Hate to see the Apple Bowl go...was good for the community...

Apple Classic wasn't a possibility?????

I've been around both school systems the past few years...the rivalry was always there (but kinda in a fun, competitive way)....but the past 3-4 years have gotten out of hand (on both sides)

There are good people on both sides of the creek.....and stinky ones too. However I do think there is a concerted effort on the part of some in the county system to "put down" Paintsville at every opportunity----I was even told directly by both a county administrator and faculty memebers that they would not rest until Paintsville was closed. You can believe me or not-----but I know what I heard.....

A great tradtion! The only reason to contunue this game is for the gate to PHS. This will be a big financial blow to the PHS football program and will not effect JC in any way. The only record that matters in the series now is that PHS waved the white flag and said enough. It will not take the administrators from JC to close PHS, the financial decline in the area and loss of students will do that.
