[Pulp Fiction]

Let's look at the past few seasons.... I would argue that JC & Paintsville would have been a better game for each other than who they actually played. When the mighty might Tigers decided to end the series after the 2008 season, the write-up in the Paintsville Herald said they wanted to focus on winning a state championship.... who else better to play than a team less than two miles away & has played in five straight 4A state titles games, winning two of those.

2019
JC played Lafayette
Paintsville played Lawrence County.

2018

2017

2016

2015

Ashland dropped to 3A to avoid JC, now they won't play us.... hope they enjoy getting beat out every year by Belfry.
Paintsville, you made it to the big dance last year...... but if you wanna shot at beating Pikeville, you gotta test yourself. Pikeville plays Belfry and it pays off for them.
