Paintsville and pikeville are like louisville vs kentucky. It’s a VERY big game. People are saying paintsville will loose. I’ll be honest pikeville is really really good,but why are they saying all these things are they scared?

Show me a post that says anything about a Paintsville player? Pikeville fans think the will win but I don’t see one post saying anything about a player or coaches plus if you read my post it said Pikeville will have no idea what Paintsville offense or defense will look like because of the new coaching staff. For your first post it wasn’t very good.

Man, come Friday evening around 11:p.m., your not only going to be the laughing stock of this site, but all up and down the river cities. Not one poster said anything about any Paintsville player or fan. Tell it to the rain.

[Blue_Bird96]

Go ahead and Give Pikeville the trophy just like last year! Oh wait........... ? We didn't even get to see the Panthers last year!

Lol ! Your little kitties will more than see the Panthers this year bluebirdie. At least Pikeville didn't chicken out and run from anyone last year.

Nope! They just got embarrassed by Hazard! 

A school the size of Pikeville does give them the luxury of being deep at many positions. That certainly gives the Panthers an edge against most 1A programs however, Paintsville typically seems to be able to hold their own. New season, New HC, New style of play and guys having to step up and fill key positions. Curious to see how it shakes out. From the way Pikeville fans have been talking, anything less than a Blowout would be a disappointment. When it comes to this matchup, I couldn’t think of a better way to start the season though! GO TIGERS!!!

WE’RE BACK BABY! JetPilot, I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’ve missed you buddy! I think this game is going to be a lot closer than people think. I could see Pikeville playing right into Paintsville’s strengths. Coach Dad is gonna come out and have QB1 slinging the ball all over the field. Paintsville has the most experience back in the defensive secondary. If you stop the Lockhart kid you have about a 35% higher chance of winning this game. Paintsville matches up pretty fairly with Pikeville on the skill position side of things. On the other hand, in the trenches is where I think Pikeville can do some damage. I’m excited for this game after not seeing the Panthers last year due to Covid and their early playoff exit. Best of luck to both teams! Praying for a injury free and sportsmanship displayed between players, coaches, and fans!
GO TIGERS!
Paintsville - 35

I seriously don't know, so what is Paintsville's strengths this season? Tigers are always good competition year in and year out. Just curious of the strengths that are there this season.

More balanced on offense now that we aren’t having to use an emergency QB due to starter and backup being injured. Secondary is solid with a lot of upperclassman that have played in the big games before. 
And we have a Phelps at RB.

The Phelps kid can make a big difference in this game. Hopefully the offensive line stays healthy because he could have another monster year. With his elusiveness he just needs someone to get in the way of a defender. I promise you this, he will make the first defender miss every time.

Definitely MM. This was a smart move by both schools, gives them 2 chances to get a 10th game. And no better opening game anywhere than this opener!

With Phelps and all of the returners on the offensive line the Tigers will be tough for anyone to stop. Pikeville probably has more returners than any team in the state.  The pieces are there but what changes should we expect from Pikeville after underperforming last year?

[dodger]

Why did evangel Christian cancel on Pikeville?

They will not be fielding a team this year.

Well crap. That means that Letcher central will be a game short too.

 Williamsburg is also short because of Evangel Christian.  They're both free on 9/17, so maybe that one can take place.  I know the Burg tries to always do the Alumni Bowl on 9/10, but I'd imagine finding any decent 10th game would be the number priority.

Blackburn #76 didn’t graduate last year for Paintsville?

[jetpilot]

^^^Blackburn, H Ousley, Hopson gone...as well as most leading tacklers.

[Josiewales]

^^^ You are correct. Replacing several holes in the offense and defense.

[MountainMamba]

^^^Blackburn, H Ousley, Hopson gone...as well as most leading tacklers.

You’re right... just like every other team that have successful kids that stay all 4 years and buy into the system. Somebody else will step up. Losing Hyden and Lovely to graduation obviously hurt, but like I said we’ll be just fine!

I will only be surprised if they lay a complete egg. Too much talent and experience for them to not preform well against a Paintsville team that is replacing a lot of players in the front 7 on defense. Paintsville will be fine and has the talent to beat anyone but we will need some game reps to get the game to slow down for us.

[jetpilot]

I never said Paintsville wouln't be fine. But if Pikeville is like 2019 then...well never mind. Looking forward to tomorrow to find out where everyone is at. Doesn't guarantee anything in December but we will find out if Pikeville is a huge favorite in Class A, a slight favorite or not the favorite at all. I am expecting a statement game from Pikeville.

[jetpilot]

*wouldn't

Paintsville and pikeville are like louisville vs kentucky. It’s a VERY big game. People are saying paintsville will loose. I’ll be honest pikeville is really really good,but why are they saying all these things are they scared?

I know. I know.

[kai]

To much being placed on this game. Other than being a rivalry it does not mean much at this point. Pikeville is good and will get better and be the team to beat in 1A, however, Paintsville must use this game to learn and start implementing new systems and see who can do what on both sides of the ball. Paintsville's sole focus should be improvement with eye toward beating Raceland.

True statement that to much emphasis on this game but it does have some importance. 1 it gives that team a slight advantage in the RPI system we play in and I know that is in accordance to how the rest of the season goes for both teams. It is a rivalry game for both. Like you said this is the first game and hopefully both teams get better each game barring no injuries. Between these two there has been a few times who won the first didn’t win the second. Just hope there is no injuries to either team but this game don’t make a season. Well for the first time this season GO PANTHERS!!!

2020 Pikeville could beat anyone in Class A by 3 TDs on any given night. Their problem was they could also lose on any given night. Hope they are hungry and that won't be a problem this year.

GO TIGERS!!!

I think the Panther offense is going surprise some folks this year.  Though stopping Lockhart definitely will give you a better shot at a W, its gonna be much harder to do this year.  Panthers were a little one dimensional in their passing game last year due to not being able to have 7 on 7 and taking longer to develop WR's. I think you are gonna hear a lot of different names catching the ball this year, there are a lot of mismatches out there. Also the panthers are DEEP. I have never seen a Panther squad as deep as this years. Defensively they can rotate D lineman and LB's .After watching the Middlesboro scrimmage Paintsville seems to struggle against larger stronger opponents and they will have their hands full on Friday.  Panthers by 28
