Mountain rivalries just mean more.
An argument can be made that Pike is the most “Football County” in the Commonwealth. A large contribution to that designation has been Pikeville and Belfry’s success on the gridiron. The two schools have combined for fourteen state championships since 1987. There are counties with more banners. I’m not so sure that any county in the Commonwealth is as passionate as Pike. Football defines the area. Pikeville is the King for the next 365 days after beating Belfry 48-13.
