Definitely could have ran the ball without throwing and won. They kind of did that in the last 3 playoff games. I just think they could be more explosive on offense.

Looks like 5 starters on each side of the ball. They lose a defensive lineman, an athlete/LB who played corner in the finals, 2 other corners and a safety on defense. 3 offensive linemen, 2 starting WRs, and 1 other WR who played on offense. Besides 2 offensive lineman and their safety, the rest of those players are the same player. They played both ways. Being a single A school, I expect several guys to do that again next year in those same spots and it looked like they had the young guns to do it.

Definitely hard to tell what will happen in the off season with kids and development. Pikeville also usually gets a player or two in transfer. They have a lot to replace but not as much uncertainty as this past season. Plenty of experience coming back and those freshman will be sophomores. No knock on the kids who graduate but I see Pikeville taking a step forward and that is scary for 1A or anybody on their schedule really.
