To those who stuck it out, kudos. But is there a lack of interest in football at Pikeville now? Are there more options, like soccer, that the kids are turning to, or has the little league/junior high system been lacking in previous years?

I wouldn't say there is a lack of interest, but Pikeville High School has way too many athletes for them to just sit around and be lazy...Those who do just sit around and don't do anything need to realize that they could be big contributors to a lot of athletics at Pikeville, not just football. IMO a lot of the students are afraid of football and not willing to give it a chance b/c they think it would be too hard, but what they don't realize is all of the positive things you get from playing football. This is why i think those people are too scared to play. What they need to do is just ask some of the seniors who played what football meant to them and how much it hurt them to lose. Then, they may give it a shot.

And as for there being more options...Yes there are more and i think they would rather do that just b/c they think football would be too hard, when really it isn't. I also agree that the little league has been lacking, but i think Coach J is doing everything in his power to get that back going.

For Pikeville to get back to the top they need contributions from the students who chose not to play. I think they need to re-think it all and give football a chance!
