The schedule had nothing to do with the injuries. Zero. It’s football and they had some bad luck. A kid got hurt first day of practice in pads. Another had a hamstring issue all year. Another had a non contact knee injury. Two got hurt on kickoff teams late in the year and not against the gauntlet. All starters who are playmakers. Just bad luck. Anthony was hurt against JC and stayed hurt all year but that was Pike County Bowl and Pikeville usually plays someone tough that game. Two linemen were hurt including their best DE early in the game against Sayre. Those were most of the big ones. Pikeville played poorly this year. Not because of a schedule or a dip in talent but due to a lot of factors that have been regurgitated or suggested repeatedly. They had 2-3 more wins on the schedule. They will be good next year. I really think people are going to be surprised and I also think there may be transfers in that could help. Even with the roster they have, they are going to be a handful. I say that assuming the offense gets fixed.

At CAL may be the first game. Cabell Midland maybe for Pike County Bowl. I would guess Belfry away and Raceland at home are still on there and their district games against Hazard away and Paintsville at home. Haven’t heard for sure about JC or LCA.  Also not sure if they discussed a return game to GRC because they agreed to come play at Pikeville last minute this year. That’s still a difficult schedule. I look for them to try to get another winnable 2A, 3A, or 4A team on there. Personally, I’d like to see any of Prestonsburg, Somerset, Letcher Central, Breathitt, Ashland, Bell, Corbin, Sayre come to Pikeville. There was mention of a game at a neutral site halfway with Mayfield last year. That would be fun. I don’t think Pikeville cares about manipulating RPI. Maybe they should but I expect another challenging schedule.

Great post. Only thing I will add is assuming special teams gets fixed too.

Cabell Midland schedule is out and shows them playing at Pikeville. Assume that's the PCB?

Correct.

[TheTruth!]

I look for a big season out of Anderson and Justice on defensive side for sure. I think justice steps into the roll at running back along with jacob brown and has a big impact. Also heard they might get a few transfers from belfry like varney brother but they will never leave Belfry. You’ll getting that 8th grade year team years ago that went to state championship if I’m not mistaken.

[jetpilot]

Be surprised if anyone leaves Belfry because they are loaded and should running clock everyone in 2A district and maybe region also. But Pikeville will be loaded too and hungry and a hungry Pikville is a nightmare for Class A and yes I mean Sayre and Raceland and everyone else too. Got great players at skill positions who have been biding their time waiting their turn who are going to turn a lot of heads. Defense will be championship caliber again. Just need to avoid injuries and fix play calling and special teams IMO.

[jetpilot]

Pikeville has coming up:
7th graders lost middle school semis this year when winning TD was called back with seconds left in the game
8th graders next year won 6th grade state championship in 23, winning the championship game 30-0.
Freshmen next year just demolished the entire state going 15 or 16-0 with a state championship.
Sophs and Jrs next year are loaded winning almost all JV games including Ironton last year and Johnson Central twice this year if I'm not mistaken.
Sr class next year is excellent as well.
Pikeville set up for another long run if they avoid the injury bug and stay hungry.

I heard #0 Mikey Hager will never be the same. Inside information tells me he his dad, Jamey Hager, wants him to quit over being scared of reinjury.

The future is looking very bright for the panthers. The skill positions are completely loaded with Hager slone reynolds and brown. I also think that coach sullivan will figure out something with the defense. I am confident that the 2025 season will be great

Is it just a rumor about Trevor Hoskins going to Pikeville and being the offensive coordinator or is the is actually going to happy?

Look at what he’s coaching. Hoskins was a hell of QB and anywhere he goes I think he’s going to develop a good QB. Pikeville standards sure wasn’t good this year.

I agree with Harold. Hoskins might’ve been a good QB but it doesn’t seem it’s translating to his coaching. Pikeville has enough coaches that are all well respected.

Sure, Pikeville did not have the best season this year, but you have to consider the many injuries that happened throughout the season and the seniors that were lost during after the 2023 season. This was definitely a rebuild season for the panthers and I do not see this as a coaching problem, I see this as an injury problem and a step forward, if anything.

Disappointing and big news if true. I noticed he wasn’t playing basketball.  Passing game wasn’t quite the same after he went down along with some
others. Good player but Panthers are deepest at the skill positions so someone will need to step up.

[Buffs19]

There are a few trolls on this thread trying to create rumors that aren't true. Be cautious what you believe. As far as I know, all underclassmen from last year's team are planning on playing next year for Pikeville, including those that were injured this past season.

True. Looking ahead to the upcoming season which no doubt will be a great one with the talent returning. Not getting caught up in the fake news that's being conjured up by some trolls on this forum.

[2000PHS]

I think Hoskins would be an excellent play caller for a team with good skill players. Not saying Paintsville didn’t have some good athletes, but injuries really limited what we could do at times this year.

Funny you say that, because Pikeville approached Hoskins during the regular season about coming to Pikeville to be their OC. That’s a fact.

I can’t say yes or no. I’d imagine if Floyd Central offers him the head coaching job, he’d take it. Pretty sure that’s where his wife is from and the rumor mill says they’ve been building a house in that neck of the woods. If Floyd Central goes a different direction, I could see him as Pikeville’s OC.

Good vibes. That's all. Good vibes.
