I was staying out of this "discussion" as both sides make good points. I will say this, even after the 40 point loss early in the season, Pikeville players and staff were VERY confident heading into the playoff matchup. A confidence that I didn't see a week later against Fairview. Raceland has a strong program and will, no doubt, be a factor in the Class A playoffs again in 2013. So will Pikeville. The point I agree with the most is Scotty Bronson's point that what happened in the playoffs last year has little affect on what will happen this year. This is a fun rivalry and I've enjoyed the respect and good natured relationship shown between the two teams. It's something that is sorely lacking in most rivalries today, unfortunately.

I will go one step further...I believe it will have absolutely NO effect on what happens this year.:popcorn:
