IDk how many times I have had to explain to Johnson Central fans that Paintsville is a public school. Just like central the only difference is that it is in a independent distric not affiliated with the county.

And guys Im not trying to say Paintsille is almighty over Johnson central. All I am saying is that this year and last year. (Two years hence the term couple) Paintsville has dominated johnson central. Football, Basketball, and baseball are not the only sports these schools play. Once more as of right now Paintsville is 6-1 in varsity level competitions with johnson central. Which is very impressive when you consider Paintsville is somewhere around 1/3 the size of central. Paintsville has 260 or so kids in the high school. I have no idea how many kids central has. Last year the girls baskebtball team won both games against central, Softball, and volleyball lost both. boys basketball split. and Baseball won both. Girls soccer went 2-1 against central, with the boys going 2-1 as well that puts varsity level competition between the two the last TWO years at 15-9 in Paintsville's favor. The two years before that where some of the worst in tiger sports history. So now that paintsville is somewhat back on its feet we are more than holding our own with the school across the creek.

[PaintsvilleTigerfan]

Quite frankly I have nothing but respect for Johnson Central, They are a rival but I do not hate them like I do some schools. However I will defend Paintsville when someone says something about our athletic program. Especially when they state something along the lines of us needing to consolidate with Central.

[PaintsvilleTigerfan]

Ok.... You got me.

I remember when the internet message boards first became popular..... Paintsville had t-shirts made up for the student body to wear at ballgames.

(front of shirt)
We're Peppy....
We're Preppy....
We're Paintsville!

(back of shirt)
The Original
Bluegrass Preps!

You also had the classic "You Know" and "You Wish" shirts. The shirts Johnson central band made making fun of BMR. My favorite though was the shirt talking about central's million dollar field with the wrong eagle on it. A bald eagle is not a Golden eagle lol. Itd be like us painting a lion on our field. I love a good rivalry.

I'm fully aware of the term "couple." I just simply dated back to the 2008 school year to include the last Apple Bowl. Also, this school year isn't over yet so that isn't exactly a "couple" of years either. 1.5 is not the same as 2, which is what is required for a "couple" to exist.

[Eagle Eye]

So far this year Paintsville is 5-1 against Johnson central, with centrals one win coming in volleyball. They did beat us both time in softball last year, and both in volleyball. But we had a winning record in soccer, Split the series in boys basketball, and havent lost in girls basketball to them since 09. Add in winning both times in baseball with one of them being a mercy rule win. So call that what you will but I will say it is pretty damn good against a school three times our size. There is a legitimate possibilty Johnson central won't beat Paintsville at anything else this year, except boys basketball. Which will probably be a split series. Quite frankly your post was out of line, and you should probably do a little research before you say something like this.

What was the score of the football game?????:eyeroll:

What was the score of the football game?????:eyeroll:

Who cares! Paintsville should have NEVER competed with JC in football and should NEVER again. BUT, What PTF is saying is true. The facts are there. Whistle all you want EE. You know it's true. My question though is: What does it matter? As long as the kids respect each other before, during and after the events....Who gives a crap what a bunch of idiotic adults think! Yes they hate to be beat by the other. BUT, they have a whole lot more class about it now, than any of the ones from the past ever did. Ihope it comes down to a PHS vs JC Regional Championship EVERY year no matter what!

[Redneck]

I guess we can expect to see the same offense we seen this year, and the same QB...

That is the one big negative about this hire.

I could sink to your level and bring up academics, but im not going to. Try and be classy about things and represent your school with pride.

Wow, how did that happen????

[White Feather]

REU, PTF & EB before you guys get into a real p _ _ _ ing contest, and all three of you seem like industurious young people, I might make a suggestion that would really see who the best team is or shall I say was from the very beginning of playing all sports. PTF wants to go back to this year only, EB wants to go back 3 years and REU questions what PTF knows. Look up the records for every sporting event they have ever played, look at the wins and losses add them up and you have a winner. I will say this that Paintsville did chicken out of the football games though.
Or count the wins in the 3 major sports, baseball, basketball and football if you like andget a total, post it here so everyone can see then we will all know which one of you are correct. You can't just pick out years that suit you, all games count toward the total.

[OffTheHook]

How far is Paintsville HS from Johnson Central? Why do they even have two schools that close together? Most of the better players from Paintsville aready go to JC anyway, why not consolidate the schools?

This is one of the MOST ignorant post ever!

You don't know where the schools are?
Then you ask why they are so close together.
If you don't know the first two. How can you know which "better players" go to what school?

My point exactly!!!! Who cares what the records are???? I cheer for Paintsville as long as they are not playing JC. I don't sit and count what the records are in the past year, six months, week, whatever. My point was PTF wants to bring out all these RECORDS over the past year or so but he doesn't fill in that We do not play in all sports. Why didn't he put the records on here from the previous years?? I didn't see any records that I can recall. Just my point!!!! :welcome:

I don't know what that matters but if you want to bring up adacemics I will surely put up my high school gpa, my degrees, or anything else you want to compare!!! And most know that in all reality that their is not that much difference!!! :please:. I was not the one who started the posts that lacked class with we are better than you but I will only count certain time frames and certain events.:Thumbs:

Would you expect anything less?

Eagle Eye I totally respect the programs of both schools. When you start to gage success I think you must be very careful not to individualize them to the person. When you do that, there will always be someone that can bring something better to the plate. Education after all is a matter of self production. It concerns me that many across the Commonwealth read and formulate opinions of EKy, based on a menial forum like this. In advance I must apologize for what I am about to say. Before you offer a comparison of "Educational Achievement ", please review your post with respect to 101/102. I choose to believe your post was made with with emotion and not considerate of grammar. That of cource is quite understandable.

