[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

While we didn't lose many seniors numbers wise. Many intangibles like the leadership on defense of Austin Black. The reliability of Chase Hall. The stalwarts on the line Gage Morrison, Larry David Keene, and the Mullins kid must be replaced moving forward. With that said, Coach Mac and staff doesn't have a bare cupboard by ANY stretch. Lots of battle tested talent on this team both on the line and at the skill positions. Cody Charles has improved year by year and has many weapons at his disposal including arguably the most dangerous player in 1a in Cody Estep. Ben Maynard and Daric Pugh have potential to be a 2 headed monster @ RB. There will be some holes to fill along both lines but they have some capable kids to fill in. On defense, frankly, we stunk last year. But with all the youth we had on D last season should be better with a year under there belts and an off season to get stronger. This team should be a VERY tough out for anyone. We have a tough schedule again But having the playoffs at home will be a big adavantage for this Panther team. If this team buys in and Coach Mac and his staff does what they do. It won't be a surprise to see this team end their season in Bowling Green! GO PANTHERS!!!
