Final

This one must have been one heckuva comeback or I heard the info wrong earlier in this one. I had heard that PCC had Fairview down by a couple of td's early and weren't having a lot of trouble getting the lead.

Dag gone it.

Nice comeback by the eagles, but it seemed like PCC panicked, and had crucial turnovers late in the game. seemed like neither team could stop the other until the last few possessions.

This one must have been one heckuva comeback or I heard the info wrong earlier in this one. I had heard that PCC had Fairview down by a couple of td's early and weren't having a lot of trouble getting the lead.

 

PC had the game won. Had an 8 point lead and stopped Fairview on 4th Down in the redzone with around 2:30 to go after Fairview had struggled to stop them all night.

 

Central then went 3 and Out and nearly turned the ball over on a fumble. A short punt had Fairview set up in PC Territory before a 5 yard penalty move the ball back...Fairview took one play to tie it. Pike Central gets the ball back and promptly throws an INT.. Fairview scores their second touchdown within :45 or so of the First. PC still had almost 2 minutes to work with.. they pick up a couple quick First Downs then throw anther INT to seal it.

 

Very entertaining game, but a very ugly game. There were 5 total turnovers in the 1st Quarter and Pike Central threw no less than 4 or 5 INT's. Both teams gashed the other with big plays aided by awful tackling.

 

Pike Central is an average 3A team and IMHO will be the 3 Seed in 3A District 8. Injuries or not...if Fairview expected to contend with a team like Mayfield PC is the type of team they should beat with relative ease.

 

All in all just further solidifies that the Eastern 1A Semi-State is going to be the Wild West come November... lots of very even teams with solid offenses who have no ability to stop one another.

Pike Central really lacks good receivers and that really hurts their QB.

This killed the in week one and I have heard the WREC play is still below par.
