Friday night, two championship-caliber teams meet in a star-studded edition of the KSR Game of the Week. The defending 1A State Champion Belfry Pirates travel to Pikeville to clash with the defending 3A State Champion Pikeville Panthers (#25 in KSR’s Week 4 Kentucky High School Football Rankings).
You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better coaching matchup than Pikeville’s Chris McNamee and Belfry’s Phillip Haywood, the latter often regarded as one of the greatest high school football coaches of all time.
Belfry ALL-IN on the Run Game
Over in Pike County, rumor has it that Coach Haywood doesn’t even practice quarterback drills as it seems all he wants to do is pound the rock down the defense’s throat.
