[Glory Days]

Almost entire middle school state championship team from Floyd County has transferred to Paintsville after they won the state championship.

Prestonsburg's best girl basketball player has transferred to Johnson Central.

It is embarrassing for Henry Webb and his school system. He thinks everyone is recruiting his kids away. He sends an email telling his administrators not to schedule Paintsville and Pikeville in any sports and JC will follow.

Kids are not being recruited away. Its Floyd County's lack of quality coaches and more importantly they are almost at the bottom in the state in ACT scores. Paintsville and Pikeville are top 10 on the ACT every year. This is main reason kids are leaving, the education provided not recruiting.

My question after you read the attached email from Henry Webb: Should a board of control member that is supposed to be representing every school in his/her region be boycotting schools because he can't keep any of his kids in his school system. I say he should resign from being a board of control member and concentrate on retaining his kids by hiring better coaches and getting his ACT scores up!

At a minimum, he needs to resign from his board of control position. This is embarrassing for his school system he would write an email like this as a board of control member!

Until there is a change in the administration at Prestonsburg High School and certain coaches removed this will not be the last group of kids leaving.
