[Pulp Fiction]

I'm posting this on Thursday morning @ 7:05am & according to the KHSAA scoreboard......

Johnson Central is Open this week (duh).
Paintsville is Open this week.

Both teams are needing a game and are less than two miles apart.
Some people will say I'm living in the past, but JC could go five straight weeks without a game. At this point, anything is better than not playing.
8/27 - Canceled vs. Lexington Catholic
9/3 - Canceled vs. Bishop Sycamore, OH.
9/11 - Cahokia, IL. (Still scheduled)
9/17 - Rock Creek Christian Academy; Upper Marlboro, MD. (Still scheduled)
9/24 - This is listed as a scheduled Open date.

With Ms. Rona still going crazy (and I have no inside info on this), but as of now, I find it hard to believe that a team from the St. Louis metro area & a team from the D.C. metro area will travel to Eastern KY. for a football game..... I could be wrong, but that's a lot of travel for those teams in a pandemic. Some area schools are already closing down in-school sessions & extra-curricular activities. Those two teams may not cancel, but the Johnson County school system may be shut down for a few weeks if this keeps up (again, I have no inside knowledge.... just speculation on my part). If the two out-of-state teams do cancel, or JC can't play for whatever reason, we might be able to pick up some games in their place, but who knows. Our district games are less than impressive, Henry Clay is having a rough start thus far and Belfry seems to be struggling as well. No disrespect to those teams, but facts are facts. Those are major factors in having a good RPI.... I realize there are things in life bigger than having a good RPI, I'm just making an observation. So please don't jump on me with both feet.

There are only so many weeks in a season and so few chances to play.... I hate it for the kids in all grades of school, but JC has such a great senior class, it sucks not being able to see them play under those Friday night lights.
