Very well-said and accurate!

I was at the planning stage of the Maroon Madness. It was originally scheduled for the Paintsville game. It was changed because of senior night for the football players. The chili dinner was scheduled before the dinner to help get people at the school before the football game with the madness after the game with the hopes that if someone wasnt going to the football game, they would if they was already going to be there anyway. Panther Thunder, it wasnt starting as the football game was ending. It was going to start after the end of the football game. If the game had gone into overtime, the starting of the Maroon Madness would have been postponed.

I know during the chili dinner I overheard a few saying they was going to check out the football game instead of going home. If the weather was better for the playoff game, there would have been a very large crowd at the football game. The weather and the score took the fans out of the bleachers for the playoff game. I guess it is Coach Williams fault the score was so lopsided that people didnt want to stay and watch the whole game. The reasoning behind it was to get more people in the stands during BOTH events, not just one of them.

Coach Williams as well as the rest of the basketball team do what they can to help out the football team. They practice at 6 am on Friday mornings so the players will be able to attend the game Friday night. The only grips I can see between the football program and the basketball program at PHS is all on here from what I can see. Has anyone seen in dissension between the players in the school, practice, or where ever. Just the same as I have not between the coaches either at the school or anywhere else. How many games has anyone seen the basketball players in the football stands? How many games has Matt Clevenger missed with his megaphone?

This isnt anything that Coach Williams threw together. There were many involved besides the boys basketball team. It was the girls team, jr. high boys and girls. The athletic director and I am sure the principal and board had some say on when the events were going to be. If it was planned to be a conspiracy against the football team, then why are so many others that are in a position to see both succeed involved? Why isnt anyone else complaining but one or two people? I think that maybe, just maybe Hail Pikeville has a problem with the basketball team and he is trying to stir the pot on a webpage.
