This district showdown will decide the number 1 seed in the district. Pikeville sits at 7-2 on the season with its lone losses to 2A Lexington Christian Academy and 6A Madison Central. Hazard sits at 6-3 on the season with losses to 2A Middlesboro, 2A Danville, and 4A Letcher County Central. Pikeville comes in averaging just over 33 points per game  and giving up just over 11 points per game. Hazard comes in averaging just over 26 points per game and giving up just over 15 points per game. 
 

Who wins this big district matchup? Does Pikeville avenge its playoff loss from last year? Does Hazard pick up the huge district win and shock the Class 1A world again?

Some interesting stats here. Since 1998 these teams have played 27 times. This meeting Friday will make the 28th. Pikeville holds the edge 17-10. They have met 10 times in the playoffs and Hazard holds the edge in that one 6-4.

9/3/21 .......Pikeville 48 Letcher County Central 7

9/10/21 .....Letcher County Central 36 Hazard 0

That is a big difference. Why would I look at those scores and think Hazard has a chance in this one?

 

Pikeville 37

Hazard 14

I don't see a let down in this one. Pikeville's tough schedule and the fact that they have had this game circled since last year has them win this one convincingly. 

Pikeville 31

Hazard 7

I think this will be a revenge game and if given the chance Pikeville will try to gap Hazard by as much as possible.

The trap is going to be laid this week. Like last year, Hazard is going to roll over and let Pikeville run the clock on them in the regular season before shocking the football world in the playoffs. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pikeville, big. They've had this one circled on the calender in red ink since the moment they walked off the turf at Hillard Howard Field last year.
