My daddy told me any time you cross the Pike county line you keep one hand on your wallet and one eye on your woman because they cheat you out of both.

He must have been talking about crossing the Pike County line into Floyd County. lol A little off topic, but *ahem* how many of Betsy Layne's players come from other schools this year?

Look, the whole point is, the Pikeville coach used a player who was ineligible, and as a result, Pikeville was disqualified from the tournament. Unless one of us is actually HIM, we don't know if he misunderstood, thought he had met the criteria, or flat out wanted to cheat. Bottom line anyway you want to parse it. But some of you all are so anti-Pikeville, you would believe that the school would do ANYTHING at ANY costs, to win. Just not true for the majority of the coaches, players, and administrators. There ARE a few (like any school) who would run over their grandmothers in a misguided attempt to win a game of tiddlywinks. Is this a case of that coach being one of them? I don't know. I know him well enough to say hi and chat with him purely socially, but will not pretend to understand or try to understand what is going through his mind or what his intentions are because unlike some of you, I wasn't gifted with telepathy at birth. What about the East Ridge player who was so upset over losing to Pikeville and being left off the all tournament team, he was on his Facebook page talking about transferring to Pikeville? Of course, if that were to actually happen, someone out there would claim we offered him a deal, blahblahblah. Best of luck to these kids as they move on to the next season and some in high school next year. Likewise, best of luck to all the other players at the other schools. It was a fun year, full of highlights and drama, time to move on and focus on the high school regional tournaments.
