I think Pikeville will be better than last year as well. They will be more verticle in the passing game and wont be as much as a threat of 3 yards and a cloud of dust, simply bc I dont think Maynard, Pugh, or any of the other backs having quite the break away speed that Hall did. But they will be better at controlling the clock with Pugh's downhill style. They have a stronger line this year as well.

Raceland, I think will have a similar season to 2012 Pikeville. They will take some lumps early on against Ashland and possibly Lawrence Co, but by playoff time I think they will have grown as a team and coaching staff and be primed for another battle at Panther Stadium. However, they have never won there. So thats a factor. We are a little over a week from the regular season and a few days away from game situation scrimmages in the EKC/NEKC and SEKC grids. Good luck to all and lets get ready for some HS football!

Pugh is faster than Hall. Not saying he will be a better RB (who is) but he is faster.
