What are you talking about? Dustin Menetrey played all season...

He/She is probably refering to Curley(I believe that is his name)that I believe was injured. Wasn't he a RB that was injured during the season, or I may be totally off.

Anyway, it will be a very long time - maybe even never - for any EKY teams to be able to try and compete against the Beechwood's and Newport Catholic's of the world. They are simply on another level in all aspects of KY high school football than they EKY Class A teams are...

I wouldn't go as far as to say never. Pikeville will have some good talent coming up and in 1999 they gave the Tigers all they wanted in Ft. Michell and the following season played NCC pretty tough into the 2nd half. I agree with you in that Region 4 will not beat the Region 3 champion this season. However, Pikeville does have some young talent and it is a pretty good football program. Every few years they will put teams on the field that will be able to compete for a state title. Whether they win the close games or not is another question.
