Bluefield researcher 1,195 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 I have been to Hazard and Letcher and there are no visitor stands. There are not any at Prestonsburg either. Most of the small school new stadiums do not have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that stands out to me is the number of athletic looking kids. Don't seem to be any "filler" kids. They all look like they belong where they're at. Lean, muscular, athletic. Even the big boys aren't simply big. I read this on bluegrass rivals in reference to Paintsville players... ...31-32 players, and 20+ are transfers? You’re absolutely correct. There are more players on our roster from other systems than players that are originally from our system.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely can't afford many injuries but it is impressive how good they are with 30 kids Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am almost positive when Haysi played LCC in their first year in 2005, they had visitors seats then... Anyone know about Pikeville? Pike County Central does not have visitors seats either. Paintsville does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know about Pikeville? Pike County Central does not have visitors seats either. Paintsville does. No Letcher definitely doesn't it's awful having to sit with them while cussing out the refs.

Up on the hill across from the Walmart. I see a dirt mound on the visitors side on the satellite. I am almost certain that was once bleachers in that spot.

I know for a fact that I was on the visitors side for that game in 2005. I might not have been sitting, but I was definitely at the least standing on that side in 05.

Bluefield researcher 1,195 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 They played at the old Whitesburg stadium until the new one was built. There are no visitors bleachers there now. I was just there this summer taking pictures. https://www.scbarchitects.com/projects/letcher-county-high-school-athletic-complex/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokie777 72 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Paintsville is lots of passing . My thoughts are that Union force a lot of 3 and outs and ground and pound the ball forcing Paintsville defense to be on the field a lot.Wear them down. I think Union wins this one 42 to 28.. Paintsville has the refs on their side. Union needs to protect the ball . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been played in BSG, I'll be super confused if Paintsville gets home cooking, KY style, there. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Back in 05 they had the small mobile bleachers on the visitors side, its my understanding that those have since been done away with and everyone sits in the main stands. I don't think Letcher Central ever played anywhere but where they play now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the few games my brother got to play in 2004 for Haysi. I think I remember them having a fairly nice facility for a smaller school.

Plywood_King 518 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Well, the million dollar question isn't whether or not they have away bleachers, but whether or not they have a PA to play gratuitous amounts of Tyler Childers music all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 I have to admit I'm really excited to play Paintsville. Love playing a never before seen opponent and watching how they respond to the atmosphere. Going to be a tough opponent and a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a Basketball school. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
