It's about 65 miles and 1 1/2 hour trip from Louisa to Phelps. It's no where near what some of you guys are acting like. What's the big deal? It's not like they have to make that drive weekly or anything.

You are wrong.

It is 95 miles and a 2.5 hour trip.

I personally tried to schedule Lawrence County the 2 years before Coach Cook arrived and you know what answer I got from whoever the AD, principal, and basketball coach was at that time? It is too far of a trip for us to make. I agreed but said we are both down and could be a good game.....they said too far.


Now that you are pretty good you want in the 60th? Why not the 59th? Why not a REAL realignment to where you stay in the 57th, a Floyd Co. team moves to the 59th and Sheldon Clark moves to the 60th?

You wanna know why? Because no one cares about Phelps on the Pike County end and on your end - you feel like you would are the better team in every sport the 60th plays in.
If it was all about 5 team and 3 team districts you would want the closest drive etc. You don't, you want easy paths to the region tournament in everything......just be careful what you wish for.

I'm tired of the argument, it will be voted on Nov. 11th but at least the BOC has all the information now and knows that everyone isn't "on board" like was presented to them.

This is nothing against Lawrence Co., this is about what is fair to my kids.


By the way I'm Coach Varney at Phelps you can e-mail if you want some "facts".
