It’s a good move for him. I look for Pikevilles coach to start looking at a bigger school in the near future. Class A is about done and if you wanna continue coaching you best be ready to make a move.

Can I ask what you mean by about done?
The KHSAA will have to start looking at the numbers situation when it comes to small class A schools.We are all in agreement that the numbers are declining.Soon they will have to drop a class.I assume the would sweep all of class a and 2A into one class.When that happens what do you think will happen to schools like Paintsville, Pikeville, Raceland, NCC and Hazard? These are schools typically in the top five in class A every year.On average they will do good to finish in the top 10-15 in a ....if you wanna call it a super class.Now before some of you Pikeville fans crawl up my ass and assume I’m saying you can’t compete if this happens well....your right! That’s what I’m saying! Not like you do currently.if this happens...and I know it’s a big of but if it does happen that’s why I’m saying single A football as we’ve come to know it the last 15 years will be over.It’s a good time to get out before this happens.Joe done a good thing and others need to take notes and be looking .....that’s all I’m saying 

That would basically be how 1A used to be in the 4 class system.  If you look at the teams that won 1A before 2007 you will find teams that are currently 2A schools and the current 1A contenders very rarely made it to the championship game.  As far as Paintsville goes, I sincerely hope they can keep being competitive so the class can be somewhat strong.

At one time signal A football was the most competitive football in the state. You had teams like Beechwood going across state lines and beating Moller. It was so competitive from top to bottom that the playoffs were a war ...a true war! It’s cupcake city and the sad thing is Blaze .....our Rams still don’t have a championship
