[Big Five-0-]

I'm surprised Pikeville hasn't requested to play up with as dominant as they've been and the talent pool there. Staying in 1A seems to be a bit of a waste as the team isn't really being challenged outside of a handful of regular season games.

If Pikeville played a cupcake schedule, your comment would hold some merit, but take a look at last season's schedule. 1.At Corbin 2.Cov. Cath 4.Belfry 5.LCA 6.Mad.Central 7. At Sayre 8.Hazard. 9.Lynn Camp 10.Harlan 11.Paintsville 12. New Cath 13. Raceland(state Championship) That is one of the most rigid schedules statewide especially for a 1-A school. What else can Pikeville do, schedule Trinity, Male, Boyle co., etc? There's a reason Pikeville schedules teams like this. It's located in the trophy case at PHS.

Then they would t be able to call themselves state champions at the end of each year. There are two major competitors in 2A that would give Pikeville more then all the want

So your saying that's the reason Pikeville hasn't moved up to 2-A? (Beechwood-Mayfield) If you knew anything about Pikeville's football team, you would know that it doesn't run from any competition. Again, look at last season's schedule.

Just curious Big-Five-O, how close are Pikeville's numbers to being a 2A school? I wouldn't think that they'd be close. If they ever moved to 2A it would be by their choice, correct?

Pikeville was at 177.5 last year. 1A is 0-190

I think this will answer your question SR. Enrollment should be quite a distance from 2-A numbers.

I would think that is correct, by choice SR.
