Agreed. Loved the intensity from the Panthers tonight. Look out Class A. Campbellsville is the only team that can knock them off and if Pikeville cleans up their issues it's a 4-peat.

We keep hearing “only Campbellsville can knock off Pikeville this year”. How are so many people in 1A looking clean over Hazard? Hazard definitely looks to have more than enough to be at the top spot of 1A.

After losses last night by both Pikeville and Raceland in the KHSAA great RPI ranking they are now ranked #23 (Raceland) and #26 (Pikeville). lol

The game is posted on MTS. If only there were sideline and on field audio too. Not an excuse for any coaches behavior because they have to be an example for the kids to follow but some on both sides might be surprised by what their little darlings are saying during the game. So, be careful throwing stones from either side. Enjoy the competition and stop with the holier than thou stuff I’ve seen circulating. All involved on both sides need to do better.

Pikeville more rushing yards and more passing yards. Anthony who rushed for 206 yds and 3 TDs against Belfry last year limited to 4 carries on offense due to injury. That and shooting themselves in the foot 10+ times. Pikeville cleans up all the mistakes and gets healthy I'll take them all night long.

I didn’t see anyone put it on someone in that game. Winning a rep isn’t dominating. The dominant line for Belfry really wasn’t so dominant Friday night. They had a new passing attack until they didn’t. Belfry won the game and that is what matters. But if you look at it, Pikeville’s offense and defense performed better. Offensive play calling for Pikeville, injuries, turnovers, and special teams won the game for Belfry. They had some good plays. The option hurt Pikeville when they had some guys out on defense and Belfry exploited that. That’s how it played out. I thought Belfry outcoached Pikeville by a comfortable margin Friday night. I would like to know the penalty yardage on both teams. I think time of possession second half is fairly lopsided.

What allowed Belfry to have sustained success running the ball in the 2nd Half vs. the First Half?
To me that was the story of the game along with Special Teams.
Belfry had less than 50 total yards in the First Half and could sustain no success between the tackles, but in the 2nd Half Belfry feasted on Pikeville between the tackles and when Pikeville needed stops Belfry rode the fullback regularly for chunks of yardage.
Pikeville should still be the favorite in 1A but if there is a year they would be vulnerable I think this is the year. Obviously a fully healthy Anthony makes them immediately more dangerous (although Isaiah Stanley was far from chopped liver, he played a great game at RB and LB and I am not sure Anthony adds much to what Stanley did most of the game, but having a fresh set of legs doing that every down the entirety of the game is definitely a big plus).
Here is what I will critique about Pikeville:
- I have never seen them look that rough on Special Teams under Coach Mac. In year's past, Pikeville's Special Teams actually was a positive that helped them beat Belfry. Kicking game, kick return game, and kick coverage game all looked very young and very green.
- I think Pikeville's starting OLine and DLine are still pretty solid, but for the first time in a long time they looked like a really good small school line and not a really good line regardless of class. I was surprised at the level of penetration and pressure Belfry's front was able to generate.
I don't see the depth on Pikeville's OLine like they have had in the past.
IMHO, the line of scrimmage has been the spot Pikeville has utilized to take a stranglehold of Class 1A. I still think if they stay healthy they have enough horses to still win the LOS against all other 1A teams, but for the first time in several years I think Pikeville is an injury or two away at the wrong time from saying they enter a game with a "wash" in that department or having a "bad night" when the other team plays their best game.
It is simply worth noting because for the better part of the last five years if you asked me if Pikeville's starting defense would give up 14 points in a playoff game I would take the under every single time and be proven right.

