[Fan of Jewell Field]

Congrats to Johnson Central on a very well played game. This was a very good and hard-fought game that was what high school sports should be about.
As a fan of Wayne County I hurt for our 12 seniors but have nothing but pride for a group that leaves as the winningest class in school history with 40 wins, two district championships, two region championships and a state championship game appearance......not too shabby at all.

Johnson Central was a first rate bunch and that's what I expected from any past dealings with folks from Paintsville area. I wished several well on my way out of the gate and will be pulling for them this Sunday night.
I'm not saying a good rivalry will develop, but it sure looks like these teams could keep their schedules open for Black Friday the next couple of years.
Also thanks for the kind words on Jewell Field, not the biggest setting for high school football, but sure one of the best. Safe travels and good luck Golden Eagles!
