My prediction of a Pikeville blowout is due to me thinking Pikeville is just that good and I’m not meaning to discredit what Raceland is as a football team. Pikeville just does so many things well that you can’t take it all away from them. You can’t load the box against Pikeville because they can win the one v one on the outside and you can’t sit back and play coverage because they have a good running game that becomes very good when the QB is involved.

Raceland will have to play a bend but don’t break style and hope they can force some turnovers and FG attempts inside the red zone. Play safe until the 30 yard line and then get aggressive to force Pikeville into much harder 3&4th downs. Find a way to keep it close until the 4th quarter and maybe then some of the pressure shifts to the home team who hasn’t been tested in several weeks. I think Raceland has to score 28 to have any chance.
