Different board same results with agreement. Parents have sent children to schools here in Johnson for years. They have also sent their children to Pikeville/Pike County for years. It's called culture. Success in athletics is part of the overall school culture. Students like to be part of successful schools and participate on successful athletic teams. They also like to have the opportunity to chose from a variety of activities. Schools outside Floyd have more to offer. Tennis, golf, soccer, track, band. Prestonsburg used to have a great band. Now they don't have a band. Haven't had one for years. Maybe Floyd should look in the mirror and say; what can we do for our kids to get them to stay instead of complaining about other schools when their students leave.
