I also am glad to see Pikeville finally agreeing to play Pike Central. Pikeville should also return the trip to Buckley's Creek next year. I also find it extremely ironic that Pikeville finally agrees to play the Hawks (to my knowledge the PC staff has been trying for years) the year that Pike Central loses everything and Pikeville will once again be a 1A power. I wonder why the Pikeville admin didn't wanna play the Hawks the last 4-5 years when Pike Central was dangerous enough to beat anyone in the mountains on any given night. Interesting.

If I am a betting man I still think it has more to do with who is the Head Coach at PC now versuses who was the Head Coach those other years. The former coach at PC did not have the best history with the Pikeville program, but the current coach came while in good grace.

Now with that said, it's not to say that Pikeville was oblivious to PC's success. Your talent pool overlaps each other and a loss would reflect worse on Pikeville's program 10X that of PC's... but to Pikeville's credit it wasn't like they were scheduling cupcake Non-District games..


If Pike Central was not in Belfry's district do you think Belfry would have chosen to schedule Pike Central those years as a non-district game?
