[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

I disagree. Many people are speaking. Changes are a coming.

Its true many people are talking but they arent talking out of their mouths. They are talking out of another body part thats located a few feet below their mouth:moon:
Im gonna set the record straight right now.
Whoever started the rumor that Jackson dont want his kids playing other sports is a LIAR!
Ive heard Coach J numerous times not only permit his kids to play other sports but actually encourage it when he is addressing them as a team. Whoever repeated these rumors I blame them for being so GUTLESS that they wouldnt even have the cojunes to talk to him personally about this instead of just taking everybody elses word for it.
As for the Freshmen who didnt play all Im saying is that yes we will miss them but in the long run in life THEY will be the ones who regret not playing because Ive never met a person in my life who quit any sport in high school that didnt regret it later on. And as far as the people who want a coaching change because a few 15 year old kids dont like the coach let me ask this. Are you leading your kids or are they leading you? Im sure there were plenty of freshmen who didnt like Hillard Howard but they played anyway because they had parents who told them to suck it up, quit whining and be man instead of a child who wants to take his ball and go home when things dont go his way.
And about Coach J giving a kid a rough time because he chooses to put himself over the TEAM by partcipating in a MEANINGLESS intermural baseball game that has nothing to do with the school. No coach in their right mind would be happy about a kid putting hiself in harms way in some non school related sporting event while the school team is counting on them. We here in Pikeville are at a crossroads right now and we must decide. Do we want a football program that contends for state titles every year like we used to.
OR do we want to be a program where the Coaches have to only do the type of workouts and practices the players want to do and only when they feel like doing it. This is the choice before us at this time. Put in simple terms. Should we be Pikeville or Should we be more like the COUNTY SCHOOLS???????? THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!
