[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

Thanks, EKU! Been a long time coming and I couldn't be happier that it was Beechwood on the other end of it!!!

I will post some more thoughts through out the week. Still a little overwhelmed. Just going through trying to update some records and this and that as well as some video work.

Just a random stat that made me smile, Pikeville outscored opponents this year by FIVE HUNDRED POINTS. 708-208. (Not Male or anything, but pretty good!)

One of the records set was a PHS Record for points in a Playoff series and PPG in a playoff series: 258 Points, 51.6 PPG!! Billy J had the offense clicking midway through the year and peaking at the right time! Great job by Johnson, Johnson, & Huff! And what a job Paul Sullivan has done since taking over the Defense. The fastest, hardest-hitting Panther team in a long time! Forcing a boat-load of turnover, falling just shy of entering the state record book at the minimum end for INTs! Tony Mullins did a great job with the DL. Became much more disciplined throughout the season and was really playing lights out against the year by the end of the year.

More to some soon!

Here's some "Hidden Stats" of interest on just how good our Starting Defense really was. Take away the 2 Kent Phelps kick returns against Paintsville, which isn't on the D. (DANG IT WALLS!!! LOL) The "Garbage Time" TD late in the 4th against Beechwood. The late TDs on the JV against Hazard, Williamsburg, and Lynn Camp. The Starting Defense only gave up 38 points the entire playoffs! An average of 6.3 points per game. The only team that eclipsed 200 yards of total offense against our starting D was Beechwood. With those numbers, this group was flirting with the '88 "Big Dawgs", statistically speaking.....
