Most of the actual babe ruth prep and games occurs concurrent to the high school season.... After that, fine, use Hambley.... then you run into other conditioning and such from other teams that use the other half of the field. Johns Creek may have a nice field, but what likelihood is there for the PIKEVILLE babe ruth to use a field at Johns Creek? Not just that, but why should Pikeville students HAVE to go to Johns Creek for a field?

If the soccer teams deserve their own field, why don't the kids who play Babe Ruth? What you are saying is a double standard. You didn't like having to run around looking for a regulation field to play on that was convenient.... why should they be put in the same position you just came out of?

Why can't Pikeville just go ahead and join up with the County for a change rather then segregating themselves? Johns Creek no longer has a babe ruth league any how so many of them play at Pikeville so actually it makes sense. The likely hood is actually very good, the field is used for nothing rather then High School soccer practices. The needs to be used I would love to see it happen to be honest. As well you never commented on that the College field will have lights by next spring so why not play half at Hambley half at the College both of which are great fields.

When you also look at it one of the main reasons this is taking place is so that THE HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE teams will have a field rather then having to play on the football/baseball field. Makes more sense when prioritising (spelling) by the city. I am not saying it is right I completly understand where you are coming from. But honestly we were in a much greater disadvantage. I have named off 3 fields withing 10 to 15 miles which would be perfect. While out closest was one field and that was in Johnson County. It is also common knowlege that really the Babe Ruth league will not have to do that much running around considering people are more willing to work with a baseball program then soccer and that is simply the truth. To also add to that the Babe Ruth field construction will not begin until the next May as it is planned right now. So they have a year to find a solution and IMO I will say it will be resolved by Feburary.
