To try to get this back on topic, I want to say this. I think Phelps as well as every high school in the country should have a football team. There will be times when even the small schools do very well, and other times when they dont. Every year cant be a great season. Every school at times has down years. What are they supposed to do, not have a team on the down years? How would they ever have any up years if the players do not get any experience when times are down? The reason for sports is not really to win every game. The players, coaches and schools hope so. The reason for sports in the school systems is to help teach teamwork. For the players to have a reason to keep their grades up. To try to be one of the lucky ones who may get a free ride in college. I think the question asked shouldnt be should Phelps still have a football team. But the question should be when are the coaches on some teams going to remember that they are employed by the school system as eductors and not just there to try to embarass other teams.

As far as what the other arguements in the other posts are concerned. I have watched Pikeville play football threw three different coaches. I have never seen them act like it was said on here about kicking and punching after plays. Teams like Pikeville, Belfry, Shelden Clark, and Paintsville have to much class and disipline to allow their players to do that. But I will say I was not at the game, so I dont know that for a fact that it didnt happen. I am just saying I have not seen it in the past and it would really surprise me if it did.
