if nothing more get you 8 or 9 8th graders. accept that they won't be good but at the same time get some on the job training. It will benefit them later down the road. Plus the fan base there in that little gym will always give them a shot. Thats a tough place to play

Really going to hurt their baseball team too. Jackson City (as with all small schools) rely on kids to play multiple sports.
if I recall this was the majority of both teams last year. Could be the beginning of the end of athletics at JC. If that happens the school will soon follow.

Jackson with 89 students last year in high school - that is extremely low, but Riverside, JBS and Cordia are smaller.

State is trying to squeeze out small public schools. Hard to believe any small public schools will exist in 25 years. The days of community schools are numbered. This administration wants charter schools. Past administration was trying to save a nickel.

It depends on how you define community. Most of those schools, by the old-school definition, were gone in the 1960s.
To me, each county in a state with 120 counties, is a community - except Jefferson, Fayette and a few others that are very large. Half the counties in Kentucky, I would guess, have less than 25,000 people.
The commissioner pretty much admitted the other day in a TV interview that charter schools won't work in rural areas - only big cities - which is pretty much what I said on here last year when everyone was ready to turn some of the independent high schools into charter schools.

With Fugate leaving and player transferring out Jackson will struggle at best, maybe my Eagles can count on a win here.
