[clueless]

I would like to congratulate Ben on his decision to leave the Pikeville program. This just proves that he is smart enough to know that he deserves a better situation than what he has endured this year.....and to realize that the current administration and leaders of the community are not willing to stand behind his decisions nor to support his ideas to put the program back on top. Raising the grading scale to ensure that certain players are ineligible so that someone else's child can have a position is just an example of what has went on. As far as hiring a coach that graduated from PHS and that knows the history......that's kind of funny. People seem to forget that a lot of those young men that played for Hillard during Pikeville's "glory days" were not even from Pikeville. It just seems like a lot of these posts are "clannish". Hillard wasn't Pikeville born and raised..... He just knew what it took to win and he also knew how to treat people. One more thing....he was not lazy as one of your most likely candidates has been labeled.
