Stanley would be a great addition to Pikeville baseball. What about football?

Baseball at Pikeville returns everyone. Football could use a good LB and he is a pretty good one. Believe he would help football more than baseball. Pikeville will be fine in both sports with or without any additions

Pikeville loses starters Lowe in OF and Hensley DH. Stanley hit .333 last year. Agree no transfers necessary but still great addition...

Stanley is good at baseball and football. Gives Pikeville another good bath and a kid who can catch and play outfield. Very similar to Brendan Anthony on the football side.

Well if this is all true and actually happening then it’s a huge hit to the Pond Creek Nation. Adding Stanley is huge for Pikeville on both sides of the ball football wise and an immediately replacement baseball wise too. As for the Burke kid, who could blame him  for wanting to go somewhere that throws the ball. Same goes for the Varney boys if they are in fact leaving also. But I guess time will tell if these are just threats or actual developments.

If qb Varney leaves I don’t see him playing qb with Duty going into his Jr season.

If the Varneys leave, I don’t see Pikeville being the destination. BUT if Pikeville is, that will be a major QB competition between the incoming freshmen, Varney, and Duty, gives us another athlete in football with the other and adds depth in basketball. I don’t think the one plays baseball anymore, but the other gives 4 stud pitchers and a quality middle infielder.


I’m still betting those 2 do NOT leave Belfry. I’ve reached out and asked the one dad I know, his only answer is they are enrolled at Belfry.
