I have no doubt they'll continue to be the "Apple Bowl". What is in doubt, though, is the form it should take.

I'd suggest having two games. Let Central play teams like Ashland, Bell Co., Rockcastle Co., etc (good bigger EKY program). Paintsville could play Raceland, Fairview, Hazard, etc. (good smaller EKY program).

While I realize Central draws well in regular home games, one must believe it would be even better if you add the interested fans from the area that won't have a game to go to that night. After all, there's NOTHING to compete with games played on a Thursday night.

I can promise you that as long as the current staff is at Johnson Central there will never be two games played in the Apple Bowl. It will be Johnson Central and Paintsville or there won't be a game.
