Sayre could be a “Sleeping Giant” in 1A in the not too distant future. Coach Pennington is doing a great job in a building a new program. With that said, Pikeville outclassed Sayre in every facet of the game tonight. Congrats to Coach Mac and our boys. HAIL PIKEVILLE!!!

I don't think they will be. Too many schools in Lexington, at bigger programs pulling athletes for them to ever dominate 1a like your mountain schools. Douglas, Lex Cath, and LCA will pull too many athletes to their programs for Sayre to ever be dominant.

Obviously Pikeville doesn't have near as many high schools as Lexington but there are 3 high schools in Pikeville (Pikeville, Pike Central, and Shelby Valley) and the others would love to poach some Pikeville players and keep kids from transferring to Pikeville...not too mention Belfry is a 25 minute drive from Pikeville High School but Belfry does most of their recruiting in WV. I guess the same can be said for Betsy Layne High School also which is a 10-15 drive from Pikeville High School.
