No one said it was on frasure! Win, as a team, lose as a team, good game to watch for Pikeville fans. Not so good for p burg fans.this game should have been 29 to 0 at the half! Dropped passes in the end zone killed pburge. Bad snaps hurt the blackcats,also the only 2 scoring drives for Pikeville came on missed defensive assignments in the first half! Blackcats need to work on there mistakes, put this behind them and move on to next week.congrats to Pikeville for not giving up.

These are just "the things which happen", especially in a season's first game. The worst one was the 82 yd Pikeville TD pass.

The cornerback did just about everything wrong on that one. He lined up 3 yards off the receiver with his eyes on the Pikeville backfield.

- if you're spying the backfield, you have to be at least 5 yards off the WR to have time to turn and stay with him if he streaks.

-or-

- if you're playing bump/run, you have to be right up ON the receiver to jam him at the line and keep your eyes on HIM.


Only when a safety has your backside can you take chances out on the island. Tough way for the CB to learn that (though in this case, it was more thoughtlessness). But hey...better to get it wrong now rather than later.


EVERY PLAYER should have a thought progression (is he in the right place, his assignment, etc.) he goes through and plays his position correctly each and every snap.
