Congratulations to Estill County on winning the tourney yesterday here in Pikeville. I went for a while, and Estill County's QB was easily the most polished one there. Very impressive, nice touch on the ball. Pikeville played with the backup and JV QB since their 1st stringer was on vacation, but I still saw some very promising signs. As for the other teams involved...

Wheelersburg has a VERY nice O. Crisp, WR's ran nice routes, very organised. D secondary looked pretty good as well, they've got some nice athletes.

Shelby Valley looked okay. They will struggle some in the defensive secondary I think, this year.

Betsy Layne has some pretty decent receivers. The QB I saw who got the majority of the reps needs a lot of work. I actually thought the kid who was their #2 at the camp was better. They might struggle on O this year in terms of passing O. Dwas pretty good but they will need some coaching up. Out of position a lot.

Pikeville looked very nice at times, especially considering the backups were throwing. Ran nice routes, caught well. My concern was the RB catching out of the backfield, they need to tighten that up a bit, but I'm sure Coach Mac will address it. Secondary looked really good at times. The LB's seemed to struggle at some times in terms of dropping back into coverage, but I saw some differences after some coaching up and I'm excited about their potential.

Magoffin County is pretty decent on O. Their D secondary struggled a lot covering people though.

Just my opinions. I watched about 3 hours, enough to see every team play at least twice. I know it is just a passing tourney, and I'm not judging whole teams based on what I saw, just expressing my opinion on what I did see.
