This has been talked about for along time. Nothing serious, just "barber shop talk". Paintsville being an independent school system and Johnson Central being a public school system, the chance of these two ever consolidating is alomst impossible.

Right after I moved to Richmond, Madison High and Madison Central consolidated. I believe they were in the same scenario you mentioned. So I wouldn't say it is almost impossible.

Just a comment a little off the subject but something that I am sure that a lot of Johnson Central fans dont know is that the school colors were almost changed at one time in the 70's from Black and Gold to a proposed Red, White, and Blue. It went so far as to actually go to a vote.

 

Obviously it was voted down.

 

Wow. I like the idea of showing you support for the colors on the flag but that would have been one ugly Eagle.

 

Before Johnson Central opened the existing Johnson County High School's (Flat Gap, Oil Springs, Meade and Van Lear) voted on the schools mascot and school colors the colors were Red, White and Blue and the mascot was the Patriots

 

I prefer "Golden Eagles" and "Black and Gold"

I agree 100%. Nothing sounds better than "Touchdown Golden Eagles" and then the Bomb Squad shooting the cannon. I hope they take it over to P-ville this year and set it up at one of the endzones. Also welcome to Bluegrass Preps and good to have another one in the JC family.:thumb:

I don't like this talk about not playing the Apple bowl. Are we going to stop in other sports. NO! Keep it going. P-ville will be up again someday and then it will be fun again.

Thanks and I'm glad to be here. Hope they can take the cannon over also, I just don't know where they would set it up is there enough room around the endzone?
