I am sorry, but I really dont get posts like this. It isnt the community. It is the players on the field. Until the community can put on pads and take the field, it is the boy on the battleground that makes the difference. If they have a couple good years where they can make it to the semi's or finals, the fan support will be there. People tend to follow winners. They are playing threw the motions and not playing like the did in what a lot of Pikeville fans and community wants, the old days. I personally know a lot of the players on the high school championship teams or at least met them a time or two. they played with a little thing called PRIDE more than talent, even though they was in my opinion the most talented team in Eastern Kentucky history. But their hearts and pride would swallow their talent and leave it for dead on the field.

Dont blame the community, coaches, hold back rules, weather, if your helmet isnt as shiny as the other players. Put the blame where it should be, lack of heart, determination, and basically the will to go the extra step to stop someone or get that 1/2 extra yard. I know I am going to get bashed for placing the blame on the players, (kids), but the fact is, they are the one on the field. Until they get the pride back and the true desire to not only win, but distroy, Pikeville better get used to being where they are now. Myers towers is filled up, so no place to put the transfers from Texas. Almost every school in the area has turf now, so that isnt a draw in. The city boys needs to get a toughness in them that has long been gone in Pikeville football.

It is obvious you do not know any of these boys and the hard work they put in this year leadership is what we are lacking and for your information most of the boys are not city boys
