[TigerBlues]

They lost their original #1 rb to a torn labrum or acl injury for the season. The JC tranfer broke his hand in a non-football related injury, but is due back week 3 i think. Paintsville sill be competitive, they hae some size upfront, but imo, tey are still a few years away from being a real contender for their district. Damien Belcher(JC Transfer) is a stud, but will really be all they have. Kash Daniel is a legit D1 SIZE qb, i just dont think hehas the recieving core to make him a real threat to throw alot. I do think Paintsville is headed in the right direction though. Their numbers aren't like Raceland's either. Raceland can go 2 deep at almost every position without much drop off. So can Pikeville, Hazard, and Wburg.

Belcher played in the scrimmage at Betsy Lane and was a beast on both sides of the ball according to three different people that saw the game. He will be ready week one at Morgan Co. If Phelps were healthy this team would be dangerous but the Tigers have minimal depth.
