I wasnt that impressed with Pikeville. They have a few nice players. Yes they beat Russell by a wide margins, but let's look at a few things that created that. Pikeville was fired up going for an undefeted season, Russell came out flat, played like the weren't into the game. Poor special team play put Pikeville into scoring position on two kickoffs. And on that end of the first half bomb, I don't know if anyone else noticed it but it looked like Russells secondary was moving into a different coverage and got caught out of position. And Russell was missing a starting kinsman and their top back played very little, thus really hampering their ability to keep Pikevilles offense off the field. How would Pikeville perform against a good team without one of there starting kinsman and without Estepe and that team going for an undefeted season? You get my point. Russell is playing mostly soph's and juniors so they're very young and running a new system. No sour grapes though, Pikeville won,Russell lost. I'm glad to get the serious with Raceland back, but id live for Russell to get one more shot at Pikeville next year.
