Birchfield the best player on the field? Please. Everyone knows Xavier Brown is on another level. Blake had a good first half but that was it. It seems like everyone’s just patting themselves on the back for being tied at half. That was one of the poorer performances from LCA I have seen all year. I don’t think there are many instances where pikeville beats this team ever. Against a team like LCA pikevilles best hopes was to keep the ball on the ground and away from the eagles. They were successful for a half because of two busted plays. After a halftime adjustment for LCA Pikeville had no answers on offense. With that being said I love this match up every year and I hope this become an annual game. I’ll be pulling for pikeville in 1a this year. There may be a running clock all the way to Kroger. Good luck against Mad Central!

I can assure you Pikeville doesn’t pat themselves on the back for being on the same level as a team for a half. That’s not the standard they set. And as far as Brown and Birchfield, Brown is a better player but he is not on another level. His in a much better situation. Pikeville has no pass offense and they run a one back set with Birchfield 80% of the time. So it’s pretty easy to key on him for the entire duration of a game while he gets 25 carries a game. Brown isn’t even leading his team in TDs for the year receiving or rushing. LCA had 9, 16, 32 take snaps at RB last night. Blake has 86 carries in four games and had 25 last night. 

Now if you want to say Brown is on another level on defense. That’s fair. Overall. I disagree. Respectfully

Him not leading the team on the stat sheet just speaks to the amount of playmakers on the team. I still stand by my statement that he is “on another level”. When you are talking athleticism speed agility toughness and football IQ Brown takes the cake. There’s a reasons he’s a power 5 talent. I would consider that another level.

Well said
