[Coach Roberts]

Congrats SV and good luck at All A state.

I figured Pikeville would be in rebuilding mode this season but they seem to be better than I anticipated. SV is a great program and no shame in losing to the Wildcats in bassketball. Obviously the 2 Johnson County Schools will be right there also but depending on the draw I could easily see the 2 playing again in the Expo in a couple of weeks for the region title.

Rebuilding year? I think we will be better than last years team come tournament time (3 returning starters). Seth quitting the team hurt us or there would’ve been 4 significant starters returning. But with that said, Johnson Central, Paintsville, and Shelby Valley are all better than they were last year. All three of those programs are great programs with terrific coaches. Pikeville has a target on their back and they are going to get everyone’s best game.
For you to say “it’s a rebuilding year” is a slap in the face to the players who have been big time contributors to Pikeville’s recent success.
