Pikeville's District gives them such an advantage heading into playoffs whether anybody will admit it or not. They basically get 3 additional bye weeks each year to rest their starters by playing South Floyd, Jenkins, and Phelps. Most teams don't have that luxury.

Not really true:
District 1: Crittenden County, Fulton City, Fulton County, Russellville


Russellville has two easy games and a pretty mediocre Crittenden County. Unlike Pikeville they only have a 4 team Disirct which gives them flexibility to schedule whoever they want for an extra Non-District game to be prepare them.

District 2 –Bethlehem, Campbellsville, Caverna, Fort Knox

Campbellsville has basically the same exact scenario as Russellville.. one mediocre team and two awful teams and a bonus game to schedule as they wish

District 5 – Berea, Bishop Brossart, Bracken County, Nicholas County, Paris

5 team district but very weak... Paris' toughest opponent is Bishop Brossart who is nowhere as good as Hazard


District 6 – Fairview, Paintsville, Raceland
Tough as nails District, but only three teams. Two more games to schedule for coaches however they best see fit to help their team's playoff push.



I am sure if you asked the Pikeville staff they would much rather prefer playing one of those districts to give them the flexibility to best prepare for the post season.
