I heard from Coach J yesterday that 15 8th graders signed up to get into Copelys PE class for weight lifting. I guess rumors of Pikeville Footballs demise have been greatly exagerated. There is as much if not more talent in this 8th grade clas as there was in last years.

Add them to super sophomores to be Taylor Ratliff, Ross McCoy, and Ben Staggs plus if the kids come back that didn't play last year then you have a makings for a really solid group of kids. On top of that you have three kids that are going to be pretty special in the junior class: Blake Branham, Jared Anderson, and JR Robinson. If Houston McAnallen comes back then you have a super talent to add back to the mix. Looks bright for the future in my opinion.
