I know we all have are ifs but if Jackson Hensley hadn’t got hurt in 2018 Becchnits would be short 1 state championship trophy

And if Ethan Stringer and Trevor Soward don’t get hurt in the playoffs in 2015, Pikeville is short one title. Stringer was leading 1A in rushing when he got hurt and him and Soward were 2 of their 3 starting LBs. Beechwood had to start a freshman at RB and a 3rd string guy at MLB that game. We can play this what if game all night long.

Beechwood moved Slusher to RB and didn't miss a beat. Pikeville steamrolled the Beechies for over 500 yards in that game and 
scored 28 straight to win going away. Daric Pugh had 243 yards rushing. Beechwood could have played Stringer at RB and 12 on defense and Pikeville was still winning big.

Beechwood moved Slusher to RB and didn’t miss a beat?!!
Absolutely delusional comment!!
By moving Slusher to RB when they went to the I or the Wildcat it took their best receiver out of the passing game. When they were in the spread they had to put a freshman at RB because Slusher was at WR. Pikeville was able to sit in a 3-2 in the box because they did not fear the running game out of the spread. I can assure you if you sat in that 3-2 with Stringer back there he would have absolutely carved up your defense. When that happens you have to add a guy back to the box, which in turn opens up the passing game. To say Beechwood didn’t miss a beat without Stringer or Soward is just ridiculous. That game was tied at 21-21 heading into the 4th quarter, and Beechwood just wore down,. Pugh was a great back, and so was Stringer. His absence was huge in this game.
