The new practice facility at the high school is only in your dreams. They have been talking about that for 10 years and still no digging!! The Goose does have a rubber floor but it is twice as big as the elementary gym. No one said they would "build" the basketball program at the Blue Goose, but it is about time that it can be used for basketball. This is a great move. It is already being rentivated as we speak.....the floor is being painted, new goals are being put up, and new scoreboards will be there shortly. It still won't be a thing of beauty but the improvements will make it a good practice facility. Cheerleading is losing some luster at PHS. The girls are starting to drop off at the HS level. The parents are also frustrated with the expense of cheering now. I think you will see Pikeville Cheerleading drop back to normal like the rest of this area before long. Girls are just getting burned out with it!!

You are off a tad in my book. First off.....any idea where the name "Gym" came from?

Long befor Naismith came up with the game of basketball, the"Gym" was used for gymnastics.

basketball, took over the "Gym" and now there are few high schools that offer competitve gymnastics.

Cheerleading is the last "toe-hold" that many schools have to hang onto any form of gymnastics. And if there was a place out there that was primarily used for this, then I think that is great!! But there are idiots out there that think that "Gyms" were built for basketball!!! LOL
