Pikeville tags state rival Raceland for first win of the season
The Pikeville Panthers finished Week 3 of the season with an overall record of three losses and, unusual for the team, nothing in the win column. However, this past Friday they changed that in a close fought campaign with the Raceland Rams.
The game, a rematch of the Class A state title game, started slow for scoring, showcasing both the Panthers’ and the Rams’ tough defenses.
That trend would continue until Isaac Duty, who struggled in the game rushing out of the pocket for a loss of 14 yards in total, connected with Mikey Hager who took the reception to the endzone to break the scoring stalemate.
The Panthers ended with 112 yards rushing and 178 yards passing, with their two touchdowns a result of two catches, with Bradyn Hall tacking on the second following Hager’s second quarter opening TD reception.
Pikeville’s defense, shining early in the contest, stacked up five sacks over the course of the game.
When the dust settled, the Panthers put their first win of the season in the books with the final score 16-13.
Tomorrow the Panthers will prepare to meet the Belfry Pirates at home.
Belfry rolls past Southwestern 47-26
The Belfry Pirates went on the road to defeat the Southwestern Warriors during the September 13 match in Somerset.
The scoring started early with JD Woolum scoring on one of his three first-half running touchdowns to start the game with the Pirates on top 7-0.
The Warriors failed to answer and see Belfry score again soon after when Chase Varney connected with Cayden Varney for a touchdown pass bringing the total over Southwestern to 12-0.
Then it was Woolum’s turn again, rushing for another first-half touchdown for a score of 19-0 in the Pirates favor.
By the end of the game, Southwestern had tallied 26 points, but it wouldn’t be enough as the Belfry Pirates finished by a comfortable margain, 47-26.
The loss left the Southwestern Warriors with a season record of 0-3, while Belfry now has a record standing of 2-2 and faces Pikeville for their next game.
