JC by however many mayney wants it to be......no one looks at the fact that paintsville can recruit but its always central is bigger...who cares when paintsville was wearing central out no one was throwing a fit cause paintsville can recruit so get over it.......and it dont matter if central had 10,000 and paintsville had 1,000....on the football field u r only allowed 11 players on offense and 11 on defense......imo matney just has the tigers number and no one likes that

Someone preferring to attend the city school isn't "recruiting". Besides, Paintsville is no more allowed to recruit than is any other public school.

Paintsville, by and large, has had much more stability in their athletic programs, not to mention the appeal in playing for a recently retired coach (in another sport). Also, it's been parents wanting to send their child to a better academic school, or a safer school environment.

Much of that is now disappearing. That's good for Johnson Central and good for all students of the county.
