Personally, I think it’s ridiculous. We all know all these parents and kids aren’t moving yet the KHSAA turns a blind eye to what’s going on. Coming from a program that may never recover from the amount of transfers that’s taken place over the years (Prestonsburg), all it’s doing is watering down high school athletics. Now, do I blame the parents and kids? No, I don’t. Talented kids want to play with other talented kids. Who I blame most is the Floyd County School System who don’t even acknowledge the fact that the county is losing kids and teachers hand over fist, but they continue to play the political side of things to make sure everyone in charge gets their back scratched. Some of the things I’m hearing is in the works within the county absolutely blows my mind and is only going to set this county back even more. I’m not going to elaborate, but if it plays out like it sounds, the rest of the county may end up in Pike and/or Johnson. Just gonna have to wait and see how it all plays out.

I said almost the same exact thing on another thread. Floyd co has destroyed its sports programs with buddy hiring and politics.. We all know it, its no secret. Im not gonna bad mouth anyone but a couple of floyd county schools in particular are the poster children for playing politics and buddy hiring. God almighty I will never understand some of the hires and decisions they have made.. I know a bunch of the kids and parents who left. Watched them play since they were little, know their familys. Even played ball with some of the parents...No one can blame them for wanting to play for winning programs and make no mistake its for sports pure and simple.. The only ones to blame are Floyd countys school/s administrations for allowing the problems that set off this mass migration.
Just to note I dont think Pikeville or any Johnson co school did anythign wrong at all. I know exactly why the kids and parents made the decisions they did..I cant blame them
