[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

Pikeville is an excellent academic school...a new prinicpal and athletic director will make changes as he/she feels is needed...parents need to give the principal and athletic diretor time and enjoy the fact that their child/children is/are receiving a top notch education...

Really? According to the test scores theve been slipping in that department too. A School isnt just about what lessons are learned in the classroom. What a child learns in athletics such as how to be part of a team, how to be a part of something bigger than you are, and how to perform under pressure in extreme circumstances are just a few of the things that a child learns in sports that they could never learn from a text book in a class room. Im not downplaying academics at all Im just saying for the kids who are fortunate enough to be student athletes the 2 work hand in hand. Why should we just set back and be happy and give the administration time? Theve been at their respectvie positions for several years while Copley only got one year as HC.
