Congrats to these guys, but if Wells keeps signing players from the 15th region then Pikeville will be weaker than they have ever been. Stupid to sign all 15th region players, especially if you actually wanna win a game.

No, what is stupid is to make a statement like that one. This isn't Kelly Wells 1st coaching job. He knows exactly what he is doing. He will get his 6 or 8 studs from elsewhere, then get 6 or 8 local kids to fill the seats and hopefully develope one or two of the locals into nice college players. I am glad that Kelly is taking this approach because I got tired of watching a bunch of D-1 rejects come in here and give PC a bad name off the court. He will do things right and the Bears will no longer be playing in front of a bunch of empty seats. By the way, if you look close at PC's basketball history, it is the local boys that have made the program!!

PC Top 5 Scorers:
1) Bart Williams- Johnson Central
2) Todd May- Virgie
3) Brian Johnson- Jenkins
4) Donnis Butcher- Meade Memorial
5) Jody Thompson- Feds Creek

Signing those 5 local talents turned out OK, and 3 of the 5 played within the last 15 years!!!
