Just an excuse to not play it in my book and making it seem like JC is the bad guy...IMO. When I was playing grade school ball we only played a team in the county system twice...Porter when I was in the 4th grade and then Oil Springs when I was in the 6th, other than that we stuck to Allen Elem., Pburg, Inez, Warfield, Allen Central, etc. I don't care if the game is played or not, but don't use that one...besides I heard tonight that Paintsville has their schedule made out for next year anyway. It was a good tradition and I'm glad that I was a part of it....but as the saying goes, "the show must go on." Best of luck to both schools in the future and whatever comes out of this situation.

Its a fact brother, if Paintsville can get 6 grade school games, then they will play the Apple Bowl. Won't be playin it next year cause we already got our schedule. I'm with ya though, I could care less if they played it or not.

And to whoever it was that said earlier that Paintsville will only play the county schools when they think they can win, you need to get over yourself. Like IRISH4 said, we only played 2 county schools when were younger, Porter beat us when we were in 4th grade, then we beat Oil Springs when they were "unstoppable" in 6th grade.

A lil somethin else some of you county people may wanna hear about. JC Blanton called one of our grade school coaches a couple days ago and said that they (county) had an All-Star team made up from all the county schools and would like to play our 5th-6th grade team. Our coach asked Kinner if they could play it, Kinner talked to Sammons, Sammons OK'd it. When Blanton was called back with a YES answer, he told our coach that he would have to run it by their Super. SO, if JC's Super OK's the game, then we will get to see Paintsville's 5th-6th grade team VS. the Johnson County 5th-6th grade All-Stars.
