[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

I know theres talent over there...but losing 15 seniors who almost all start has to kill a team. YES, there is talent and a lot of kids stepping up into roles and they may fill those positions well,, BUT the big thing is expirience!! If you have sophomore stepping into a starting role for the first time, then you dont know what will happen in a pressure situation. Varsity football is way different than 8th grade freshman or jv football is.

I think Pikeville will be decent this year, and go to maybe the third round of the playoffs. I just think they need a year to develop all the fresh raw talent and develop all these players into varsity kids. Yes they still have Harmon but he cannot do it all by himself if he has new players that he has not played with and does not yet wholly trust to block for him or w/e. So in my ever so humble opinion,, I see a second or third round exit from Pikeville for the sole reason of inexpirience in the fresh players.

I wish you all the best of luck next year and hope to see you guys do well...as long as its not against us. lol

Under normal circumstances Id agree with you but alot of those seniors had injuries last year and because we didnt have alot of depth to begin with that meant alot of freshmen and sophomores saw serious varsity time. There was 6 freshmen or sophomores that started multiple varsity games and Im not just talking about against teams like Betsy Lane either. While this hurt us last year it will be a blessing in disguise that these underclassmen will now have varsity experience. There might still be some growing pains to go through Im sure but I honestly believe they WILL be ready when Corbin rolls into town. Also like Ive been saying for a while now the overall attitude of this team is the best Ive seen it in a while and that can do nothing but help.
