I think Pikeville saying the schedule had anything to do with why they didn’t win state is just an excuse. None of those games were against 1A teams. Belfry played a schedule in 2021 and started 0-5. Still won 3A. A couple of those games were blowouts. Seems like no one is saying that Sayre was just better this year. Sayre may not have played a great schedule regular season but they beat Raceland and Pikeville in the playoffs. It wasn’t like in 2019 when Paintsville had some help from Hazard. Sayre beat the 2 teams who had dominated 1A for 3 years. And if Sayre can get kids from other Lexington schools to come play there then this may not be their last state championship.
