It is with a heavy heart KPGFootball publishes this last and 15th edition of this series of articles chronicling the 2018 Pikeville Football season. Two 11-2 football teams took the field yesterday with only one State Football Championship available for the 1A classification. That fact would prove quite sad. At […]
Pikeville will host, for its last regular season game, the Rebels from Fort Gay, WV just off of highway 52 near Glanhayes. As you can well imagine, these boys are pretty tough, especially in light of how kids can be cruel and you know their hailing from Fort Gay, West […]
Well, Pikeville High School fell to a powerful Belfry team but not before acquitting itself way better than the 56-13 drubbing it suffered to the Pirates on Pond Creek in 2017.

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.
