[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

This latest fiasco in reporting falsely that Pikeville HS had hired a coach is the second time in just over a month that WYMT has excercised poor judgement and said things on the air about Pikeville High School or one of its athletes without any base of fact. Just rumor, innuendo, and quoting "reliable sources" without getting the official word are the only base they have. The first incident was during the WYMT tournament when one annoncer claimed on the air that he heard that Daniel Harmon was tranferring to "a school up the road". According to both Daniel and his Dad this was completely false. Some of these guys over in Hazard need to realize that they arent talking sports with a few freinds at a resturant. They are broadcasting out to hundreds of thousands of people so they might want to pick their topics of conversation and the words they use within those topics very wisely. Peoples livlihoods are at stake here.
