Pikeville to State in 07'???

[PLAYBOY5]

Just wanted to hear what some of you all think about this topic..They are returning 25 seniors which in UNHEARD of in a 1A school. Feel free to speaketh your opinion, lol..

[TRAIN85]

I think they have a real good chance to make some noise in '07

[Panther#42]

If Pikeville gets the guys out to play and hits the weights hard this offseason they should cause alot of upsets next year

[IRISH4]

With 25 seniors they should go very deep into the playoffs, but one thing would stand in their way...Beechwood or New Cath. Plus next season they would travel to region 3, but even if they make it there they would have to beat Danville or Mayfield. Anything can happen.

[football_fan]

They have alot of big time players coming back so they should do quite well! like Irish4 said they should go deep into the playoffs. People better watch out for the Panthers next year!

[Meaty]

Pikeville will have a great chance of making state with 25 seniors on the roster. Big numbers from the twins and Harmon next year. Epecially with the new alignment coming with the west and north super teams moving up. Danville, NewCath is I know moving up but im not sure about Mayfield and Beechwood. I look for P'Ville to make some noise next year!!!

[Boomer86]

Pikeville should do some serious damage next year....25 seniors? talk about leadership!

[BlackcatAlum]

25 Seniors WOW! There is some teams in 1A that don't have 25 players on there teams...But IMO if they stay healthy and Tim can be a consistent QB next season than they should at least make it to State Semi's.

Just because a player is a senior doesn't automatically make him a good leader.

[All-American Lineman]

25 seniors, dang they should be a great ball team next year.

[PantherPride68]

With 25 seniors they should go very deep into the playoffs, but one thing would stand in their way...Beechwood or New Cath. Plus next season they would travel to region 3, but even if they make it there they would have to beat Danville or Mayfield. Anything can happen.Actually Danville and NCC will no longer be in 1a next year.

[JumperFootball]

If they do what they need to do in the offseason i think its a very real possibility for them

[15thRegionSlamaBamma]

what is their lines looking like next year is the majority of them returning if so you talk about one heck of a running game...the line this year did really well just think about if the have another year to mature and get stronger...Pikeville makes it to the semis IF the come ready to play in the playoffs unlike last week

[bball fan]

Unless something changes, they could have 25 seniors and no leaders!! Some of these seniors better grow up and learn what it takes to be true leader. Leaders don't continue to have the same mental lapses that cost the team yards every game with dumb penalties. Leaders don't let the opposing team drive it right down thier throat on the last drive of the game like Belfry and Hazard did. Leaders don't talk about the Beechwood game when it is three games away. They days of teams rolling over just because they are playing Pikeville appear to be over. I hope these seniors-to-be prove me wrong but so far they have been underachievers!!

[IRISH4]

Thanks for the correction, I guess I'm still used to the 4 class system which has been the way for as long as I can remember.

[softbally_8]

I do not think so because they did not go this year. And I do not think that they will have the team to go to state in 2007.

NCC & Mayfield did not go to state year before last, but they went last year... Russell didn't go the year before, but they did last year, Bowling Green and Lex. Cath didn't go to state year before last, but they both did last year
Dosen't matter if you haven't been to state in 50 years, all's you need is leadership, commitment, courage, work ethic, talent, and heart. These things along w/ others makes a championship team... The returning seniors have ALL of these... We do have leaders..But the ones we have need to work a little bit mentally before they can lead the team
Well I think we will prove alot of doubters wrong.. You never know who's going to win it w/ the new class alignment next year

[All_state_RB#1]

25 seniors thats unheard of.. people better fear the panthers next year..

[Boomer86]

Your right fox, it does mean that he SHOULD be a good leader though

Four out of five starters return on the O-line. Two starters and two others who saw plenty of action return on the D-line.

[kysportsguru]

It's going to be the same old pikeville You don't know whats going to happen when they step on the field next season. Also they won't make it out of the first round of the playoffs again next season

I agree you never know what your going to get out of them,BUT...they do have a chance to make some serious noise next year. By the way Pikeville beat Jenkins in the first round this year, and Im pretty sure they will make it threw the 1st and 2nd rounds next year and be district champs. I could always be wrong!

[15thRegionSlamaBamma]

thats not bad at all Coach Jackson will have them ready he just cant make a bad play call like he did this year against Hazard...

Also i look for Harmon to be a big Leader next season he is young but still

[hillbilly]

QB and leadership are the keys to their season.

The days of rolling over have been gone for a few years(mid nineties). Crazy penalties have killed them all year (some deserved and some phony). This team has endured a lot of adversity and at times did not handle it well. Only time will tell on how much growing up will be done. The actual junior class is 22 right now, with another 4 who have began lifting for next year. They did have over 30 lifting in weights on Monday which is a good start.

25 seniors this, 25 seniors that, 25 seniors here, 25 seniors there...I really could care less if they have 100 seniors...everybody knows, and even Pikeville fans know that as long as Beechwood is around, the season ends with a big L...providing they get that far.

Beechwood is not even in the regional championship this year, nor is Pikeville.
Whether Pikeville has 25 seniors or not next year, they need to focus on Pikeville being focused one game at a time, instead of playing to their competition.

