I haven't been reading much of this thread. I do have an interesting question for those who truly follow the Panthers. I do not want this to sound negative though. My question is, what do you all attribute to the reason that the Panthers show such great signs of becoming a power until playoff time? From the outside it would appear to be a mental thing. I mean last year they were thought by many to be the beast of the east after beating Hazard and Belfry. Then all of a sudden they splash in the playoffs. I noticed the year before they put in a great game to repay Raceland and the turn around and flop again. I think if they could be consistent they could be a handful.

Pikeville has some great teams that have lost in the playoffs early. In 2006 if you would of told me Hazard would get killed by Pikeville in the regular season and then lose on a last second field goal I wouldn't of believed you. I was at that game but my cousin was carted off and put in an ambulance so I missed it. I didn't believe it when the team came and said they won. I had to watch it on Sports OT. 2013 and 2014 was good years for Pikeville but fell short. I am still in shock that Paintsville won that game.
