The Apple Bowl: Paintsville and Johnson Central (A lost tradition)
Hoot Gibson Wrote:Paintsville has benefited from transfers more in the past than Johnson Central has. I have never claimed that it was the only factor in Paintsville's success against JC, only that it has been A factor.

With Matney coaching at Johnson Central, do you think the number of kids enrolling to play football at Paintsville has increased or decreased? Do you think that the number of kids attending JCMS who play football and then transfer to Paintsville to play high school football has increased or decreased? Do you think the number of disgruntled Johnson Central football players who have left the school to play for Paintsville has increased or decreased since Matney began coaching?

If you admit the obvious, which is Matney's hiring has resulted in more county kids playing in their home district, then you must also acknowledge that transfers have played some role in the Tigers' past success. At least admit that they have added some depth to some of Paintsville's teams.

The fact that JCMS has won more state championships in academic competition than any other middle school in the state has also played a roll in fewer kids paying tuition to play football for Paintsville. Paintsville used to have a big edge in academics, but that is no longer the case and that has helped Johnson Central's athletic programs.

:zzz: You are in dream land dude, just go back to sleep. Not much has changed since Matney took over at JC other than he has the numbers up and is blessed with alot of talent. And since you keep bringin up transfers and out of district players, lets talk about JC. I'm not gonna deny that Paintsville has had some ROLE players that transferred over, but what about JC and the STAR players they have had and still have who transferred in since Matney took over. Let's think about it, Blake Johnson was a transfer, was a STAR LB and FB, Nathaniel Dials was a STAR on the JC defense, DJ Ousley (who lives in Pburg, I'm sure Pburg wishes he woulda stayed at home and played) is a STAR on JC's defense, JJ Jude is THE STAR on JC's offense and plays defense.
