Pikeville toyed with Paintsville and Raceland the first time they played them.

Just watching the film of how Pikeville game-planned for those two games versus the "emotional" games against Mingo Central, Belfry, and Ridgeview made it clear that Pikeville's staff knew they had a couple more gears under the hood. Whether they knew they may see those teams again or they were trying to keep their team grounded, either way, it seemed the playbook completely changed once it was time to get to nut-cutting time.

This was as good of a 1A team as we have seen in a good while. Pikeville was simply next level compared to the rest of the class once the staff chose to unleash them.

Think it's more of just Pikeville just being much better come playoff time. Remind you of any team you may be fond of?
