I agree that Pikeville will be the district favorite and the chances of them winning in Pikeville are very slim, considering that they run an offense that doesnt suit the program. Paintsville over the past few years (before Chuke) they were more of a passing team and run a more open offense. Now, they rarely throw the ball, stay in the same set, and run the ball to the right 95% of the time that they have possession of the football. Now that is definitely an offense that isnt to hard to shut down.

WHAT????? Yes Pikeville will be the favorite, but Paintsville COULD beat them at Pikeville. The last few years Paintsville has thrown the ball alot, but I guess it helps when you got a QB who CAN throw the ball, Pugh isn't a very good passer at all. What are you talking about, "Offinse that isn't to hard to shut down? I didn't see ANYONE or ANY TEAM keep Paintsville's RB's under 100 yards in ANY GAME, not even Pikeville, Grundy VA, JC, OR HARLAN (and they were one of top rushing D's in Class A and the state.) The Tigers finished the season with almost 3,000 yards rushing, sounds to me like that offense was pretty tough to stop. Chuke has made a living running this offense, he hasn't led the state (always in top 5) in rushing for the last 10-12 years running anything different. This offense is PERFECT for this team, the linemen at Pville are 10 TIMES better run blocking then they are pass blocking. If everyone stays healthy, Hans Doderer could break the 2,000 yard mark this season (had 1,200 this past season and he missed 5-6 games), and Pugh will get his 1,000 yards this year (just shy this past season, finished with like 975 yards), and Wes Ward could possibly reach the 1,000 yard mark too (had over 500 this past year.) Sounds to me like you need to rethink your thoughts about this Tiger team, especially considering they only lost 1 player, and he was a defensive lineman.
