Not sure If the gap will be like it was in 2019. I’ve not sit down and looked at the whole class yet, but Pikeville lost a lot of talent. Yes the have the quarterback back who is phenomenal, but not sure he will have such an absolute loaded class of wide receivers to throw to next season. He will have Lockhart kid or however you spell it. I actually look for Pikeville to switch more to the ground next season with the Wright kid.

Hazard does return some kids that should have what it takes to compete. So Don’t sleep on Hazard next season. But they do have to replace a lot of leadership from last season to make next season be successful.

But good luck to the new coach and I shall look foward to see the team for next season.

Wright will be a beast no doubt, but Pikeville won't abandon the passing game with a great passer at QB who just threw for 2500 yards and 32 TDs. According to KHSAA stats Pikeville ran the ball 58% and passed 42% in '19 (324 run, 235 pass.) I would look for about the same ratio, maybe a few more % runs but not much. Pikeville only threw 18 passes per game last year, that's not a huge number by any means. Receivers last year were a once in decades (or more) bunch, but MacNamee can really throw it and there will plenty of guys to throw to. All IMHO in the way too early bored with basketball mode lol.
