I agree with most of your post but don't think anyone's being petty. Pikeville is a different team from the first game. Defense really came along, a great QB who Paintsville hadn't seen, etc. Nobody's saying it wouldn't have made a difference if Kash played. Only saying that the way Pikeville totally dominated the game on both sides of the ball that they still would have won. Nothing petty about it. And not only some Pikeville people saying it but plenty of Paintsville people saying it as well. I hope Kash heals quickly and I think he can help UK's defense as a freshman.:Thumbs:

The thing is Pikeville won and advances to the state championship. It really should be left at that and congratulate the Panthers for winning against A Paintsville team that played with 100% heart and just came up short! That shoulda been the end of it. Unfortunately as you read these comments quite a few Fans are just trying to head off that "what if" by saying Kash wouldn't have made "that much of a difference" or "enough of a difference that Pikeville still woulda won" to be real you know better! Actually yea! It's a tad petty! Take a 100% healthy Paintsville team and an hour before the game Pikeville finds out Pugh isn't playing! Believe what you want I know that outcome and you do too! Fact is the "what woulda truly been the outcome had Paintsville had all their troops" will always be wondered! However, to me it doesn't matter! They didn't! Pikeville won! Just don't down play the dominant presence he has on the game! Now go get em Panthers! Your representing all of us in the eastern part of the state now!!
