[Big Five-0-]

Pikeville is Sophomore heavy this season with 21 Soph. on the roster. A couple yrs. back they came a hair in beating CAL for the 8th gr. State championship. Only one Senior starter returned from last season as graduation took it's toll. Would be starting Jr. QB Wyatt Battaile is out for the regular season from surgery. As been previously mentioned, these Panthers are very young, but they will get better and better with the talent they possess. Next couple yrs. are expected to be very good for the Panthers once again. Friday was a bad loss, but they will learn from it, and nobody can accuse them of playing a cupcake schedule. They will be better for it.

Correction: Wyatt Battaile - Senior
