Is it true Pikeville is Changing their name from "Pikeville Independent School District" to "The Pikeville International Open District" after the success of their transfers in basketball and the kids from other 1A and County programs from around the Region? I will give Coach Mac credit..he has effectively recruited his QB position better than the UPike staff has ever came close to.. stockpiling that talent.

Also, fitting that you mention seeing brake lights as a Panther... seeing that is pretty much all the Panther defense has been able to see of the Belfry running backs for a loooong time now.

:biggrin:

For the record..I hope the rivalry continues on. Future looks bright for both programs over the next 4 seasons and I think this year is a competitive game. Coach mac, all jokes aside, has Pikeville getting back to the top tier of 1A Football and the feeder system seems to be chuugging now that Pikeville has established coaching stability. Don't know if it will ever get back to the old days of the 80's and 90's.. but I would rather play Pikeville 100X instead of Southwestern, East Carter, or any of these teams Belfry has had to scramble in the past to fill their schedule with. Plus the rivalry at the HS level will only trickle down and fuel rivalry at the Feeder level which is good for both programs.
