Paintsville vs. Johnson Central - Apple Bowl

[BlackcatAlum]

The Tigers will travel cross town to "The Nest" to take on there rival the Johnson Central Golden Eagles. The Eagles are coming off of a bye week and Paintsville is coming off of there 28-0 loss to Prestonsburg. Johnson Central should handle the Tigers. Good Luck to both.

Johnson Central- 56
Paintsville- 12

[GRIZZ]

Best of luck to both teams. Hope each team represents their school to their best and all the garbage that normally goes on between the two off the field will be held in check.

This should be a close game................................ Before kickoff...........

Johnson Central will control this one as soon as the coin is tossed and won't stop untill the final horn blows. Cross town rival after a loss and bye week. OUCH!!!!!!

My advice for Paintsville is to run the ball ALOT and get up slowly.....

[MCFan08]

good luck to both teams but i think johnson will come out on top in this one...

Too bad it same nite as Cats-Gamecocks tho. Should be able to leave by halftime, and get home for rest of UK game tho.

Like I said in an earlier post, I hope that all the garbage and non-realistic comments about the game would be held in check. Well it was but just for a little over a day. As for the score 101-0, thats far off from what should happen. Johnson Central will be out to make a point after losing their shot for a district title on their own field. This game means a lot to the people of Johnson County and probably more so to Johnson Central than Paintsville. The reason I say that is because at the start of the school year both schools put out ads talking about how great their schools are. Under achievements JC had District Champs, Regional Champs, which is very understandable because they had a **** of a year last season, but they boasted the fact that they were Apple Bowl Champs. If they were trying to put out all their bowl wins and team triumphs from last season, then why wasn't the Big Sandy RECC Bowl mentioned? Probably because the Apple Bowl means more to them than what some people actually put on when they say it is just another game. Also, I think it depends on the substitution used by JC in this game. If JC gets up like they did against Bryan Station then sub their JV in but bring back in the starters because Bryan Station continued to play their starters, then it will get pretty nasty. Paintsville has maybe 1/5 the amount of players that JC does so there really won't be a chance for them to bring a JV in during the course of the game and will probably have to play the starters the entire game since it is all that is all they have. I really could care less if JC wins by 100 or Paintsville wins by 100. The hype surrounding the game is mainly from outsiders looking in and not the players on the field. I just don't see why people cannot root for a hard fought game between the two instead of we rule, you suck, your momma stuff from the winning team. I lived it so I know what goes on. Sure you have some bragging rights but there is no need to hold it over someone for the rest of their life and that is what happens. This game has no positive outlook and they really should have done away with it after both schools were painted up, trash was dumped on JC's field, and Paintsville's practice sleds burnt by non-players back in 2001. The barrel is the worst thing that has happend to the two schools, I just wish they would either burn the dang thing or cut it in half and give each school their respective ends with their little plaques. It is very easy to schedule an Apple Day classic and have both schools play at one location and let the hose school keep the gate or split it. They will still probably make the same amount of money and it will cut out on all the bull**** that the Apple Bowl brings with it. Now with that said, I am a supporter of both schools but I just don't think that someone should be disrespected or have a grudge against someone because what colors they wear. All that I hope for is that this game doesn't do the normal tear the town apart for 2 weeks ordeal, an injury free game for both teams, and excellent sportsmanship from the fans, players, and coaches. Best of luck to both schools and see you all Thursday.

Where you gonna be Redneck? lol

IDK yet, but I'll be sure to let ya know...

[Redneck]

Good post GRIZZ...

[Ring'Em Up]

Yeah, i agree, real good post. But have to admit, it made me laugh also. Jus some of the examples you used and flashbacks to some of the goofy a$$ stuff thats went on before over this game.

Redneck talkin bout beer? I didnt know anyone drank beer on Apple Day??!!! It is good tho to numb the legs after all that standing around and walking.

And a heads-up to anyone that hasnt been to JC stadium since the new visitor bleachers were finished....They are WAYYYYYYYY better seats than the home side right now. Hopefully some of the Tiger maniacs wont be too harsh on some of us that sit over there in JC colors!!

Johnson Central, BIG! 49-0, nothing against Paintsville, but JC's just too good.

[Toaster]

1-0 Johnson Central.

That would be by forfeit, by the way, if Paintsville has a brain cell.

It's my understanding that this is the last apple bowl. Is this true???

They've been saying that for last 10 years, I really don't see it though the schools are making too much money from this game.

[GRIZZ]

During the next go around of scheduling games I don't think it would be that hard to try and bring in Prestonsburg and Lawrence Co. Have them play the game at one location on the same night and still make about the same amount of money if not more. Bring in some close teams that you know will bring a big crowd if those two are unavailable. Then the next year have them switch locations and teams. That would be my resolution to all the problems that this game brings. Just my opinion though.

[Dawg Family]

One thing this game will bring together is to young men that grew up together at Lawrence Co and played together sence they was 5 years old untill they both decided to transfer to were they are now Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Dials are two fine young men that play the game the way it should be played and thats with thier hearts and talent both these kids are good friends and this will be the last time they will be on the same field together they both have had some great battles together in the past and now it will agiants each other I hope they both have a good game and get the chance to enjoy and watch each other's abilty to play the game and when its all over go out and give each other a big old hug and wish each other the best . Because after all they was in the same family for a long time . The Dawg Family that is . Good luck to both teams in the famous Apple Bowl:PirateSho

That sounds good and all. But, finding a team that is willing to travel to the two locations year in and year out might be alittle hard. Pretty soon they will start asking for a cut. I say just keep the money in the county for both schools.

