[Big Five-0-]

True. Pugh is a tough player who could certainly change things up from a ground and pound stand point. What I saw from Pikeville was a lack of being able to drive down the field consistantly when the screen game got shut down. Imo, Wburg owes Pikevikke a great deal of credit. Bc anyone who watched the Pikeville's last 2 offensive series, should have seen what Pikeville was able to do from 7-10 yards throwing the ball. Which is exactly how Wburg had their success. Their short passing game became their run game. Then once we started playing up on them, thy managed to beat us deep.

With a healthy Pugh in the ball game next year, it toughens up that Pikeville offense a bit. Not that the others are soft, but they are speed/finess players. Pugh is a more straight ahead downhill runner.

Exactly.One game that comes to mind is the the season opener(PCB, against Hazard) very impressive in his running the ball. Loaded with talent, tough nose runner, and plays with so much heart.
