Will Other schools in the future drop Football.

Pulp Fiction Wrote:Sheldon Clark has seen enrollment drop the past few years. SC has been moved down to 2A for the next realignment. The new Martin County high school (that feels like it has been under construction since the Truman presidential administration) will be completed this school year. I highly doubt the only (and brand new) high school in Martin County will close down due to enrollment, but you never know. Students would probably be transferred to Johnson Central, Paintsville, Lawrence County and/or Prestonsburg. It would be an absolute shame to see the SC classmates be divided up between four different schools.

Johnson Central & Paintsville - 28 miles.
Lawrence County - 28 miles.
Prestonsburg - 14 miles.

These distances are from high school to high school. Not sure how close the nearest West Virginia school is from Martin County, but I could see some kids from the Warfield area going that route if Martin County ever did close.


Martin County is twice the size of several counties in Kentucky - plus every county in Kentucky has at least one high school.
No student in the history of the state has ever been moved by the state from one county high school to an independent district in another county, so the Paintsville option is impossible.
All the independent districts would be more likely to close than Sheldon Clark, plus Phelps.
