Pikeville takes first win of 2024, defeats state title rival Raceland

RACELAND, Ky. (WYMT) – For the first time in the WYMT era, Pikeville entered week four with an overall 0-3 record on the season. However, the Panthers returned to their winning ways against state title foe Raceland.

The Class A state title rematch was a defensive battle in the beginning, with both teams doing everything they could to win the game.

Neither team scored until the second quarter, when Isaac Duty found Mikey Hager outside the numbers and raced into the end zone for the game’s opening score.

Ultimately, the Panthers achieved their first victory of the season: 16-13.

Pikeville’s tough matchups don’t go away after Week 4. The Panthers prepare to host No. 3 Belfry on Sept. 20.