I have actually done this before back when I was in school. Paintsville has the series lead in Football, Basketball, and Baseball. But I don't consider that an accurate assesment because Johnson central hadn't really came into their own athletically until the 80's. Although they did have some very good basketball teams back in the day.

[PaintsvilleTigerfan]

Wow, how did that happen????

They put bald eagles on everything over there. Iv never figured it out lol. They are clearly the GOLDEN EAGLES, a entirely different species. lol

[PaintsvilleTigerfan]

What it matters is that it is very hard to judge either school against the other because of the size difference. Case in point.

Academically Johnson central is very good for its size, but not even in the same ballpark as Paintsville.

Athletically Paintsville is very good for its size, And shouldn't be in the same ballpark as central. But we manage to compete. That is what Im getting at.

As a matter of scale Paintsville Is about 1/4 the size of central, Piarist is about 1/4 the size of paintsville so by your logic should piarist ever field a football team we should brag about beating them. And go crazy every time we beat piarist in anything.

[t4p3r8]

Agreed. I read that post and wanted to see how dominant Paintsville has been in the past several years in the major boys sports. These are the win/loss records for each Paintsville/JCHS game played since the 2008-2009 school year.

Boys Basketball
Feb 9, 09 Johnson Central home 49 - 66 (L)
Feb 12, 09 Johnson Central away 59 - 85 (L)
Feb 8, 10 Johnson Central away 26 - 53 (L)
Feb 12, 10 Johnson Central home 48 - 56 (L)
Jan 7, 11 Johnson Central home 53 - 51 (W)
Feb 11, 11 Johnson Central away 66 - 67 (L)
Wins: PHS – 1, JCHS – 5 16.7%
Baseball
Apr 27, 09 Johnson Central home 3 - 8 (L)
May 19, 09 Johnson Central away 3 - 4 (L)
Apr 19, 10 Johnson Central home 6 - 8 (L)
May 11, 10 Johnson Central away 2 - 4 (L)
May 5, 11 Johnson Central home 1 - 0 (W)
May 25, 11 Johnson Central at Sheldon Clark 10 - 0 (W)
Wins: PHS – 2, JCHS – 4 33.3%
Football
Oct 2, 08 Johnson Central home 7 - 55 (L)
2009 – Did not play
2010 – Did not play
2011 – Did not play
Wins: PHS – 0, JCHS 1 0%

Looks like a dynasty to me, 3 wins in 13 games.

Again though, best of luck to BMR on restoring the pride and tradition of Tiger football.

I think you should count all sports in your totals like soccer-boys and girls, volleyball and girls basketball. When these two schools play each other, it doesn't matter if it is checkers, the fans are there and it is a battle. I think you'll find if you add these sports in the totals it will change a little, with 2011really leaning in Paintsville's favor.

Looking at the 2011 stats, 2011 really did go in Paintsville's favor.

Boys Basketball Paintsville 1-1 Johnson Central 1-1
Girls Basketball Paintsville 2-0 Johnson Central 0-2
Baseball Paintsville 2-0 Johnson Central 0-2
Girls Soccer Paintsville 1-0 Johnson Central 0-1
Boys Soccer Paintsville 3-0 Johnson Central 0-3
Volleyball Paintsville 2-1 Johnson Central 1-2

Totals Paintsville 11-2 Johnson Central 2-11


Funny how you can make statistics say what you want.

[Pupaw]

Not surprised with the hire of BMR. He'll be able to get the kids to go out and play hard for him. He is a great motivator and I feel like he'll be able to get the numbers up. I'm anxious to see what kind of schemes he brings in for this team. We all hear about the offensive woes but at the same time Paintsville gave up an average of almost 38 points per game this season. You can't win games giving up 5 TD's per game. Not to mention giving up 70 to an average Nicholas County team, and 62 to Pikeville.

[Backwoods]

The new coach should be able to motivate these kid's to play hard for him. That's great for PHS. Also I'm sure that since he was a coach before he has had a lot of time to reflect on mistake's he might have made and how he would do things differently next time around. I do see one major problem he has right off the bat and that is the recruitment within PHS of some more sophomore's for next season. I noticed,while on KHSAA,that PHS only had 3 freshmen this season. While they will have 6 seniors and 13 juniors for next season efforts need to be made to gather in those sophomores for the season after next to support those 13 seniors to be for the 2013 season. With them PHS could be quite successful in just a few short years. Without them PHS could faulter before they even get started. I'm sure PHS has some players to fill that void in the school before 2013 rolls around. With that said,PHS could pull off a 5-6 or even a 6-5 season with the large group of upper classmen they have next season. That would be a great start out of the block for this coach and the new painstville team. Who know's maybe even win a playoff game. Good luck to the new coach and the team next season. Now they have something to play for.

It's mostly the adults that start all the idiotic Paintsville vs. Johnson Central BS, like the "list". Where these two schools are concerned, the adults act like the kids. A lot of these kids from both schools are friends. When my kid went to Paintsville, I rooted for Johnson Central when they weren't playing each other.

[TheRealVille]

I think BMR was a good hire. He is a very good coach and motivator. If I'm not mistaken, the year he coached before, they went 10-3. Not bad.

[PaintsvilleTigerfan]

The adults at the games are the ones causing problems.

[MtnHSFootballFan]

How far is Paintsville HS from Johnson Central? Why do they even have two schools that close together? Most of the better players from Paintsville aready go to JC anyway, why not consolidate the schools?

One is a city school, one is a county school. They have 2 different school boards.

[IRISH4]

I guess we can expect to see the same offense we seen this year, and the same QB...

Probably...might be better with a year of experience and in the weight room.
