Lol....

I DO agree that if Pikeville (being an independent school) is going to play within the county then they should follow the same guidelines that county schools do. EXAMPLE: Their 8th graders playing UP on the freshman team and then being allowed to come back down to play Jr. High ball. County schools DO NOT allow this!!! I personally think that what is good for one is good for all! Sorry.... don't mean to offend anyone but this is just my opinion!!

I am having a hard time understanding why this isn't fair. If anything it is a disadvantage to Pikeville because the 8th graders have not got to play with the team all year like most kids. All 8th graders in the state of Kentucky (even in Pike County, Letcher, etc) can play Freshman football, but not JV football because then there is a chance they could play against Juniors, which is illegal. The only exception is if they were held back that year. Then they can only play against Junior High competition. So don't say Pike County does not allow this. Your coaches do not allow this.
