So easy to strike a nerve with Pikevull fans. I never said they had any say in it did I? I just said it was an unspoken advantage to have basically 3 weeks off compared to other schools. You should be happy about it big guy.

Because it has been beat to death. You've got freaking Lawrence County bypassing THREE districts to join this one. They actually asked to join this district in all sports (except football of course). Everyone whines and moans every year that "Pikeville has an unfair advantage blah blah blah". Pikeville would rather play a tough schedule and get ready for the playoffs every year. At least they don't petition the KHSAA to skip past two or three closer districts just to try and have some weaker competition. Why do you think Pikeville annually plays teams like Belfry, Middlesboro, Paintsville, Russell, Prestonsburg, etc? Because it makes them better. So you see an "unfair advantage" and everyone else who is objective enough to sit back and look says "well, not really, because they have a tough schedule every year in non district games". About the only advantage to playing a Jenkins, Phelps, et al is to get playing time for our JV, which basically keeps us from having to schedule 5 or 6 JV games to try and get the depth some work to develop them more with.
