Pikeville has 70 points because Middlesboro cant stop them... turnovers certainly play a part in the margin..but the Jackets can't get a single stop...not one...

A game or not that is simply making excuses. Just give Pikeville credit for absolutely shredding your defense and making plays when opportunity presents itself. It's not like Pikeville has never been in one of these games, they did something similar to Hazard. The better team makes plays.. the weaker team makes mistakes and excuses.

As I said, these are comparable teams but it is frivolous to play the "we gave them the game and we are the better team" card when you might have gave up 100 points if both teams were not running teams.

I can hear all you Pikeville folks now. "Middlesboro scored 49 points off turnovers thats why they won". You know if it was the other way around and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont give me the crap that "no we wouldnt its part of the game garbage". Pikeville fans would be crying the same garbage if they turned the ball over 9 times and had 300 penalties. Its part of the game and its Pikevilles tonight but it still doesnt change the fact that I believe Middlesboro is the better team they just were not tonight.
