I was relegated to listening to the audio broadcast while on my return trip home. Cell reception was spotty at times but I got the message loud and clear, Pikeville is the best team and the best program in 1A. For us Ram fans this is just the reality. Whether Beechwood, Mayfield, Pikeville, etc. there has always been that one team that's just better. In the past when one of "those" teams moved to 2A we got our hopes up, held back a few more kids, and crossed our fingers.  It's not working....and I'm okay with it.  Let's stop the foolishness and be happy with who. I wouldn't trade our community for any but the sad truth is in just a few weeks the chatter will start again....Pikeville is awful close to 2A....our second year 7th grade team is gonna be good....boys we got a shot.  Sorry, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and went from congratulating to venting.

I completely agree.  After really thinking this it is just a deeper program issue. Think about how many times we have been on the cusp of winning a championship and I’m not talking about just now but go back to the 70’s.  There has always been a Ludlow, Bellevue, Beechwood, NCC, LCA or Pikeville in the way.  Right now we are just running into “that” team later than those older teams did. Somewhere deep in the DNA of the football program is a problem that needs fixed or the title will never come.
