I truly think last year Pikeville would have beaten JC but unlike JP, haha,  think that’s probably the exception not the rule in an ongoing series with the Golden Eagles. Most years they’ll just be too big, too deep and too physical for the Panthers and there’s nothing wrong with that, they’re a much bigger school. I love that Pikeville has accepted another physicality challenge on their schedule where you know year in and year out you have another with the Pond Creekers. Anyway as far as this game, I think we are forgetting Pikeville is replacing a ton defensively now not saying this bunch won’t be good but early in the season they’re going to be very green and to match up with a very well oiled physical rushing attack is going to be a huge challenge. I’ll go with the Eagles in this one. But make no mistake, Pikeville will be ten fold better for playing JC and N Pulaski in back to back weeks. Look out 1A Pikeville ain’t going anywhere anytime soon. Good luck to JC on a great season and would like to see you guys dethrone Boyle once again like in 2019. That was classic.

N Pulaski?
