Pikeville will go only as far as their lines take them..PERIOD!

Pikeville is blessed to have arguably the best RB in EKY returning next year in Harmon, he is also a tremendous player on defense. I also may be in the minority, but I also feel Pikeville will have better production and more fluidity at the skill spots by season's end. Baker will eb a solid WR with another year of experience under his belt, and Branham brings a better arm to the table (and probably far less turnovers). Throw in Mullins at the other HB and Pikeville should be able to at leats ahve big play capability.

Defensively Pikeville will be undersized but posess quality speed and athleticism.

BUT, if Pikeville can not only fill the losses up front on both sides, bt furthermore, cannot improve. It will spell another early round playoff exit prior to the state semis. Harmon's a tough kid, but life will be hard for him if they can't give him protection.
