[Big Five-0-]

Raceland defeated Pikeville in the 3rd game of the season 54-14, and in the 2nd round of the playoffs Pikeville beat Raceland 26-20. Either Pikeville got a lot better or Raceland dropped off a lot. Both teams have about everybody back next year. Harlan beat Pikeville 41-21 in the first game,Williamsburg who lost 6 seniors last year beat Harlan 36-0 in the 3rd game of the season. Pikeville will be the team to beat in the region.

To be honest, i agree with this. The Panthers rerturn nearly everyone on both sides of the ball, along with much valuable experience gained last season by a very young team. Look for the 0 line to be much bigger and stronger. The defense will fly to the ball quicker, and will be stronger and experienced. This season's team is blessed with an abundance of skill players that are again.... experienced. Also have the option of utilizing any one of two qb's., both that are potent at run/pass. Also, very fortunate to have one of the best coaching staffs anywhere. Going to be some very tough competition in 1-A this season , but Pikeville's got as good a chance as any.
