Heard is was running clock at end of 1st quarter. Can someone from PC please explain why they dominate in youth level but never does translate to middle or high school level?

Pike Central currently lacks a comprehensive program beyond youth football. In youth leagues, kids aren't prioritizing weight training and as much skill development needed for daily improvement. Once students reach middle school, they face a lack of consistent coaching staff and proper coaching to nurture their fundamentals, a problem persisting for years. In contrast, Pikeville and Belfry consistently maintain such programs. Regarding the high school level, it's challenging to name a single quality  coach since Chapman's or McNamee’s tenure. There's a notable absence of a structured weight program for ongoing player development. While Pikeville, Belfry, and other area schools invest heavily in off-season training. Until Pike Central brings in coaches who can fortify the middle school and high school programs, their performance is likely to remain stagnant.
