Whats everyones opinions?

Pikeville is a mountain top 10 team beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Which team would you place them above? I think that this is a very solid top ten from top to bottom. The #10 team N. Laurel beat a Leslie Co. team 17-0 that was barely beaten by the #4 team Bell Co. 7-0.

I'd have to second that one, but then again what do you win for being the #1 team in the WYMT rankings. Its a long season and teams can look really good or really bad on a given week. Only a couple of weeks ago Southwestern was ranked as high as 3, now they're coming off 2 losses and not ranked at all. Corbin is 2-4 and Somerset is 1-4 and I wouldn't be suprised at all to see either run the table the rest of the regular season, Clay has been putting up video game like numbers all year but face their first real test next week against Rockcastle. These things usually work themselves out.

^^^Good post, you are right of course.

I would put them above a few of these teams. Pikeville did beat Prestonsburg handily. Sheldon Clark couldn't beat them. So SC is not in my top 10 for starters. Pikeville played the #3 team at least even tonight, leading in the 4th quarter before losing. I consider them to be as good as #3. Since you asked, I would also put them above North Laurel and Harlan for sure, probably Clay Co. and possibly Breathitt and Middlesboro...but it's all someone's opinion and means absolutely nothing both now and especially when the playoffs start...

Sheldon Clark just got beat by Prestonsburg, Pikeville BEAT the burg. I am not saying that Pikeville is better than Sheldon Clark, but I feel that getting beat by pburg should have knocked them out of the top 10.

Just going from scores I'd have to put them as even with or better than numbers 7-10. Don't sweat it though Billy, I think Pikeville has lost their last game until somewhere in November--the ones I mentioned before haven't.

I agree Zeus, Pikeville should be in there, I am just glad someone proved that SC isn't all they were thought to be. Congrats to the Panthers on a hard fought gamen against Belfry, and it was awesome to attend.

I am just thankful of the atmosphere, no major injuries, and a hard fought game. I am proud of our Panthers. They never gave up.

I agree they didn't give up Zeus, but there is one big reason that Pikeville lost this game, and it is the play of #2, he let way too much get to him and he was a defensive killer with all of the penalties called against him. He didn't have a good game at all in my opinion, football takes talent, but it also takes the ability to be able to handle the pressure and play with some respect and sportsmanship!

He is indeed very competitive, but I think you took his aggressiveness in the wrong light, "so to speak"....I would take this kid to raise as my own. Very polite, "yes, sir" and "no, sir" type of kid. NO PROBLEM whatsoever. His emotions do sometimes get the best of him ON THE FIELD, but he is working on it. Please do not blame this KID. The loss is NOT his fault.:thumb:

I don't have a dog in this fight but there is no cause to call out and place the blame on one kid. These are 16-18 year old kids would you like to go back and have everything you did at that age critiqued by people that don't know what you're thinking or going through. To make a general comment about a team is one thing, to single out a player is just wrong--you should be ashamed of yourself.
