Pikeville has a solid squad. Not having their RB will hurt. Last year's game has zero effect on this game. I'm sure had Middlesboro and Pikevilke played in 1999, Pikeville wouldn't have been thinking about the 78 points that Middlesboro hung on them the year before.

Pikeville needs to be careful though. Middlesboro has a funny way of facing opponents whom most thinking are solid squads, beating them, and instantly turning them into a below average team. Just ask Bell County. They were strong heading into their trip to the crater and despite losing on a last second field goal, everyone on here simply decided they weren't that good after all.

Middlesboro is definitely the underdog but has plenty of weapons and more than enough coaching to pull out the victory.
