This may sound stupid. But, I think Pikeville played very well in this game. Picked off the first offense play for Boyle, put together a scoring drive in the first half to cut it to 14-7 with about 5 minutes left until halftime. The defense forced a couple punts in the first half. Taylor Ratliff and Randy Maynard showed me a lot of toughness combined with some serious skill. Both made some great catches, and Taylor had a huge hit on a Boyle Wide out. Clark Keene, JR Robinson, and Ross McCoy ran hard all night without much daylight. Blake Branham forced some throws, but when he didn't he made very good decisions and threw a lot of good balls, and was very effective rolling out and throwing. The score is a result of being out of Boyle county's league. But I saw some very good things out of this team tonight, and am proud of the effort they put forth.

Great post Panther Thunder! I think people will look back on this time and remember it as when Pikeville turned the corner to start being the old Pikeville again.
