Comments like This are always the best! Prestonsburg is the reason they lost the amount of kids they did. They could have fixed it and kept the kids there. Incase you weren’t aware and it sounds like maybe your not, Paintsville has had a successful program and school well before the first kid ever left Prestonsburg. When you have schools such as Paintsville, Pikeville, Johnson Central in your immediate area and your not keeping your school and it’s programs up to par, unfortunately you run into problems like this. Kids transfer to these other schools in the area every year. Johnson Central gets their share of transfers and so does Pikeville. I have no doubt P Burg has learned from it and is fixing the problems to secure their future or at least I sure hope so.

Bingo! But it’s not just a Prestonsburg problem. It’s a Floyd County problem. Floyd Central and Betsy Layne both lost kids. Basically everyone in the 57th and Pikeville are thriving thanks to sports not being cared about in Floyd County. It’s just as simple as that.
