Just like the past few years, Pikeville will be as good as their lineplay and ability to play SMART football.

It can be argued that the only team to knock Pikeville out fo the playoffs the past two seaosns, is Pikeville. Last year Pikeville clearly overlooked Hazard, this year they self destructed with turnovers againbst LCA.

Pikeville is blessed to have possibly the best returning player in 1A, but if Harmon is getting hit by three defenders whenever he touches the ball, it is a moot point.

Keys to Pikeville's succes next year:
- Finding an O-line
- The development of Branham at the QB position, in particular the ability to efficiently throw 12-15 times a game.
- Utilizing the Cleary kid as a strong second option to Harmon
- Keeping Harmon healthy
