I was just waiting for the "Fairview is down this year" defense. This was a hard fought game on both sides. Our kids have bought into the idea that there isn't a team we play that we can't beat if we play to our potential. I said earlier that the Pikeville game may have still been a loss if we'd had everybody healthy, but I don't think it would've been anywhere near what it was. We had Lemaster and Howard both out when we played there. When you take those 2 off the line, Kash doesn't have time to get rid of the ball. The line makes all the difference. I'm anxious to get Belcher healthy and Hendricks will be eligible before we go to Raceland. I'm right there with how the boys think, I think we're capable of beating any team we play. And, I can tell you now, that attitude is something that the coach has instilled in every kid on the team.

Their own fans will tell you they are down. Hazard will definitely tell you they are down. Paintsville D gave up around 450 yards. Imagine if it was Raceland, Hazard or Pikeville on the other side of the ball. If you can make yourself believe a 54 point loss (could have been even worse, running clock and all) was a fluke, have at it.:biggrin: The good part is, 95% sure Paintsville will get another crack at Pikeville. And if your D plays like they did tonight, well...:flame:
