No Shelby Valley will win this one pretty convincingly

[Fanatic42]

Shelby Valley has given up an Enormous amount of points the last 3 games. I believe 148 I saw. Pike Central has had its problems scoring points this Season but the last game they finally looked to have found some things that work. The Hawks Defense is where they really shine. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Hawks Win this one. Closer than many think.

[64SUR]

Shelby Valley big, big, big and bigger!!!

[pirateforlife]

Pike Central said for years if they could get out of district with Belfry and go to 2A they’d win their district. Well Friday night we will see. They have their chance against Betsy Layne and SV coming up

Going Valley

Maybe in the past. But this year is Betsy Layne and Shelby’s Valleys to lose.

[devils88]

Valley will win big. Valley strength of schedule had them battle tested and will have them firing on all cylinders. I think they should run through their district this year with no one close them.

Betsy Layne will Win the District.

I honestly have no idea what to expect out of this game.  If you had asked me before the season, I would expected Valley to roll by around 3-4 touchdowns.  But PC seems to be a bit better than what everybody thought, while Valley has been a disappointment.  

The big question is, what happened to SV's defense?  After a so-so performance against Letcher, the Wildcats held Lawrence scoreless, then only allowed 7 to Martin Co.  Another so-so game against Middlesboro only hinted at what was to come next.  Valley was unable to slow down Perry Central's offense, giving up 58 points in a shootout. Then the bottom fell out in their last game, giving up 62 points in an embarrassing loss to previously winless ETown.  There are some serious problems for the Wildcat defense right now.

Valley's offense, on the other hand, has been just as inconsistent.  This team should be scoring 30+ points every week, but it hasn't seemed to gel for the offense just yet.  However, with all the talent on that side of the ball, the potential is there every week to put up a bunch of points.  Hopefully they can find some consistency there.

As for this game, you can't really look at their respective records.  Pike Central may be 5-1, but their schedule has been relatively weak.  They do have a 3 point victory over Martin Co, but also have an ugly loss to PBurg.  Meanwhile, Shelby Valley is 3-3 including a win over Martin Co, but also wins over Lawrence Co and Middlesboro.  The blowout loss to ETown looks pretty bad, though.

In the end, I predict that PC won't be able to stop Valley's passing attack, and the Cats will make enough defensive stops to win.

Valley 33-21

I'm so glad that this is a Thursday Night game. I'm ready for some Football. One more day.

[Colonel4Life1999]

Shelby Valley should win this one handily, battle for a district title next week when BL comes to town

SV 42
PCC 17

[nemo]

Shelby Valley up 14-0

3:40 1st quarter

[Khalisimo]

pike centrals offense has been bad all year now theyre showing the weakness of the defense

[Spud6]

I don't know if this is SV's normal game plan. But they are up 26-0 in the 1st quarter and have kicked two onside kicks.

[Spud6]

Shelby Valley 35
Pike Central 0

End of 1st quarter

That could easily be the worst quarter of football that I have ever watched a team play

[pirateforlife]

Anybody that has watched these 2 teams knew it’d been valley big. The 2 local media polls had Pike Central above valley. Barely beating sisters of the poor every week shouldn’t get you ranked but hey at least PC will beat you in 5th grade football. Going to 2A didn’t help them any. Valley beating them just as bad as Belfry did

[More Cowbell]

41-0 at the half. 

Been a running clock the last 8 minutes.

Do you all always kick onside kicks after every TD?

[pirateforlife]

Betsy Layne and Shelby Valley will be a good game I believe. Where is that game and when?

Not sure. First game I’ve seen in person this year.

But they’ve done that a lot over the years. No idea why.

[More Cowbell]

Betsy Layne and Shelby Valley will be a good game I believe. Where is that game and when?

Next week at Valley

Shelby valley is a good team you cant let there record fool you they have played some good teams . yea pike central has played lesser team's. but them lesser teams was beating pike central with running clocks before the john paul era and after him until 2019 and after so id say its good they can do.
