JC could play against Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Patrick Mahomes and it wouldn’t help. The back end of that defense isn’t great. They don’t guard well back there. JC is great and I’ve been very impressed this year but the lack of passing defense will catch up to them in playoffs I’m afraid. Why Pikeville tried to bully the bully was a bad approach and head scratcher when Belfry went the next week and threw for close to 400 yards on JC. Pikeville has better receivers and QB in my opinion even though someone will chirp back Varney is just as good or better. He isn’t. He is a great game manager for Belfry and smart. Great high school QB. Pikeville just didn’t use their players against JC. I could understand that being second game of the year but you gotta know who your playmakers are by now. Stanley played well and looked like he deserved more touches all year (where has he been?) but Pikeville’s offense didn't use the other pieces who had been producing. Seemed they got caught up in the rushing success they had in first half and after Belfry adjusted, Pikeville did not. Also, Anthony is not Anthony of last year. He’s hurt. He’s having a lot of problems on one of his legs or feet. Slows him way down. Pikeville offense has to get going. Defense will be there but their offense must get going to win it this year. They have the kids to do it.

Impossible to know what coaches are thinking with this play calling  One of two things:

1 They are either struggling to find an identity and being unsuccessful, or
2 They know exactly what they are doing and the fans won't see the real (and much more diverse) offense until the playoffs.

I'm fully on board with 2

I am fully on board with the fact they have too many different people calling the plays. Been well known for years. Not a secret around the program. That’s why it looks like it does. Why would Pikeville lead the state in delay of game penalties? Does that make any sense? Players looking bad because a few adults struggle to check their ego at the door. There’s a bit of hard truth.

I had no idea and I have been a Pikeville fan for 100 years. Refuse to believe the HC would allow it. But even if you are even a little bit right it needs to be fixed or this year will be an epic fail. Your posts on here are usually spot on but this one scares me lol. You don't seem like a disgruntled family member in the least. HC needs to take control and call the plays himself maybe?

It probably should concern you because if it continues, your Panthers are going to fall way short of expectations this season. That offense isn’t a player problem. Last sentence you wrote may go a long way or whoever called the LCA game when Pikeville spread it around and had over 500 yards of offense should probably call the plays. Another interesting tidbit that isn’t getting enough attention for Pikeville. They have lost the turnover battle in every game this season. Turnovers, penalties, special teams blunders, and an anemic offense is not how Pikeville typically operates. That is who they have been through 5 games.
