There are plenty of us on here. Plenty. Most of us who've been around a while (and I was on Bluegrass Preps back in 2000 for our FIRST undefeated season, I remember very well arguing with the Pikeville fans about which team was better that year) don't come on here waving the black and gold flag daily. Some of our younger fans may not remember, but most of the 1990s we did NOT average 10 wins a year; in fact, when I was in high school, we won nine games in four years. Our "tradition" is based on about eight or nine decent seasons out of over thirty years as a football playing institution, and we still haven't played in a state final yet. Our mountain neighbors in Breathitt and Belfry have multiple rings, so we've got a way to go to even get to that level (although I admit, if we played in the old 2A or 3A now, we might have one or two of those also). To expect fans of teams like Highlands with 18 state championships to talk about us and respect us is absurd until we do something that commands their respect. I am very proud of what Coach Matney and the team and boosters and fans have accomplished in the last four years, and it's good to see other people being proud as well. But we need a sense of perspective: there are teams better than us right now, and they've been better for decades, and they will continue to be better until we pull ourselves up to their level on a consistent basis. To sum it up, I don't think other teams hate us, I just don't think they're going to notice us until we consistently make statements (on the field, not on the internet) that make them take notice of us.

OK, folks, we're up to 47 posts on the school nobody likes. 47 Posts and nothing negative about JC. C'mon now, where is the hate????:lol:

Who Is Johnson Central?

Who Is Johnson Central?

 

Little ol' school down in Johnsonville. Drive out to the middle of nowhere, take a left. Can't miss us.

The exact same thing I tell people about Harlan Co, Just no Johnsonville. :ylsuper:

They have averaged 10 wins a season over the past 4 years? I would like to see any other public school (except for Highlands of course) to even match those stats.

 

Glad you're here, Ryan. This is a unique place to learn a lot about KY football, from all corners of the state.

 

For instance, there are several public schools who have at least averaged 10 wins per season over the last 4 years.

 

Russell has won as many games as any program in the state during that span, 51. Belfry and Bowling Green have each won 50 and Beechwood and Bell Co have won 44. Ft Campbell has 43, Male 50 and Lou. Central has 39, just to name a few.

 

Johnson Central is right up there with 38

 

And would you believe Highlands has only 33 wins on the KHSAA record books over the last 4 years?

Just for the record and for what it's worth (which is probably nothing) I don't hate Johnson Central at all. As a matter of fact I admire the JC program.

I am a fan of the Eagles as long as they are not playing Belfry.

 

There are more Eagle fans on here than you may think, in fact at one point not too long ago I'd say there were more JCHS fans on here than any other school.

Completely forgot about Belfry.

Prestonsburg, Breathitt County, and a few surrounding counties put up signs during the 2006 season, Central's best season to date, saying "X Miles to Nowhere" (X being the distance in miles)

I for one have many friends in Johnson County and I have a lot of respect for Coach Matney. I think they are a quality football team and I think they could make a lot of noise in the playoffs this year. Good luck to Coach Matney and the Golden Eagles. Oh yea, a special shout out to the fat man and his family, you know I love you guys!:jump:

I don't follow you.

Ive been to one Johnson Central game and thought the atmosphere for football was incredible. Not to mention that I love their style of play.

I don't follow you.

 

I -think- he's referring to the faux the CovCath radio announcer made 2 yrs. ago in his show once it became known CC would play Central where he referred to the game being in "Johnsonville".

 

Some folks put up "X miles to NOWHERE" (meaning...there is no Johnsonville) signs to welcome the CovCath bunch coming up the Parkway. Heck, there were "Welcome to Johnsonville" signs put up at the Paintsville city limits, too. I think a couple of the culprits were members here at the time... :lol:

 

Though it was all done in fun, possibly Ryan may have taken it out of context and applied it to his "Johnson Central gets no respect" thesis.

Oh I beg to differ...there are Johnsonville's in Harlan County...If you don't believe me just check my grill on Friday night.:thumb:
