Several years back it did not matter whether JC was 5A or Pville was 1A the competition was there. Now that JC is more dominate it's all about what class each team is in. When Pville was winning the games no one cared was class they were in. Now, It's all about the ability to win.

While that's true, understand it's an indictment on how badly Johnson Central had squandered all of its advantages in previous years.

Now that Central has its act together, this matchup now goes the way it should always have been. It's NOT a big deal to beat Paintsville (for Central), and, what's more, it never should have been.

Though not to the same extent, the same kind of thing is now happening in Pike County with Belfry's annual win over Pikeville. Yes, the win is good for the bigger school, but they should almost always be be -expected- to win.
