This is the typical Pikeville response. The idea of superiority that makes them feel as this has not/can not happen to them in any scenario. I remember seeing Virgie beat Pikeville senseless in many middle school and high school basketball games in the last 10-15 years. I can remember one Middle School game @ Virgie in which they were up on Pikeville in the range of 50-6 at halftime and only ended up winning around 70-16.

The reason Coach Johnson and Pikeville needed to win by this amount is because it is fact that Pikeville has the largest inferiority complex of any school in the area. They "have" to be good at everything and no school is better in anything. The Coach knew as this was happening that he would be ruffling feathers and be the talk of the town for a little while. That's the kind of guy he is.

Like New-O said, post the entire game online and let us judge for ourselves.

I can't speak for others, but your generalization of Pikeville fans is far off base in my opinion. Now, I don't have access to middle school records, and have really only been going to those games over the past 4 or 5 years after being gone from the area almost 25 years, so I went back, and in high school, worst loss I found between these two teams (Valley and PHS) was a 39 point beating in the year valley won state. Prior to that, 31 points was the worst I could find that PHS lost all the way back to the 1997-98 school year.

I CAN tell you, there have been no beatings like that on the middle school/junior high level that I have seen in the past 4 or 5 years, unless you are referring to some C team game (usually 6th graders only)? And in the years I went through school myself, being at every single game from about 1978-1985, there was NEVER a beating that bad, maybe 20-30 points max either way. But don't get me wrong, I agree, I'd like to see this video posted too, because I want to see for myself what transpired in this game (I was traveling).