As far as who was the better team, tonight it was Belfry but I feel like this would go back and forth if they played multiple times. When the season started I assumed Pikeville would be the better team, then after watching Belfry and JC I thought Belfry would beat Pikeville. But all in all they looked like a good matchup and every game they play each other will be entertaining. Pikeville looked better out of the gate and was making long sustained drives on the ground. When Belfry had to start drives on their side of the field Pikeville usually held them and made them punt. Pikeville's special teams was not good. They didn't cover one punt good and Belfry runs it down to like the 5 yard line and that's a easy score. They had 2 different punts where they had bad snaps and the punter had to just grab the ball and kick it somewhere. I feel like Belfry started both of those drives around the Pikeville 20 yard line. I feel like Belfry returned a kick off pretty deep in Pikeville territory also but I could be wrong on that. But when you let a good team like Belfry start drives in the red zone it makes it near impossible on your defense. I think if Pikeville cleaned up there special teams play their defense makes enough stops to win. Pikeville looked good running the ball and on their first drive they marched straight down and scored and then second possession they threw 3 incomplete passes and had to punt. I didn't really understand that logic. Belfry players seemed to be taunting the Pikeville players at the end when it was pretty much in hand and I didn't care for that because for one you didn't dominate them by any means and Pikeville had won the last 5 meetings I think they said. I know some don't like all the streaming but I have to say it allows me to watch more football so I am a fan. Not sure what the environment was like at this game but Imagine both teams had a large fan section. It was a fun game to watch. Good luck to both teams moving forward.

Just noticed Anthony not credited with a single tackle (since he wasn't out there) on D after being credited with 18 the week before at Raceland. Just as big or bigger than being limited to 4 carries on offense. Clean up the sloppiness and get everybody healthy and Pikeville will look like Pikeville again (4-peat).

After watching this game in person and on replay, Pikeville has some serious issues
1) special teams were bad. I’d hate to be the coach in charge of that
2) offensive play calling wasn’t good with loads of time wasted at the end of the game. Almost like they quit.
3) penalties. Too many men on the field multiple times
4) qb struggles with anything down field. Our db was burnt multiple times and he couldn’t connect
5). Pass selection. Seems like an is locked on one receiver coming out of huddle. Threw into four or five man coverage.
Great win by our pirates but not too happy about some of the antics we displayed. Coach Haywood may be losing it. Teams of the past acted like we were supposed to win. I saw multiple occasions of our boys acting up at the end of the game. I know Pikeville wasn’t innocent but this game went to far. We should act like a winning program and when we beat little brother like we did act like we have some class. Yea I know I’ll catch some heat from the Pirate faithful but it is what it is.
And the coach who flipped the bird to the player shouldn’t have reacted to a kid. The refs let this one get out of control. Glad we came away injury free

Just as big or bigger than being limited to 4 carries on offense. Clean up the sloppiness and get everybody healthy and Pikeville will look like Pikeville again (4-peat).Anthony played the entire game on defense. If he come out it wasn’t very much.

1) special teams were bad. I’d hate to be the coach in charge of that
2) offensive play calling wasn’t good with loads of time wasted at the end of the game. Almost like they quit.
3) penalties. Too many men on the field multiple times
4) qb struggles with anything down field. Our db was burnt multiple times and he couldn’t connect
5). Pass selection. Seems like an is locked on one receiver coming out of huddle. Threw into four or five man coverage.
Great win by our pirates but not too happy about some of the antics we displayed. Coach Haywood may be losing it. Teams of the past acted like we were supposed to win. I saw multiple occasions of our boys acting up at the end of the game. I know Pikeville wasn’t innocent but this game went to far. We should act like a winning program and when we beat little brother like we did act like we have some class. Yea I know I’ll catch some heat from the Pirate faithful but it is what it is.
And the coach who flipped the bird to the player shouldn’t have reacted to a kid. The refs let this one get out of control. Glad we came away injury free

Both teams should just move on. Tired of the antics from the fans. Social media has made a joke of this rivalry
You make some good points but lol at "little brother"
Pikeville has as many or more kids on the roster nowadays and Belfry just got their first win since September of 2018.
I don't think either is bigger I just think of Belfry as our country cousins.
