[Orange Blaze]

Idk Blaze. Looking at the schedules, Paris' best win is against either 4-3 4A Holmes and 1A 4-2 Pineville. Paintsville holds wins against 1A 5-2 Pikeville and 4A 3-4 Bourbon County. Pikeville just thumped 1A 5-2 Hazard and holds a 49-12 win over 5A 4-3 Letcher County Central they also took Paintsville into over time. Raceland's best win is over 3A 4-2 Lawrence County and 4A 4-3 Greenup County they also took Ohio Division 5 power Lucaville Valley down to the wire. Imo, Paintsville, Raceland, Pikeville, and even possibly Hazard and Fairview, are all stronger than Paris. They just havent played the schedule the teams in the East have.

Last year everyone had the same criticisms about Williamsburg's strength of schedule and they were one point away from winning a state title. I'm not saying that Paris will have the type of season that Williamsburg had but when a team is playing hot and they believe they can win then they are capable of beating anyone on any given night.
