I DO NOT DOUBT THIS. BUT, This is the one thing that kills me about this entire area...ie...EKY. We tend to pick our players or superstars before they even get into high school. It happens at not only Paintsville but every school on this side of the state. I and everyone else sees so many athletes walking the halls because they know they have know chance of getting a chance to show what they can do or have the ability to do on the field. Colt McCoy or Adrian Peterson could walk into any of these schools and say they were a QB and a RB and the would be told by the coaches they that see them as a WR or a OL. The way I see it...until some of these schools..ie. Paintsville, Pikeville, Boyd Co., and quite a few others realize this...it's going to be the same ole thing for the next few years.
Way too much talent in the halls and bleachers at all these schools.

I agree with you to a point. I think the main point is when did students start playing just one or two sports? Seems like they get it in their head or the parents get it in their head that they are going to be a star in football and then they dont play basketball and vice versa. The point is a class A school especially in the mountians cannot compete if their best athletes are sitting in the bleachers. And my best bet is that its all the parents fault deciding what sport they think their kid will be a star in.
