is it time for Central to change to Wise Central?

[starbuck]

it was clearly in the rules to not have a town name in the new names, that's the most obvious breaking of that rule and the entire reason it IS Central and not Wise/WC Central as originally proposed.

So was the rules clearly stated that the old school colors from the 2 existing schools consolidating into one was not to be used. Central used Red and Black - 2 prime colors from Pound and Kelly.

to make it official, this media guy IS complaining. I NEVER call them Central. Maybe next year, or the year after, but not this year, because the casual listener has NO idea who/where "Central" is, OR they think Sullivan Central, because that's the only one they've heard of b4.
Over in KY, there's no problem, because the Centrals all have the co. in the name. In the county, you just call them Central; I'm sure if you were to say Central's playing Clintwood tonight while over in Harlan Co., they'd think HCC, not the one in Wise Co.

Considering both schools had red in their colors, the exception was made, plus black incorporated as well...so you just answered your own riddle. It was a different case with Appy's blue and and PV's for example. If "Wise" wasn't the name of one town, you could probably get away with it in the other two name changes. People can't appreciate how the anti-side picked apart everything and complained, the few papers/wcyb that cover us can't appreciate it either. Really don't understand how confusing it is, everyone around here knows exactly where it is and people in a lot of area's do as well, at least they are as familar with it as they were JJK or JIB...most don't have a clue where the hell they were/are before if they didn't play us and if someone is playing us and don't know where we are, then why are they even playing us? I don't know where half of the schools are located around here, didn't have a clue where Thomas Walker or Twin Valley was for the longest time and it's the same way with a lot of people and other schools...if they don't have to make the trip, they couldn't care less. If you don't know where Central is, you probably don't know where Eastside is either, why does it even matter?

This isn't even considering that the STUDENTS picked the names, the vote was taken with the public and then within the schools, the top names were picked from them and student/parent committee's equally rep. from both schools chose those names/colors/mascots. Changing the name to that not only creates problems from the anti-side, but I don't think the students would be too thrilled with the admin. changing what they picked, designed the logo's for and have embraced just so a few people might know where one of the schools are located as if it's the least bit relevant to them. Way too much hassle for really no reason whatsoever.
