Congratulation to the Tigers on a great season. Nothing to hang their heads about. They played hard and enjoyed a magical ride.

Now for my Panthers. What else can be said? 500 yards of offense, the D made adjustments and took Paintsvilles best shots on the first few drives, rolled up their sleeves, and did work. Paintsville barely had over 100 yards offense, even with a short field. Pikeville coaches called the plays perfect, going on clock eating drives that kept Phelps from getting too many touches, and the squib kicks showed their faith in the defense while again minimizing Phelps' touches. Just outstanding adjustments and execution all around. The turnover battle was even with Paintsville one fumble lost and one interception vs Pikeville losing two fumbles.

This is just for those posters who did not believe it when we said this was a different Pikeville team from the first game. Now you see what we meant when we said that.
