I don't know who everyone else thinks it is but I know that the pressure is coming from the basketball coaches. 2 region championships in 33 years compared to 20+ in football. All that winning from one sport is bound to get the other sports coaches jealous and willing to do whatever they have to, to try and pull off a region championship. Most of the kids you named fill out the roster but don't see much if any playing time. Take for instance Matt Clevinger, he could pretty good at three different sports as opposed to being mediocre in one. He is a good kid who could be a whole lot more if he gave himself the opportunity to expand his horizons.

That surprises me about the Pikeville Basketball coaches if that is actually happening. As a matter of fact I believe Bart helps out with the football team on Friday nights if I am not mistaken. I do know I have seen him at about every football game that I go to. Also, I don't even think Clevenger likes football let alone wants to play. Last years Pikeville basketball line-up included 3 starters that were football players so I don't blame him for not wanting them all to play both. He has a big job to do as well. Last, how many region titles do you think the football team would have in the past 33 years if they didn't have a class systeml? Probably more than 2 but I would say that the Angry Red team would have a bunch of them, along with Johnson Central, Sheldon Clark, Prestonsburg, Elkhorn City, and Paintsville.

ps...Clevenger was mediocre as a "sophmore"...he will be very good...just wait and see!!
