Sayre still hasn’t played anybody.  Come on guys. Did you see that Pikeville team out there tonight? Sayre did not beat a good team tonight. Don’t get mad pikeville fans but that team that played Sayre tonight looked like one of those heavyweight champions that fought way too many fights. Lethargic, beat up, slow, zero energy. This was not the same team Raceland faced early nor the team that took Ironton down to the wire. Poor Brendan Anthony looked like an old man running the ball tonight. 14 was hoping around on 1 leg trying to do the best he could.  I’m not gonna gloat that Pikeville lost. But to say Sayre is the favorite because of this win is a joke.  This Pikeville team didn’t even resemble the team they were early in the season. I’ll make the bet that over half the players playing for pikeville tonight were playing injured. That’s not counting the players that were already out for the season.

Sayre beat Pikeville tonight. No excuses. Pikeville had been lucky with injuries past several years avoiding key ones for the most part. Not so lucky this year. Hager and Slone being out hurt a ton on offense. Justice out on defense a huge blow as well. RAD hit the nail on the head. Several more played hurt, a couple played an entire season compromised. Sayre surprised me but Pikeville is better than that. Played uninspired and yes the most injured team I’ve seen Pikeville have. But this year still seemed off/different all year. No identity at times. Play calling was questionable at times. No enthusiasm. Sometimes success breeds content. I still like Raceland to finally get it done and would really be setup to go back to back next year.
