If Jackson can't leave could he even be fired? They would need someone to fill his teaching job. Pikeville football is in for a world of hurt if something doesn't happen soon, be it a coaching change or a change in attitude of the players. With 14-or so graduating and I'm sure not everyone that played will come back out the numbers are going to be scarily scarce. I think Coach J has tried hard to get the program back to State championship status but his style suits more of a big school system where kids can commit year-round to football and here that just is impossible without stepping on some toes. And next year yeah we may have Harmon but who is he going to run behind? Leaving are OLmen Huff, Comer, Walker and other backs that can block In Walker and Jackson and JD Mccoy. And Tim and Ted who may not have always played smart but were great athletes will be gone. It is hard to believe that Blake will be able to lead a young team with a poor line to a state championship. Espcially with Hazard returning a lot. The first game of the year against Corbin could get really ugly really quick. But I would like to thank all the senoirs for great memories from throughtout their careers and I wish them good luck to the ones who move on.
