[Big Five-0-]

The next stretch of pikeville's schedule is dang tough but I believe the Panther's will win thier next game against Powell Co. but after that it gets real tough. No matter the schedule,Pikeville will get somewhat better by playoff time and they still have a shot at a regional championship. It depends on how they respond to the losses this season. If they start to believe in themselves the way they did last season thier luck will change.

Agreed Backwoods. It's not going to get any easier for the Panthers from here on out.Pikeville is very young at a lot of positions, but have talent. These young players bold well for the future. Imo, by getting that first win will increase confidence for them. However as you stated, how they respond to the losses early in the season will determine how they do down the stretch. Agreed. They will make some noise in the post season. Impressed by Harlan's win last night. Good luck to the Green Dragons next week.
