If you are a good football player in that area and can play there, I have no idea why every kid would not try to get there especially if you want exposure and plan to play in college. They promote their kids, win at a high rate, have great coaches and facilities, great school, run college schemes. play in front of scouts almost weekly. It’s the best football school is eastern KY currently and has been for several years.

I agree with everything that you said, except for the "every kid that can play should want to go there" statement. Believe it or not, there are a lot of kids who love their home, and their high school football tradition. Regardless, if it's their love for the game, a high school they grew up watching, or wanting to follow in the footsteps of their parents, some things mean more to certain kids more than others. Some kids want to play with a certain group of friends from the elementary level, to the high school level. That bond is something that wins or other accolades can't replace. I see it regularly , that local kids from the area are jumping ship and heading to Pikeville. In a sense I don't blame them, but I also respect the kids who stay loyal and represent their home school. Also, if you are a good football player you get noticed regardless, and it all starts with exposure at camps. I respect Pikeville and everything they have accomplished, but I'm "old school" when it comes transfers and immediate gratification.
