This is the beginning of a horrible losing streak for the panthers who will now start the season off 0-6. Their next 5 games are even tougher then this one, so I believe it is safe to say Pikeville will win their first game on OCT 5th vs South Floyd.

The next stretch of pikeville's schedule is dang tough but I believe the Panther's will win thier next game against Powell Co. but after that it gets real tough. No matter the schedule,Pikeville will get somewhat better by playoff time and they still have a shot at a regional championship. It depends on how they respond to the losses this season. If they start to believe in themselves the way they did last season thier luck will change.
