My opinion of Fairview and Pikeville is based on their recent playoff experience. Fairview has never played a very tough schedule but they have been holding their own in most match-ups with Raceland and LCA in recent years and that is more than can be said of Pikeville. Even with their weak schedule, Massey has Fairview ranked well ahead of Pikeville.

Last year in the playoffs hazard beat Pikeville for the region 59-34 and LCA beat Fairview 23-12. Hazard beat LCA 31-30. So I would give Fairview the defensive edge and Pikeville the offensive edge. This year they are all lumped into the same region with no Hazard or LCA. I can't tell much about Fairview yet but in my opinion Pikeville is a little tougher than they were last season. Their region is definately going to be competitive this year. The team that wins that region will have to beat the other two to do it. With the three being Raceland,Pikeville and Fairview. It's unlikely,But Allen Central (should in all likelihood win in the first round) is a team, that if they catch their second round team not on their toes,could pull off an upset. Improbable but not impossible.
