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.

What I can’t figure out about you guys it could have been more than 1 if 28 would have went on to the end zone but he did the smart thing and went down. But Paintsville did not score in the 2nd half and really only had the long run by the quarterback in the whole half. Now go back and watch the film and tell me I am lying. Like I said before and I will say again this is going to be a good game and have never said it wouldn’t be and yes Pikeville has got better and yes Paintsville has,too. But some of you guys like they are more improved than anybody else and I have heard that about the best player on the field (and he is a very good player) but one player don’t make a team. So Pikeville will come with their team and you guys come with the best player and we will let them settle on the field. As always GO PANTHERS!!!
