I think a lot of you guys snubbed Williamsburg a little bit!! I’m not saying they’re a top 3 team, but I definitely see them as a solid 5th. For the most part they gave everyone they played a hard time & even had a chance to win a few games, but came up just a tad short.

No. They’re right where they should be both based on historical finishes and reality.  No offense, but people will always put them there until they start proving different

Yep they lost to KCD not the powerhouse Hazard (worst Hazard team in a decade) in the playoffs. I don’t think they are top 4 but they are definitely 5-6 range and not 8-10 range. You can say what you want about historical finishes but they beat Hazard I know last time they played them and they are 2-0 in state semi final games against Raceland in the last 7 years. Not a knock on either of those two teams but Williamsburg has had as much success as most anyone over the last decade. Pikeville is the only team I would say is clearly better than them over the last decade and if Pikeville hadn’t won last year that might be debatable.


“if Pikeville hadn’t won last year that might be debatable”? Really? Over the past decade you say? Pikeville is 110-33 I believe since 2010. Williamsburg hasn’t cracked 100 wins. Pikeville has 2 state championships and a state runner up (by 1 point). Williamsburg has a state runner up in a game they lost BY A LOT.  GTFOH with that insanity. Williamsburg is MAYBE the 8th best 1A team over the last decade.

Williamsburg has lost 2 state final games one wasn't a good game and the other was a loss in Overtime, at a time when Mayfield was on an absolute tear. They have a third regional title this year. You can argue what you want about 8th best this or that, but name me 7 teams currently in 1A that have been better since 2011 which is the decade mark. I can name three which are Pikeville, Paintsville, and Hazard outside of those three Williamsburg has done as much as anyone and they frankly aren't that far behind Paintsville and Hazard. I'm really perplexed by Pikeville's absolute hate of Williamsburg, hell I'm not even really a Williamsburg person (I do support all the 13th region since that's where I live), but Williamsburg has been a very successful program over the last 10 years.

How dare you speak on God’s chosen and ordained team Pikeville.

Makes it easy to understand why people don't like them.

Really don’t care if people like Pikeville or not. But Williamsburg has beat NO ONE. There is no year since 2011 or 2010, whichever you want to reference, in which they even remotely would have challenged Belfry, let alone beat them (which Pikeville has done 3 times in that span). I will gladly acknowledged I forgot about the other state runner up accomplishment. My bad. 

I don’t hate Williamsburg, I just don’t understand the “love” people want to give a team that beats up on Jellico, etc and then fades like a bad strawberry wine in the playoffs every year. Pikeville lost to Hazard, absolutely no excuse. But I can guarantee you, if Williamsburg played THAT Hazard team, they would have lost by 2 scores minimum. Again, not hating Williamsburg so much as perplexed why people should rate them higher because they win against bad teams year after year and then fold like a cheap suit when they play a real team. Give me a reason WHY they should be ranked higher.
