Its definitely Pikevilles to lose. But its been said before. Seems like every year we have had a "clear favorite" since Mayfield and Beechwood left, someone gets upset. I will say this though, Ive watched the top 1A teams play. They are all missing something. Some have great team speed, others have good ground and pound size with a RB that can hurt you at some point. Some have outstanding offenses, others are just super stout defensively. But almost all of them are missing SOMETHING. For me right now, the top 2 teams in 1A are Pikeville and Raceland. Pikevilles the heavy favorite, imo. But both the Panthers and the Rams have some issues in the defensive kicking game, namely coverage. Pikevilles biggest issue is going to be when they peak. If they havent, good god watch out. If they have, its anyones game. I feel like they are the most complete team right now defensively they fly to the football. Offensively they have what all great teams have. Big and fast upfront, smart and experienced QB, good run game and an explosive WR. They got all the pieces and a coach that knows how to win championships. Raceland, Williamsburg, KCD, and Paintsville are all still finding themselves a bit.
