bigcotton 40 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 It's going to get ugly real fast already 2-0 rv. With rv on jenkins 10 only one m8n. Into the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash 4 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Ridgeview just to much for Jenkins 65 to 8. Quick clock started in the 1st quater. Mullins called his dogs off early, but the 2nd and 3rd string held it together as well.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRat24 274 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Jenkins only fielded 15 or so players? Did I understand that right? Or did you mean fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwood78 161 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I counted 14 players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 16 players, 21 fans  Ridgeview was in a real pickle to find a 10th game and took what they could get(buy). Horrible game, nothing good came out of it for either team.  2 injuries;  #10 for Jenkins. It looked bad. Gauge Hill for Ridgeview. He hurt his knee, I wont speculate on the injury but I have a pretty good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000wave 67 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 It was a sad game IMO. Bless Jenkins heart. redtiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRat24 274 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I mean....with those numbers they should be on the verge of not fielding a team and let the boys who want to play travel to put forth their efforts on another team. But hats off to those boys who play on both sides of the ball every snap. They have to have alot of heart knowing that their chances of being great is very slim yet they came out this summer to practice just to play on Friday nights. I just hate to hear that for those boys. And it's a shame that more fans didn't come to support them. If all family members were still alive their should have been no less than 32 fans there providing they didn't have jobs that wouldn't allow them to be there.

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Haysi played them some years ago and there wasnt more than 50 fans when we went over there. Very small school, very small community. They had some size(not athletic but big) and some quickness(very small players) but were vastly outmatched. It was honestly the worst game I have every seen.

RiverRat24 274 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I wasnt sure of the size or population of the town of Jenkins. I knew they was small but had no clue they were that small. I had in my mind that they were like Shelby Valley which is actually a decent sized school. Ridgeview would have been better off if they could have found a TN school across the line to play them.....maybe North, South, or even TN High. That didn't help those boys any at all tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West12aaa 99 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Letcher county remind me of lee county va. 2 schools, football is lopsided and basketball is even.  Jenkins is an extremely small town much like ewing, while Whitesburg and parts of Knott county all collide to form Letcher central. I think Jenkins is 1 a and Letcher central is 3 a, like Jonesville, pen gap, and Flatwoods make up lee high  I worked in hazard for about a year, I have a little knowledge.

RiverRat24 274 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 So these kids just get the sh*tty end of the stick I guess you could say when it comes to numbers of students due to the schools being fairly close together but yet not consolidated? Or maybe I misunderstood that completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Jenkins keeps their city status but the kids get screwed. All of Letcher county is consolidated except Jenkins. Letcher Central is up around 1,000 students while Jenkins is around 150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRat24 274 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Okay well i did read it right then. That's a shame for those kids. Might as well combine them and raise the school numbers by another 150 or 200 students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Only way to do that is for Jenkins to renounce their city status and they wont. I have yet to fully understand the benefits of being a city, other than having control of how things are done locally. Its really not good for the kids overall imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRat24 274 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Yea that's pretty ridiculous. Â I'm guessing there was no way to tell tonight whether Ridgeview had sharpened up a few sloppy areas of their game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverRat24 274 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Well.....as much as I like sports they are probably better off then. Education goes a long ways. The boys that roughed them up in high school will probably be working for them one day haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I cant see how with such a small school the education could be better. Theres no way the students have access the resources that the kids at Letcher have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not for the consolidation of any school, 1v1 attention is more important than anything, unless you are LeBron or Tim couch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beamerball 566 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Our schools aren't that big even after consolidation, by size we're still average or below. Kids that need one on one attention should still be able to get it at any of the consolidated schools, along with the extra/improved resources. Sometimes the scores go down versus a bit smaller school, but I often believe that's just more kids who don't really care being added in to the equation. redtiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
