I wish Beechwood and Pikeville would start a series home and home. I miss that rivalry.

Beechwood’s schedule for next year is already complete, and honestly, playing a 1A school, even one as good as Pikeville is, doesn’t benefit Beechwood when it comes to the RPI. Unfortunately Beechwood is in a 6 team district and the 5 teams they have to play do not help their RPI at all. Therefore, they have to take every opportunity they can to play teams in higher classes so they can gain more RPI points. Playing a team from Cincinnati killed them this year in the RPI, which is dumb, because it was a quality opponent, but it hurt their RPI, so they ended up making the 4:30 drive to Mayfield for the semi finals.

Who are they playing in week 1? I know they aren’t playing Mic Nick next year. 

They had to play Mic Nick because i think Fairdale dropped them last year. 

I know next year when St Henry gets football they will have to re do the districts.

The RPI is why they dropped New Cath. This year was the first time since 1990 they didn’t play New Cath or Lloyd but I know the Lloyd series goes back to the late 80’s.

They didn’t play Lloyd from 2009-2014, this year was the first time since 1990 that they didn’t play NCC. NCC has fallen off, and are nowhere close to the level of Pikeville.

Do you know who Beechwood is playing in week 1? 

Yeah, I know who they play. It’s not a team from out of state, and it’s a much larger school, so if they win it will be a nice RPI boost.
