id love to see pikeville middlesboro

As a Belfry fan 2 teams I’ve always wanted to see come play are Beechwood and Mayfield. Mayfield probably won’t ever happen cause it’s too far but Beechwood would be a great opponent to bring in.

i dont care  much for beechwood bc of them being private id love to see 2 good teams from tennessee come play pikeville and belfry idk how this would work for the RPI but both teams would travel better than most kentucky teams and its Alcoa and Maryville i bet we would have 2 great games

Beechwood is not private.  They are an independent school just like Pikeville High School.

People don’t seem to understand that. I was at the PCB games this weekend and overheard some conversations about Pikeville. People were telling people Pikeville is so good cause they can “legally” recruit. It just means they are their own independent education system. They aren’t part of the Pike County school system. Just like Paintsville is independent. Has nothing to do with being able to recruit in athletics but that is a common misconception people have.

If you really want to make the Pike County Bowl good again, let the other "county" schools play amongst themselves and bring in high quality teams for Belfry and Pikeville to play every year at Pikeville or Belfry.  Oh wait, that's how it used to be when it was played only at Pikeville.  Belfry got to play Highlands, Male, etc.

Saturday.

At Pikeville.

Two big name out of area teams.

Pikeville plays the first game. Belfry plays the second.

Belfry fans and Pikeville fans sitting together. Cheering for each other. Also talking smack the entire time.

Why we ever got away from this model, I will never know.

Has Pikeville ever played Belfry in this game?

No but fans from both sides say the regular season game between the 2 is the real PCB.
