I cant believe the way they allowed those 7 td's. Straight up the gut, no adjustments.

I also cant believe the ejection of Dixon.

The only defense/excuse I will give to Hazard is:

A) They lost Blanton to an injury and he is a pretty crucial cog
B) The ejection of Dixon hurt their ability to make said adjustment

With that said, Pikeville just broke their will tonight and I thought Hazard's play calling was a bit too cute at times. Pikeville found out Pugh was their ticket to victory and they rode that horse.

Pikeville actually didn't play very well in the First Half with several costly turnovers and penalties or they may have put up even more points.

Your Mayfield team is on a different level than these East teams right now (and it may stay that way), but Pikeville has the pieces at least to make a push through the East and potentially make it at least interesting if they can improve every week.
