I wont be they let me down. I would have bet the farm that I could tell you who would be the 4 semifinalist. The other 3 did there part, but Pikeville wasn't who I thought they was.

Pikeville suprised me as well. I know they had two big play makers banged up in Estep and if im not mistaken Pugh wasnt at 100%. But, they also ran into a Paintsville team tha DRASTICALLY improved. Dont forget they managed a 54 point turnaround from the regular season matchup to the playoffs. Then the tigers went from a 40 point loss to Raceland in the regular season, then only fell short by 2 tds in the Regional Finals. Pikeville was a bit over hyped though, which could have also led to their let down in the playoffs. Either way, Coach Mac will have the Panthers playing hardnosed football with each kid buying into "the name on the front of the jersey and not the back". Going to be interestig to watch who from the new Region 4, rebounds from losing last years senior classes.
