[Big Five-0-]

Anthony would have to average 20-25 carries a game while also playing LB on defense and stay healthy doing all that. Unless Pikeville just has a concerted effort to try to get that award for him, Mr. Football isn’t going to happen. He’s good enough and in shape enough but that isn’t the way they play either. That’s not a selfish football team. Several kids who could be stars on other teams and put up big numbers sacrifice and play a role on a team like that for rings. They’ll make sure he has adequate rest going into postseason and go win 4 in a row. That’s how they work.

I can’t love this enough. Pikeville over the last 10 years has had kids that would’ve had monster stats at nearby schools but chose to win titles vs being the biggest fish in a mud hole. I’ve watched a few neighboring schools have kids put up crazy stats and that kid maybe not even been a starter at Pikeville and I chuckle. But hey to each their own…..do you wanna be a big stat guy and never sniff a state title or do you wanna be a team guy and win multiple rings? Everyone has different agendas. Decide who you are? If you’re a me guy go to whatever school not named Pikeville…..if you want to play at Kroger and get Rings and put your stats on the back burner then wear maroon. Simple. I just speak the truth, if you don’t like it then scroll on.

Totally agree with both comments. Pikeville has built a PROGRAM that keeps on winning, and that attracts the best talent that learns it is a WE mentality instead of a ME mentality. Iron truly sharpens iron and that is consummated at Kroger Field by being a part of something bigger than just one player hoisting that trophy when the game is done. Imo, playing unselfish along with Coach Mac and one of the best coaching staffs Statewide, along with excellent community support and facilities, and always a monster schedule is the program's forte. A vision of future success is very real for the Pikeville football PROGRAM.
