It was called the Pike County Bowl because from the very beginning, it was about the best in Pike County (Pikeville and Belfry) versus some of the best in the state. It has given free money (yes, it is free, no matter what the other poster said) to the schools in this county for YEARS with practically NOTHING being asked from them. Then Shelby Valley started whining, and East Ridge, Pike Central, and Phelps rounded out the Whiner's Symphony. Fine. Let 'em play was the decision made. Then the dropoff in talent was REALLY obvious and people started caring less. But hey, they were playing in the dadgum PCB and it had become a birthright, sorta like living off entitlement. Now that they are not likely to win the argument they present now (let us headline!!) they want to pull out and start their own bowl. Fine, BYE, SVHS. If the 5th-6th grade bowl games you play are any indication of how you will run a bowl, it will die in 3 years. Then how do they take their ball and go home when they're already home?

Go back to the old format, PCB committee, I beg you.

And to you, I'm not sure what the 5th/6th grade teams have to do with a high school thread. But if you don't like how their bowl game is run, then just stay home.
