These two teams have 3 common opponents, Paintsville, South Floyd, and Lynn Camp. It's not a perfect way to compare, but something to look at:

Pikeville vs Paintsville (L) 23-22 in OT. Pikeville had 231 rushing yards and 27 passing yards, Paintsville had 167 rush yards and 49 pass yards.

Williamsburg vs Paintsville (L) 39-15. Paintsville had 304 rush yards and 208 pass and Williamsburg had 126 rush yards and 157 pass yards

Pikeville vs South Floyd (W) 68-14. Pikeville had 284 rush yards and 117 pass yards. South Floyd had -18 rush yards (yes, negative) and 151 passing

Williamsburg vs South Floyd (W) 41-12. Williamsburg had 127 rush and 103 passing. S Floyd did not post stats, so I don't know.

Pikeville vs Lynn Camp (W) 68-8. Pikeville had 406 rush yards and 74 pass and Lynn Camp had 37 rush and 67 pass

Williamsburg vs Lynn Camp (W) 53-8. Williamsburg with 189 rush yards and 159 pass. Lynn Camp had 145 rush and 24 pass.

That's about the most Apple to Apple comparison you can make. Both of these teams are different from last year, and have even transitioned this year in season.

Pikeville should win this one. I know they are focused on JUST this game. Looking at video,they absolutely dominated at the line of scrimmage vs Lynn Camp last week (even more so than I thought while watching it live, video showed just how big the holes were to run through) and I believe they are hungry as a unit. Should be a good game though, Williamsburg is not without talent. Their #4 has great hands and good field awareness. He jumped out at me the most when watching the video. Hard working bunch. Looking forward to this game!

good analysis. Williamsburg is well coached, and has some talent,but they lost a lot and it will take them a while to get back to the top.
