Mayfield yes. Beechwood I’m not sure.

Since 1990 …. 1A state Champions 

Beechwood 13 time state champion 

Mayfield      6 time state champion 


what are you not sure of ????

Enrollment is important. Mayfield and Beechwood have around 550 kids in high school whereas Pikeville has around 400.  Also important is the surrounding area where a kid may transfer in from another school.  Pikeville beat Beechwood in 2015 for a title. Lost a close one in 2018 and historically Beechwood has been a roadblock for Pikeville. Last year I think Pikeville beats them. This recently completed season I think Pikeville loses to both.  But I have no doubt those 3 teams would have some playoff wars in the same class.

I got a question for true Pikeville fans…not the homers that get on here just to ruffle feathers. This may be a hard question to answer.Do you think Raceland wins this game if Mac is coaching the Rams?

Short answer no. Longer answer, I think Pikeville has the best staff in 1A. Raceland has some good coaching but they have also been consistently outmaneuvered in that matchup. The jimmies and joes matter too and they were outmanned the last 2 state finals. Closer this year but I said earlier this season Pikeville was 2-3 scores better than anyone in 1A despite the early loss to Raceland. That game should have been 20-7 or 27-7 but Pikeville beat themselves. Not fanning the flames. Truly believed it then and still do. They kind of proved it. I think their defense played one of their best games the last game but offensively, they were just ok. Gotta have a couple kids capable of chunk plays to beat Pikeville and the Rams didn’t have the speed to do that. I think they had some really good players but it takes speed to beat Pikeville.
