I do believe they will be good at the first of the year( that’s if they get to begin practicing and get to play) because their lines on both sides of the ball is going to be their strength. Plus Issac is the real deal. They have a lot of talent at the skill positions that a lot of people unless you are a Pikeville fan hasn’t seen like we did at the games when they took the starters out and let them play. Sure with their schedule it’s going to be a tuff road ahead of them but like you I hope we get to watch them form into the team they can become.

That's what i'm seeing as well Patriot1. Both sides of the line is where we'll notice a difference. When you consider who's returning and what has already transferred in ( A 6' 3" 290 lb. DT with experience) then that will make an impact. This young man transferred in before covid19 hit and sent students home. Saw video of him in several games last season, and he just keeps going. Great footwork and uses his body well at los. He's a Jr. so he's got two seasons to excel. Couple him with the Salyer twins, then add Jr. Landon Hammock who was a starter last season and played some offense as well. Then returning starters at the Lb. positions, Taylor, Collins, and Caudill. Should be a solid D line for sure. Looking forward to see how the O line adds up this season too. Just hope Andy and the KHSAA lets these young men and women practice and play the game.
