I talked to a member of the coaching staff today and he seemed to be very excited about next season. He said the Honaker twins will probably start at OLB and Mayo will be the MLB....He was VERY high on Mayo for both offense and defense and called him the best pure hitter that he has ever coached. He told me that Pikeville was getting all new equipment for their weightroom and that the kids are making a lot of progress in the weightroom...next years team will be MUCH stronger and conditioned than last years team. Supposely the Panthers are having good numbers in the weightroom...Coach Jackson is getting almost all of the athletic kids in the high school working hard in the weightroom and excited about coming out for football next season...He said that they could have as many as 10 new players(including some big kids)that could be on the team this year that choose not to play football last season. Pikeville will play AAAA Henry Clay in the Pike County Bowl, AA schools Prestonsburg and Belfry, and AAA East Jessamine in the bowl game in Corbin as their non district schedule.
