There are lots of reasons, we think Pikeville is the team to beat in Kentucky’s 1A classification in 2018. Last year, clearly a rebuilding year coming off three consecutive seasons of combined 34-6 football (2014-16) and a State Championship (2015), Pikeville, after hobbling out of the gate 1-4, rebounded with […]
I know when we hear the word Hammock most people immediately think of a piece of back-yard, lounging equipment often used for napping, but people around the Pikeville Football program will have to be excused should they think of something altogether different. In Pikeville, especially around the football sect, the word […]
They have a festival in Pamplona, Spain called The Running of the Bulls which, I am told, originated in the 14th Century, during which six bulls are run from the fields outside of Pamplona to the bullring. During the run, people jump among the bulls to show off their bravado. There are […]
In a performance which can only be described as Good Golly, Miss Molly, with apologies to Hopkinsville’s Little Richard, Carson Wright came to the Mountain All-State Kentucky Combine intent on proving that it is he, and not Hopkinsville’s JT Adams, who is 2023’s top LB.

It is hard to determine just how much impact a freshman is going to have on a varsity football team. When that team is as LOADED as Pikeville High School is heading into the 2018 season, it is really hard to forecast. Now I just recently told you that Pikeville […]

Pikeville ended the regular season 6-4 before reeling off 3 straight against Harlan, Williamsburg, and Hazard. Pikeville was one of the youngest teams, if not THE […]
Since we are on the verge of Father’s Day weekend, and I am writing about a player from the mountains knows as The Bull, I thought I would start this feature with the origin of a saying which was one of my Dad’s favorite sayings both in my youth and even […]
They play a little football around Pike County, Kentucky which the more sophisticated Kentucky High School football fans know full well. Belfry is perennially a powerhouse in the 3A classification and this publication has picked Pikeville High School our preseason number 1 team in Class 1A. Well, there is a new contender […]
As the picture to the immediate left of this paragraph would certainly denote, they have won a lot of football games at Pikeville High School. Maybe that is one reason it was easy for KPGFootball to look at the team’s body of work from last season, its returning roster, its […]
KPGFootball has been pretty effusive in our praise of Coach Chris McNamee’s returning Panther’s prospects in the upcoming season. We have ranked them #1 in our preseason poll, so I would color KPGFootball impressed. Why shouldn’t we be? Pikeville reeled off seven straight wins last season before narrowly falling to […]
