Just add Phelps too and that school would have a enrollment of over 4000 kids.
Call it Pike county high school and have Haywood as the coach.

More like 3000

Pike Central-680
Belfry-647
Pikeville-368
Shelby Valley-563
East Ridge- 545
Phelps-213

Total- 3016


A lot of schools would be much better if they combined and would be powerhouses assuming everything went well. For comparison, check these out.

Pulaski County

Somerset-509
Pulaski County- 1087
Southwestern-1220

Total- 2816

Laurel County

South Laurel- 1240
North Laurel- 1374

Total- 2614

It would be interesting to say the least.
I would expect with the decline of coal, Pulaski and laurel county will gain population while the schools in Pikeville lose population.
