As an outsider with no inside knowledge of any of the Floyd County programs it’s crazy for me to think that kids leave Pburg for football to play at Betsy Layne. To me it’s about like if a kid left Belfry to go over and play at Pike Central. Pburg used to be on the level that Belfry, Pikeville, and Johnson Central are now. But that was a while ago and none of the kids in school now can remember those days. To them all they know is Betsy Layne has been the top team in Floyd. County. Heck I’m sure most of them don’t remember South Floyd and Allen central being a school. And why are they leaving without ever giving the new coach a shot? Do they not like him and the staff?

That’s a really good question. I do know that the majority of the ones who left are kids who have transferred around a couple times already but they’re pretty big losses on an already limited roster. Most kids want to win now and they know that’s likely not going to happen this year. Coach Hager will have to build this thing from the ground up.
