Absolutely! Paintsville 's Phelps is an extremely talented running back that has a good future past high school (yes he went out of the game mid way through the 2nd quarter from an injury, in the first Pikeville game) but I feel that Pugh is THE top running back in the state. There are faster backs but that kid has plenty of speed and is as hard as they come to bring to the ground! He's a HUGE weapon for any team to have much less for Pikeville to have with the other talent around him! Of course we throw some jabs at each other on here to get hyped up for this game but the one thing I'm not joking about is Beechwood not being at the level of play that either one of these teams are at right now! The one thing that worries me is which ever "VILLE" team moves on to BG may be so dang beat up from this Friday nights game that it may give Beechwood a major edge!! They could use a month in between To get over this one!!

Is Pugh playing at the next level?
