Unreal that Pikeville can have any say on where Hazard goes. How does Pikeville have that pull????

Jackson Counties arguement was pretty funny. When looking at Road mileage the difference is not that much between districts? I guess they measured as the crow flies. Corbin and Bell fans will outnumber anyone else they could bring to Jackson Co. I am going to say the first time Bell plays at Jackson it will be a record crowd for the Generals?

I can respect Jackson County's honesty though. They are basically admitting that they want to stay in a weaker district because it will help grow their program. It's a parallel to the teams that withdraw form district competition (or at least the proper reason why they should). As it stands now Jackson County is competing for a 3 Seed at best and a road playoff game... if they were with their old district it is not out of the realm of possibilities they could be competing for a District Title with Breathitt's program's issues on the horizon.

The ripple effect of winning..or even competing for a District Title... could have a huge positive role on the growth of their program.
