What is up with Pikeville Basketball?

I think Bart Williams has done a great job as Pikeville's coach. Despite the loss of Adams, he has kept the program afloat and notched some impressive wins this year, including road wins at Lawrence, East Ridge, and P-Burg, and a neutral-site win over JBS. While they may not be able to compete with Shelby Valley this year, who else in the region can?

I would put them at #3 in the region right now, just behind Johnson Central and just ahead of Lawrence and ER. Even with how the region is down this year, I think that's pretty good.

Pikeville is also playing a lot of young guys this year. In the 2010-11 season, after Valley's extremely talented junior class has left, the 15th will be wide-open again, and I fully expect Pikeville to be right there in the mix.
