We are approaching for most teams the fifth or sixth game of the year. District play either started last night or begins for most teams next Friday Night. Point is, it is getting serious. We believe Pikeville is right in the thick of the 1A race, their record (3-3) notwithstanding. The polls around the Bluegrass would indicate we aren’t the only ones. There is something which seems to have worked well all year that the Panthers need to continue (in our opinion). Get the ball to Mikey Hager! He won’t let you down, we certify that as a FACT. The advice is free.

Friday Night Fletch

Hillard Howard is a mountain coaching legend. He was a Kentucky “Golden Gloves” title holder, a two-time title holder in West Virginia, and the national “Golden Gloves” title holder in 1970. He retired from coaching with a 244-69-1 overall record and a 3-2 mark in state title games. Before retiring to Florida, he started the program at Letcher County Central and posted 10-1, 10-2, and 11-3 his last three seasons. The guy was just a winner as assuredly as I live in the “Pennyroyal” region of the commonwealth of Kentucky. Enoy the feature.

Friday Night Fletch.

Has there been a better RB in the KHSAA over the past several years than Senior, Blake Birchfield. Not for our money! Birchfield has his Panthers knocking on the door of yet another title. We thought it would be a good idea to award him a box of protein goodness to fortify him for the journey. Enjoy this article and don’t forget to make the time to #savortheflavor of the country’s finest all-beef jerky products. HB.

Class of ’23, @wadehensley29 from @PikevilleHSFB an example of the Panthers being loaded with talent. @1776Bank @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @MaxPreps @KyHighFootball

Year after year Pikeville High School has talent come off its bus which defies all logic in evaluating a Kentucky 1A roster. We would suppose that is why the Panthers are perpetually in the Title hunt at the 1A classification in football. Wade Hensley, and talent very much like him, promises the Panthers are likely to be in the hunt in ’22 also. Enjoy this feature. HB.

@b_anthony2305 (Brenden Anthony), Class of ’25, from @PikevilleHSFB, is turning quite a few heads with his play. @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @1776Bank @KyHighFootball

Brenden Anthony is one of Kentucky’s very finest at the MLB position Kentucky-wide in the ’25 class. We think he gets some varsity burn this year even though a freshman attempting to mesh into one of the most talented rosters at that classification of play. Enjoy this look at a top-5 player at his positions and with his particular skill-set. HB.
