That’s not true about the 3 running backs because they have done it on the field and that’s facts,true they don’t get the playing time on offense that the other running backs do because those 2 mainly play offense the other 3 which 2 are starting linebackers and the other one  plays on the defensive line because Pikeville lacks players there so I have seen them at running back so just maybe you need to watch some film on Pikeville so again you made a untrue statement and I didn’t say they were better but I did say effective. Actually one ran a 60 or70 yard touchdown this past game and the other one a 40 or 50 one against LCA now you come back with your competition statement so here go on and on. One more thing before I quit replying let’s both give some of the credit to the lines on both teams for these running backs to get those yards and yes I seen them break tackles and make moves or have great vision to see the holes but those bigs up front are the important part of this stats

You must mean the player that Jet described as an "All World running back." I looked back a few seasons and did not see any All World stats. I didn't make any false statements, I asked you to confirm whether my assumption about the JV team running backs was correct. My point is, it is your opinion and Jet's opinion that Pikeville is loaded with players who would be "effective" running backs but there are no real stats establishing that as a fact. So, who is presenting unsupported opinions? 

All of Johnson Central's running backs also play defense. They rotate players in the backfield to keep them fresh, which means that they have an experienced running back in reserve all the time - not players who would be "effective" if they played the position. Six JC running backs have rushed for a total of at least 100 yards this season.

Pikeville is a very good 1A team, as I have said many times. For a 1A team, they have great size and more than enough skill players to repeat as state champs if their key players stay healthy. They are not going to be competitive with "any team, in any class," unless Pike County consolidates every school district in the county and names it "Pikeville." There is a reason football teams are broken into classes based on enrollment size across the country. It seems like every season that fans from some team or another start boasting about how their team is a top 10 team in all classes, etc. This year seems to be Pikeville's turn.   

As far as replying to my posts, nobody asked you to comment on my exchange with jet. You are free to reply or not reply to any post that you want but if do not expect me not to reply in kind. So, take your ball and go home, if that is what floats your boat.
