Like ESPN's Title Town USA, who is title town in eastern Kentucky? This includes all-sports & academic achievements.

[herd_fan_1]

Well Ii dont like em but you gotta go with Ashland Tomcats.

[Beetle01]

Gonna have to go with Russell. Their Academic Teams and Science Olympiad teams are usually tops in the state. Basketball team hurts them, they are usually not that good in basketball. Football is good. Baseball is decent. Track is good and so is soccer. The girls however set them apart. They dominate EKY in just about every sport in the girls division. Especially track and softball.

[i_own_u]

Ill go with Johnson Central. Their Academic team is the only future problem solving team to win 3 international FPS titles. They have also won 8 Regional Governor’s Cup championships. Theirbaseball team has made it to the state tournament and acually won a game. Boys basketball is normally so so. Had a state chamion is wrestling this past year. Track team normally has atleast two kids who go to state.

[NIKE2010]

Paintsville, Ashland, and Belfry.

[DevilsWin]

Given that Ashland is the only school in Ky with a National Basketball title I'm gonna go with Ashland.

[ComfortEagle]

The problem I have with Title Town is that it will vary throughout the years.

Pikeville (winning the football championships) could easily have been named Title Town in the late 80's, but recently, you could make an argument that Belfry is Title Town with their football championships in recent years.

Whoever is hot right now is more likely to be named Title Town, but someone hot right now, might not be in 10 years; so I don't think we can ever name an official Title Town.

You just wraped it up in one sentence.:thatsfunn

[MVP2]

Perry Central...Both boys and girls have many regional championships for Basketball, Baseball team has a a few too. I would deff throw the Commodores in the mix.

[BlackcatAlum]

Everyone in my question I wasn't referring to high schools, I was referring to towns.

Example:

Johnson Central/Paintsville= Paintsville
Perry Central/Hazard= Hazard
Shelby Valley/Pike Central/Pikeville= Pikeville

[herd_fan_1]

Everyone in my question I wasn't referring to high schools, I was referring to towns.

Example:

Johnson Central/Paintsville= Paintsville
Perry Central/Hazard= Hazard
Shelby Valley/Pike Central/Pikeville= Pikeville

Okay Russell, Raceland, Greenup county= Ashland area

[Mr.Kimball]

If that is the criteria, then it is Paintsville, hands down.

[Beetle01]

If that is the criteria, then it is Paintsville, hands down.

Not even close to the Ashland area. Ashland, Russell, Raceland, Greenup, Boyd Co., Rose Hill. Now this probably dwarfs Paintsville in pop. though.

[herd_fan_1]

Hey so what if its bigger than paintsville area they have in the real titletown New York, LA, lol

[Mr.Kimball]

Not even close to the Ashland area. Ashland, Russell, Raceland, Greenup, Boyd Co., Rose Hill. Now this probably dwarfs Paintsville in pop. though.

Just how many counties are you going to include? Why dont you just throw in Cabell, Wayne, and Lawrence Co. Ohio, and combine them all together while your at it. How about just one county at a time.

[Real Badman]

Maybe you should have made a poll?

[Norm Stewert]

Greenup Co. Has 1 Football State Championship
Boyd Co has 1 Football State Chamionship

That's 15 State Titles for 2 counties in football only.

Add in Basketball and Baseball and you'll have even more State Titles.

If you want to count District and Regional titles and we'll be getting into the 100's.

The North is "Title Town" in Eastern Ky!

[Norm Stewert]

[OffTheHook]

Okay Russell, Raceland, Greenup county= Ashland area

NOT....Russell, Raceland & Greenup are in Greenup Co.

Ashland, Boyd and Rosehill are in Boyd Co.

[DevilsWin]

NOT....Russell, Raceland & Greenup are in Greenup Co.

Ashland, Boyd and Rosehill are in Boyd Co.

We have 6 schools all within 15 miles of each other.

[OffTheHook]

We have 6 schools all within 15 miles of each other.

I forgot about Fairview as well. But, It is called "Title Town". And they should at least go by what County they are in.

[DevilsWin]

We're all just one big happy family up here! LOL

[OffTheHook]

[THOMCAT]

I think they are asking about Title TOWN

Not Title COUNTY

Not Title REGION

Johnson Central is located within the city boundaries of Paintsville

How many of the schools mentioned are within the city boundaries of Ashland?

[herd_fan_1]
