To much being placed on this game.  Other than being a rivalry it does not mean much at this point.  Pikeville is good and will get better and be the team to beat in 1A, however, Paintsville must use this game to learn and start implementing new systems and see who can do what on both sides of the ball.  Paintsville's sole focus should be improvement with eye toward beating Raceland.

True statement that to much emphasis on this game but it does have some importance. 1 it gives that team a slight advantage in the RPI system we play in and I know that is in accordance to how the rest of the season goes for both teams. It is a rivalry game for both. Like you said this is the first game and hopefully both teams get better each game barring no injuries. Between these two there has been a few times who won the first didn’t win the second. Just hope there is no injuries to either team but this game don’t make a season. Well for the first time this season GO PANTHERS!!!
