[Big Five-0-]

If Pugh can stay healthy, I think Pikeville matches up well with Williamsburg. Raceland will have alot more speed on the line as well, as long as the soph class lineman stay healthy. Williamsburg road is alot tougher, next year. Pikeville, Raceland, and Fairview arehard places to go in and win. Especially in late November. Pikeville is my pick to win the east.

Right now, I see it as a toss up between Pikeville and Williamsburg, to be honest. Pikeville has some holes to fill with the departure of some good leadership on the line due to graduation. Agree, Pugh has got to remain healthy. The kid has what it takes on both sides of the ball, and plays with so much tenacity. However, after saying this, I don't think you can ever count Raceland out, nor Hazard. I think Raceland has a better shot next year though. Don't really know that much about Hazard, but I do know they've got that fine running back returning by the name of Jones.
