Any chance any kids coming from JC to Paintsville?

Living in such a small community as Paintsville, there is always going to be hearsay and rumors because the kids from both sides are good friends. However, being a JC fan, I would say probably not.

If kids were going to transfer it would have been last season and it happened with Belcher. He felt it was the best move for him at the time. JC was very youthful last season and have a lot returning to a team that went 11-1. They now no longer has to have Highlands, Cov Cath, Lex Cath, or Boyle...which were 4 of the top programs in the state. The road to BG looks much easier for JC.

Paintsville will still have to compete with Pikeville, Williamsburg, Hazard, Raceland, Fairview, etc to get there. For that reason I say not, but you never know. Either way, Paintsville is going to be tough with what they return and Phelps back in the mix.
