Pike Central has always bben a classy and first-rate program. I have covered literally dozens of Hawks games, in most all sports, over the years and I have always been treated with respect. I have always had great relationships with Mr. Rowe, Phillip Birchfield, Mr. Lyons, and any and all coaches. I even helped Ms. Lowe coach softball one year and I had a blast. I remember telling the girls not to judge themselves by the other teams in the county(they were always so intimidated by Pikeville) and to be the best team they could be. I think that the football program has tasted some success and they realize they can be as good as any team around. Consistently performing like they have this year will elevate the Hawks program immensely. I cannot speak for anyone else, but I have and will always continue to support all the Pike County Schools. Pike Central has made their mark on the football field and I will be pulling for them on Friday night.
