I would have to agree Otis. Possibly some time off and how the title game went, could cause a change of heart. Who knows? Even though Pikeville is a much larger school than Paintsville, One of the big differences between the two are, if your an athlete at Pikeville in the fall, for the most part, your on the football field! Paintsville has quite a few that would be difference makers that just don’t play. You could see the difference looking at both sidelines. Pikeville has Double the amount of kids on their roster. Paintsville needs to figure out how to get those extra athletes onto the field. In a 1A program you need Every one you can get!

I think losing a coach that helped change the culture of that school is a tough blow to take. Not just for coaching, but the person I’m alluding to helped a lot of kids get scholarship opportunities from what I have been told.

To go from where that program was at, to making it to the championship game speaks volumes of the work that was put in. Your 100 percent accurate when you say that it’s imperative for a small school to get the absolute best athletes to play ball.
