[Big Five-0-]

Time to b4real. Who is the best team in the mountains? I think we will find out in week one. WOW,  what a game for week one (Corbin vs Pikeville). I agree that Corbin and Pikeville are the two best High school football towns in the mountain.  In fact, find me any better football towns in the state. I never said TEAMS, I said TOWNS.  If you are one of those people who think Johnson or Belfry is still on the number one watch list, well just keep watching because Pikeville has Johnson in week two, and Belfry on 9/20. On the Pikeville schedule is also LCHS, Raceland, and Ironton. 

Pikeville you got my respect with this schedule.

 This sounds more like chest thumping more than anything else. each season is unique for both programs. I think trying to gauge off a game that one team is coming into with very little turnover personnel wise or change while the other program has had to adapt really late in the preseason with a major coaching change and complete culture reset and a major loss of very talented senior class is not a great gauge. because lets be honest last seasons Corbin team would have ran Pikeville under the bus, I watched both last season.  I think both TOWNS and TEAMS are top notch. I think it will be a great game with two top mountain teams but it will not be a game I would gauge one superior to the other with the handicaps Corbin has coming into this game, with that said I do still think that Corbin can leave this game with a dub equally to Pikeville. should be great game.

I don't think a 5 point win (24-19) by Corbin at their place last season is hardly running Pikeville "under the bus". Not taking anything away from Corbin, they are always great competition with a great tradition and its exciting to know this game is scheduled annually. But to infer they were "ran under the bus" is more than a stretch. If you watched that game, you know that Pikeville came close to winning it. Looking forward to seeing it again this season.

 I'm confused by this, Corbin didn't play Pikeville last season. Pikeville played Pulaski in the Pigskin Classic at University of the Cumberland's is the closest these two got to each other last season.

No your not confused, lol!. My bad. That was a mistype on my part. That game was 2022. Still, this game should have a playoff type atmosphere. Hoping for a safe game for both teams.
