YOu are right, PV has been down but there are a good group of athletes to work with there right now. Another thing to consider is they have a very tough schedule from the get go. The right person in place and putting the focus on the were the struggle is can produce a better team I believe and get the most out of what is there.

Trying to figure out how old state titles translates to a new coach that didn't have anything to do with them, shoots him to the front of the pack? Pretty crazy logic. And how is BI some shoe-in? You can say huge turn around, but not anywhere to go but up when you're having winless, 1, 2 win seasons.

And no, PV's days are over, the LPD's days are over. Its not some PV hate talking, consolidation is going to take place and I don't see this return to the glory days that quickly before consolidation- like it matters anyway, all of this will be forgotten(even more so) in a decade.

Kevin Saunders was the one that facilitated the turnaround at Kelly, BI was just he recipient of what Saunders did. Yes BI has kept it going but hasn't really progressed it any, if Saunders were still there Kelly makes it deep in the playoffs a few times.

PV's history? Right....

Calm down everyone. I know PV's history. They produced the greatest high school player I ever got to see play (Thomas Jones), I sat in the stands at Norton and saw him run for almost 400 yards. I have been to PV many times. I have rooted for them and against them many times. I saw the PV-Appy game nine straight years, during the nineties and early two thousands. I know PV's place in history, but in two years PV will not exist anymore, they will be ?high in a school consolidation. So in all honesty it really does not matter, you can either see it or you can't. I just hope that Norton doesn't join so they can play A football, because if they do the two schools will AA and that is probably the hardest division to win in VHSL.

if you were in teh stand at norton like you say you were, then you know its not almost 400, its OVER 400, 462 if i remember correctly.

I guess since I couldn't remember exact number I wasn't at game. But whatever. What are the Powell Valley people going to do when it is gone. Meet at Bullitt Park every Friday @ 7:30 and sit in the stands and imagine. Good luck with that. Maybe you and whoever the last coach at Powell Valley is can coach the pretend team to the state title, maybe that's how PV will be that good again, it will be in your mind. Roll Tide.

keep flapping those gums, do you really think Wise Co. will ever get anything done?

have we (wise co.) ever shown that this thing might ever get finished?

if BSG keeps a school, I will make it my own personal goal to do everything possible to make PV a winner again.

we were winners before, we've been winners for years, and we will continue to win.

you dont kill tradition, it only takes small breaks. Were the Steelers down for long? Was USC down for long? Alabama? the Yankees? GC didnt win a state title for like 25 years between the 70's and 90's, were they dead?

That was my freshman year. Without Question Thomas Jones is the best player IMO to come out of this area... I mean... Look at what hes done in HS and College, and hes Playing it Professionally. Thats enough to give him my vote. I remember that game tho... terrible memories.

I really wanted to bears to win the Superbowl the year they went.. Im sure most of you guys did too.. who COUDLN'T want that for Either of the Jones'?

Let me put it in simple terms: It's like when you are filling out a job application for head chef at a nice restaurant and you have 6 years at Mcdonald's as head burger flipper(Coeburn) or 2 years at the Gordon Ramsay in London (Powell Valley). Which do you think looks better? I know what most people would say, but if you think this is crazy logic then I might can make it a little more simple for you. Just let me know and I will do my best.
