I was very disappointed by this Pikeville team. They had some trouble at the start of the second half, and instead of fighting for the win, fighting for their season, this team laid down and died. They hung their heads low and let LCA get the best of them.

And watching the two brothers fight on the sidelines was ridiculous. That right there showed the breakdown of this team last night.

To me it looked like there was some serious problems with the offensive play calling, every play was run, run, run, which just doesn't work against any respectable team. Of course, I have also heard that the Pikeville QB has a tendency to change the plays in the huddle, so this may have been why almost every play in the second half looked like a broken play.

On top of that, Pikeville needs to get some meat on that offensive line. They couldn't stop LCA's Powderpuff team. I didn't see many runs....successful or not, up the middle. It looked like, because the line couldn't block anybody, Pikeville was just trying to run it around the line and around the defense, and LCA was just too quick for that.

Last night was a good first half, and then the mental breakdown of this team in the second half. Maybe next year this team can get their act together. But I've heard that Pikeville is not turning out a lot of new players out. I heard that there 15 or so freshmen that quit this year. On top of the 14 Seniors leaving, Pikeville is going to be in for a few rough seasons coming up.

Pikeville's coach tried to jump ship to Henderson County over the summer. Just didn't get the nod. The freshmen do not like the current coaching staff. Look for Pikeville to fall further if there is not a coaching change.
