No way that happens. Give me one reason why he would leave Paintsville.

Interesting comparisons:
-both list less than 20 incoming upperclassmen
-both have as many current freshmen than returning Sophs and Jrs combined
-new alignment will give both an opportunity to win the region but likely toughest competitor within the district
-both have big roadblocks in state semifinals (Beechwood in 2A, Pikeville and Hazard in 1A)
-both have larger county school they have to compete with

On paper these 2 are much more similar than many want to admit. The key may be which one has better incoming groups to work with in the new alignment. Someone else familar with the middle schools groups may be able to shed some light on that front and come up with an answer to the question.
