Was over at Valley today drove by before I wnet to the p-burg n pville game. And I have to say is wow!!!!!!! The field looks great the endzones are blue and every one said its gonan be a big SV at the middle of the field I have heard it was gonan be the Kstate Wildcat they have on there helmets this year. Which by theway is my avatar!. But the field is looking great the new uniforms they got last year look aweosme, a new scored board and sound system would be completely awesome something we really need. The turf is not like Belfrys and Pville being with the rubber. It looks like carpet. Saunders is a great coach. Wish I could had him for a coach. Hurts my feelings 2 years after i graduate we get turf and kick *** uniforms lol.

Don't you love how some Pike County teams get everything while others get nothing? Other sports are cut funding for fields, etc while the big schools in the county get turf put down..... do the same thing for EVERY county school or don't do it for any! Just my opinion!

Don't blame the school system, blame the community.
The Pike Co school board is not paying for turf at these schools...it is being paid for with private donations and sponsorships.

Yep... with the help of our state representative WHO BTW resides in Phelps!!! Kudo's for all the hard work in getting the turf!! I think what was meant by the earlier post was if it takes 5 years for our "coal severance" money to be put to use then put it to use by giving EACH school the same thing! I hope they enjoy it!!! and congrats again on "steppin" up in the football world!!!

Isnt TECO(Clintwood elkorn mining) paying for the SV turf ?

From what I have heard, there is to be turf laid for the next 3 years at different area schools each year. ER is next, the PC, and Phelps.... of course... this is all hearsay so don't quote me!!! LOLOL....

Wasnt it last year when the Valley people was crying over turf? They dont even have it done yet or even practiced or played on it and already think they are superior for getting it....

I'm still wondering why the board spent all of this money on Shelby Valley football... Are you sure that they need turf?

I believe it is a poor assumption that the Pike Co BOE spent ANY $$$ on the turf.
The official statements I have seen are that it was paid for with private and corporate donations...there has been NO verification of school money going to the field there.

09-06-2006, 09:58 PM
I don't get jealous.... I went to Pikeville High School. I simply believe that there are many other places where this kind of money can be spent in order to make an impact.... I am sure that others agree.... turf is nice when the district is swimming in money.... I am just not positive that that is the case here! Good luck to the Wildcats.... hope your season is what everyone is expecting and enjoy the new turf.....

Alright Let's Go Ahead And Put An End To All Of The Haters In Pike County. The Board Of Education Did Not Spend A Dollar On This Turf. The Shelby Valley Community Raised The Money And Had Private Donations From Places Like Teco And Community Trust Help Pay For It. Quit Whinning About How Money Can Be Spent, The People Around Here Decided What To Do With The Money, The Boe Had No Say On Anything, I Mean Come On, Why Are You All Complaining, Atleast Valley Is Trying To Do Something With The Football Program.

Personally, they are in high school.... turf is a great PERK, it is by no means a necessity.... Men have played football on grass for many many years.... a few high school boys playing the game on it is not big deal!

schools decided to get turf thats great, but not when everyone without is crying. stop being babies and go out and get the donations and get the turf (if you want it) yeah we have played football on grass since the inception of the sport, but big friggin deal about the turf.

I drove by and looked at the new field yesterday. I dont know about the blue end zones. I dont think that really looks to good on a football field but to each his own I think. I thought there was going to be a big blue SV in the middle of the field? But from what it looks like, the field is completed, they just need to do the side lines where the players stand and stuff.
