Actually I would like to ammend my list. I think pburg has earned a spot. They played great against pikeville and they've smoked everyone else on their schedule. Pburg's QB, Jarrell, threw for over 220 yards and 3 touchdowns against Pikeville. They also rushed for over 100+ yards as well. They may be higher than that by the time its all said and done?

...

Prestonsburg has made a habit of improving greatly over the course of a season over the past few years. I think the coaching staff cut back on the full contact stuff pre-season a bit mainly to minimize the risk of injury. Though the Blackcats tend to look a bit ragged at season start as a result, the improvement curve week to week is noticeable and the team has been peaking at season's end (vs. burning out as I've seen happen in the past... and some local teams still do it).

My hope is Prestonsburg ends up looking "ragged" in retrospect in its first game vs. the Panthers. If it happens that way the Blackcats will end up MUCH higher... :Thumbs:
