Turnovers especially the fumble returned for a TD , recovering a squib kick and a blocked punt had nothing to do with that I guess?


That's all part of the game and are things that Pikeville took advantage of. Pikeville is very explosive. As is Estep. But it's not like Pikeville shut them down either. Russell had one 100 yard rusher and two kids that had 90 some.

Sorry it offends you.

Not offended, and didn't say Pikeville shut them down. Pikeville made mistakes too - didn't cover onside kick, bad fake punt that gave Russell a very short field, and a turnover inside Russell 5...
Pikeville had the better offense (could run and pass), had the better defense (made some stops and forced some turnovers) and had better special teams. They were better in every area. Period.
Russell will continue to get better, no doubt about that...
