always, and I mean always held at Matewan. From what I've been told, this is Coach Kinder's brain pop, therefore, he holds it (hosts it) each and every year. Attendance was down last year from years past that I saw. The only reason I went was to watch a child play that I consider one of my own. If not for him, I wouldn't have went!
I do think this needs to be rotated each year to keep interest in the game. It would bring a nice crowd back, I believe by flip-flopping it. NOT saying that it should just be held at Belfry but heck, find a couple of nice fields in KY and host it one year in Matewan, one year in Belfry. Next year back at Matewan, and then to another field..... IMHO, this is becoming a joke to the kids who are asked to play in it especially the ones from KY. I know there have been a lot of talent playing on both sides but no where near the area to choose from in KY. We have the area, just not allowed to use it! LOL.....
Tell me HOW FAR WV goes out in the state to get players????? That's just it they don't. They get kids from Wayne,Mingo, Logan and sometimes Wyoming County. Kentucky gets kids from Pike ,Martin,Johnson and Floyd Counties that I know of maybe somewhere else. So how is it unfair for the Kentucky squad? As far as attendance last year it wasn't down at all.When the K-Bowl went flop this game set idle for years. Matewan decide to take it and make it there annual football fund raiser. Everybody had the chance to get it restarted but know one did. Why rotate it? If Belfry had started this game do you think they would want to rotate it with anybody else? NO! Everyone should come and support the kids from their schools and enjoy the game.
