You keep using the bad competition thing and it doesn't fly. Hazard beat Paintsville and played Somerset close throughout. HC beat NCC and won 11 games. So spare me the easier road. Pikeville is simply steamrolling teams.

And every good team Williamsburg faces gashes their defense. Paintsville went to the wire vs Wburg and Pikeville had a running clock on the same players a minute into the second quarter. Really that simple.

I'm done. I think Pikeville makes a believer out of you Friday.

You don’t believe HC and Hazard are good teams. Paintsville was a MASH unit going into Hazard and still had a chance to win.

I think since August I have said that Pikeville is the favorite. That has been consistent throughout the year. I just think that their schedule (since Belfry) may have some a little over hyped about their true identity. Which right now is better than 2015,2018 in some people’s eyes. That’s a lot of confidence. I went back and watched the 1st game. Paintsville is a completely different team. Offense is totally different. Pikeville may have and probably did hold some new stuff because they haven’t needed to show it but for the most part they haven’t changed, just gotten much smoother at execution.

You can talk about 2018 Williamsburg all you want. I’ll just reference 2019 Pikeville/Paintsville game that was decided by 1 point and a missed 23 yard FG. We CAN match up with Pikeville, not saying we will on Friday, but we CAN. I’m sorry if that tarnishes or offends the Mighty Panthers.