Exactly, you can't win games looking ahead and I think that has showed, Pikeville will learn through their mistakes and over come for next year

Beechwood was around back in the 80's and that didn't stop them. In 99' the Panthers had Beechwood beat by 2 TD's late in the 4th and a crap call on the offensive coordinators call got a pick and then it went down hill... Panthers lost their composure.
Pikeville has beated Beechwood before and they'll do it again, just because your team won't make it that far dosen't mean you have to say other teams won't as well.

I remember that game in '99. The Panthers had an excellent offense with Akers and crew. Had the Beechies beat then lost it in the last minutes...what was the final score of that one? Anywho, it was a good game...and I look for Pikeville to be crowned district champs next season and maybe regional champs...returning way too much talent in a district that isn't very good.

[HazzBeen]

I look for the Panthers to have a very good year next year. Their record may not be great because Jackson likes to schedule hard teams to prepare his team for the playoffs. However, you guys can't be satisfied with this year. A lot of people are getting on here and telling you how great your season was, and at a lot of schools it would be. You guys GET to wear the maroon and white and standards are a little higher whether you like it or not. Anything less than a regional championship, semi-finals, or state championship doesn't cut it. Everyone knows what you have coming back next year, so get in the weight room and bring Pikeville back to where it needs to be...State Champions!

[Watusi]

Are we going to hear this talk from Pikeville fans forever?

You had one good run in the 80's get over it.

[LineBacker #3]

25 seniors..that's huge for the pikeville program...they could very well go to state next year.

[HazzBeen]

Are we going to hear this talk from Pikeville fans forever?

You had one good run in the 80's get over it.

And you are finally having yours at Belfry? You will still talk about it in 20 years too. If Jones hadn't come, you guys would still be talking about those great runner up years!

[The College One]

HOLY-S$%#!!.....25 Seniors that truly awesome and thats dedication right there dedication...These guys should do good next year IMO..Have a really really good run in state...Hit that weightroom hard guys thats where its won is right there...Goodluck In the 07 season

The final was 25-20. Pikeville led 20-10 with five minutes to go.

[HazzBeen]

I do not think so because they did not go this year. And I do not think that they will have the team to go to state in 2007.


:dontthink

Are you old enough to be on here, or do you just not know what a football is?

[Panther#42]

And you are finally having yours at Belfry? You will still talk about it in 20 years too. If Jones hadn't come, you guys would still be talking about those great runner up years!

Exactly, so quit downing Pikeville just because they're chances may be a little better to win it next year than yours

[Panther#42]

The final was 25-20. Pikeville led 20-10 with five minutes to go.

A INT and a onside kick lost it for the Panthers in that game, a Beechwood fan once said that the 99' team was the best they had ever had, if that be true, than you know Pikeville would have won state that year, but like many other unfortunate games, mistakes lost the game for them

This is a great post from a class act man. It is the truth no matter how you slice it. Pikeville is held to a higher standard by everyone. It is the kids job to live up to the standard that was set down years ago. Pikeville gets back to work in the weight room on monday

[Estillfootballgirl]

Wow...Estill Only Has Like 28 Players Total!!!!

[Panther#42]

It's going to be the same old pikeville You don't know whats going to happen when they step on the field next season. Also they won't make it out of the first round of the playoffs again next season

IF you truly believe that, your ethier A: Retarded or B: a Pikeville hater
BTW, what god-like team do you play for that lets you down Pikeville?
Im pretty sure Pikeville didn't get beat out of first round, they haven't been beat out first round since 1997, and before that they hadn't been beat out first round since proably 70 or 80 something

[LovetheBucs]

The Beechies remain in 1a if I'm correct and the West will still be sending Mayfield to the finals. I think Pikeville will be looking at Hazard again. Assuming they can get passed them, the should at least make it to the semi's.

The pool of good teams gets diluted next year. Pikeville better get it next year, or they might be waiting for a while.

[jetpilot]

^^^Pikeville has great talent coming after next year as well...bigtime...

Beechwood and Mayfield are in the same side of the bracket for the next 4 years.

I agree with the A and B parts, no way Pikeville will get beat first round in the playoffs next season. However, I think they did get beat in 2001 in the first round by Middlesborro who later lost to eventual region champions Paintsville. The Panthers finished fourth in their district from what I can remember. I think it was...
1)Fleming-Neon
2)Paintsville
3)Hazard
4)Pikeville

I just read that Beechwood is going to be in Region 2 next season, if so then I don't see any reason why a team returning as much talent as Pikeville couldn't make it. What teams are going to be in Region 3 that would keep Pikeville from going to state next season???

Lexington Christian and Raceland

[TRAIN85]

[/QUOTE]IRISH4. What teams are going to be in Region 3 that would keep Pikeville from going to state next season???[/QUOTE]
No team from region 3 can keep PIkeville from going to state. Why you ask? Region 3 is on the opposite side of the bracket. The winner from regions 1-4 plays the winner from regions 5-8. Which LCA and Raceland are in.

[Panther Thunder]

With 25 seniors they should go very deep into the playoffs, but one thing would stand in their way...Beechwood or New Cath. Plus next season they would travel to region 3, but even if they make it there they would have to beat Danville or Mayfield. Anything can happen.

all of those teams but beechwood will be gone and the panthers wouldnt have to face beechwood untill state with the new alignment but LCA and Raceland would serve as good competition for the panthers
