I'll say my peace and leave it be...

Sayre had the best passing attack jn 1A, outside maybe Pikeville, and Pikeville put a running clock on them. Sayre also beat Bethlehem worse than Russellville did. Russellville has nothing Pikeville hasn't seen between playing Lex. Chris., Belfry, and other out of state power houses.

If Pikeville's offense is clicking, this is over by the end of the first.

Pikeville may very well put a running clock on Russellville in the first half.  However, Russellville beat Bethlehem by 13, Sayre beat them by 10.  

Trying to compare scores is generally a futile endeavor anyway.  Sayre played two competitive games with Hazard, losing by 3 and 14 points.  Hazard lost by 17 and 22 to Pikeville.  If you go by those scores it would seem that Russellville is a bit better than Hazard and could hang around in this game.

I agree. comparing scores doesn't work.
