I expect the game between Pikeville and Hazard next year to be an all out war. I think 1 of those 2 represent the east. Pikeville had a little better depth this year than I expected. They may have the same but I don't expect it. But Pikeville will miss Pugh and it will show against the better part of the schedule for Pikeville.

Pikeville will no doubt miss Pugh, he was the best back in 1A. Hazard has to replace QB & RB the only two offensive threats they had. Pikeville brings back 10 that visited the endzone this year. Plus the game wont be officiated by the reach around crew as Hazard has to come to Pikeville. Just see a much steeper hill to climb for Hazard.
