I understand the excitement. It has been earned, but I don’t want to hear this talk about them being like the late ‘80s teams. 87 Pikeville was just an unfair assembly of talent and heart. I will stick by this if they win the next 3 state titles. Unfair comparison.

As for 2018 Pikeville will be a tough out for anyone. Plus they would have homefield in the semi state. Coach Mac is as good as it gets. How in the world did Pikeville let him go!?

You didn't hear it. I said reminds me of when Pikeville was CLIMBING the mountain to greatness. Doesn't mean they will achieve greatness. But from someone who saw both groups come up through the ranks, there are some similarities. This year they will have 3 classes that played in the middle school state championship. Next year all 4 classes will have played for a middle school state championship. This bunch is special. How special is yet to be seen.