I hope this is the last Apple Bowl. Class 5a vs. Class A, have both schools get an opponent and exchange venues. Central has come of age in football. Coach M has been able to get kids to come out for football that are actuaully good for football. That wasn't the case for the first 37 years at JCHS. Central will continue to win at football, lose at basketball and swap outwith Paintsville back and fourth at baseball. That will continue until my kids are typing on bluegrass rivals.

I see where you are coming from, but after their two year contract is up find someone else. You could bring in Sheldon Clark, Pikeville, Belfry, Magoffin Co. and so on. I would also like to see them bring back the Big Sandy Bowl. That was always a good money maker and it allowed both schools to play a game on each others field. Have one keep the gate strictly from the BSB and the other from an Apply Day Classic or they can just split it down the middle.

What a completely ridiculous post!!!!!

Yeah I can see why you hope that this is the last year for the Apple Bowl. Heck you cant even get a score for 24 hours after a Paintsville game even when they win big over their district doormats. By the way,Johnson Central has been very good at football for about the last 12 years, minus the 3 years after Musick left. Musick had some extremely good teams. They also had some very good teams in the 70's as well under Tene VanHoose. Last 37 years is a completely ridiculous comment, although I agree that the 3 Humphries and Ross years were very bad .

As for basketball, Paintsville has not won a regional championship for the last 9 years and Johnson Central has won two of them in the same time frame, so I guess that makes Paintsville an even more losing program than Paintsville for the last DECADE. As far as losing I believe that Paintsville has had a couple of sub .500 years here lately, (and correct me if I am wrong but Johnson Central came very close to running Paintsville off their own home court this past season). After this year I would say it goes back to scheduling some of the cream puffs that Bill Mike scheduled about 3 years ago for several years to come. I'll even go out on a limb here and predict that after this year it will be a very long time before Paintsville will be able to even stay on the same gym floor with Johnson Central, and I predict the same apathy for the basketball program that you see for the football program right now after Bill Mike hangs it up. The numbers are up huge right now in preseason conditioning under Tommy's guidance. Johnson Central will be very good in basketball AGAIN in just a very short period of time.

As far as baseball, Central has had one final four team and one elite 8 team in the last 4 years, while Paintsville has not won a regional championship since what about 2001? I really like and respect the Paintsville baseball staff, and hope and expect they will continue to do well, but you will see for the most part kids stay put in their respective schools. You just tell me why a Johnson County player would want to venture away from the brand new facilities that are on the way. Johnson Central's baseball program the last four years have been one of the most successful programs east of Lexington. Sounds equally ridiculous.

I just hope your kids are able to keep their stats and facts in a little better order than you are doing when they start typing this "anti"-propaganda, that I wish would go away.

[BigEagle]

Mr. Kimball, YOUR AN IDOT!!!!!!! JC is not the TEAM, you think they are. So they finally win some, so they are KING of the area, don' think so. They should have been winning a long time ago. Finally, if they sucked against Woodford County that bad, we are really going to look bad in the play off if we make there.

Considering you are a Paintsville poster masking as a Johnson Central poster I have to say that I am very honored by your post. :)

I sincerely take it as a compliment. It just reinforces the obvious.

:) This is the most idiotic and ridiculous post I have seen on this site. Mr. Kimball is very knowledgable and speaks the truth. I think maybe you can ask for some knowledge of JC from Mr. Kimball because it seems you have very little. I am wondering if you are even in high school yet. I think that the Woodford was a wakeup call and every team needs to have a good whuppn every now and then. I think Mr. Kimball hit the nail on the head when he says you will see JC become very elite in all its sports with the new facilities and the coaches they have in place at the present time. I wish the best of luck to both schools and have a great apple bowl if it is the last.

I wish it was still like the good ole days and when I played where the game could go either way. Much more exciting games. I think the most exciting one I participated in other than my Senior year was the game my Sophomore year, and we lost that game by 8.

Johnson COUNTY has the best bunch of kids in the state. They feed into 2 high schools. Most of these young kids are very good friends. They are smart enough to not give up a life long friendship for 4 quaters of a football game. Both teams will leave everything they have on the field. And that is all we can ask out of young kids. JC has a great chance of going all the way this year and that is something that all of Johnson County can be proud of. I will be in blue and white but know and love all those young men that will walk on that field in black and gold tonight. We do not limit our kids to only having friends from Paintsville. As with every sporting event I hope we have a injury free game.

:Thumbs: :Thumbs: :Thumbs: Very good post. I feel the same way. My best friend in a Tiger grad and although my son is in the county school system he has many friends that are Tigers and that is the way that it should be. That is the way that sports should be, go out and try to beat them on the field and after the game it's over, go on with life. I hope it is a hard hitting game and that the good Lord looks over both teams and keeps them injury free.

[pvilletigerfan]

Good luck to my boys in blue tonight. I agree with the last two posts...well said.
