EKUALUM is usually spot on in his preseason assessments.
If they are a true top 10 3A team and will play competitively with Belfry, then I think Wburg and Whitley will have there hands full, which is a food thing. Some were acting like these two teams only scheduled that game as a cupcake, but im think PCC gives both teams a very good game.

It is all about the defense for Pike Central and injuries.

These are the constants you can expect from PC:
- They will have an offense capable of scoring points every year, but about every 3-4 years they will have a Senior team with a multi-year starter at QB that will be truly one of the best offensive teams in EKY. This should be one of those years.

- They will never be a very deep team. Chapman prefers building for that one strong team and then hitting the re-set button. PC still struggles to field a roster with a high number of players as a lot of kids simply don't want to play for Chapman. When PC suffers injuries there is almost always a major drop off to the next guy. This hurt them against Wburg last year and against Belfry in the playoffs.

- Going hand in hand with depth is the fact PC's biggest weakness every year is their D-Line and lack of playmakers on defense. It is almost like PC knows they have a finite amount of quality players and try to stack them on offense and spend most of their time practicing offense. This is not me stating it as fact by any means. That's why I always say that PC will never beat Belfry unless the Hawk Offense can consistently put up around 50 points... because every year it is almost a certainty Belfry will score 49.

PC's offense will be stout next year... Justice will create matchup problems for teams not used to a QB with his skill set. The Elkins kid will be one of the better WR's East of I-75 and the Conn kid has the potential to be a super star over the next 4 years.
