Congrats to JC. Outplayed, out hustled, out phyical'd the Panthers and ran their offense to near perfection all night.

Outside of their final scoring drive Pikeville looked out of sync on offense all night.  They were making a lot of mistakes that one normally wouldn’t expect from a team that has won 3 consecutive state titles.  Obviously JC had a lot to do with it but there were multiple unforced errors that cost Pikeville on several plays.

JC was a model of execution tonight.  They imposed their will on a manner that you would have seen from JC teams from a few years ago.  I look for them to be right back in the thick of it in 4A this season.  

As for Pikeville, they will be fine in 1A and games like this will just make them better down the stretch when the competition level in 1A isn’t as difficult.
