Floyd County students take high honors at JV competition

FLOYD COUNTY, Ky. (WTVQ) – Several Floyd County schools and students did well in the recently completed 2020 Kentucky Association for Academic Competition’s JV Challenge.

According to Floyd County Schools Superintendent Danny Adkins, students from Floyd Central High, Prestonsburg High, Pikeville High and Shelby Valley High competed. The JV Challenge is a competition for freshmen and sophomores.

“Congratulations to Floyd Central, Section 16 Runner Up Overall and in Quick Recall! We want to congratulate our students from Floyd Central and Prestonsburg High School on their performance in the JV Challenge as individuals and as teams! While these students are familiar with academic competition, they’re not used to having Governor’s Cup events online. I guess that’s why I’m even more impressed with these students than usual. These students are showing us that while we are in very different circumstances, we can still do what we do and excel,” Adkins commented.
