[Humpty Dumpty]

Johnson Central is better than I thought.

Injuries have killed their backfield and did in this game.

Pikeville will cakewalk to 1A title. It will never be within doubt.

Johnson Central is gonna be a very tough out come playoff time. They were better than I anticipated as well, their backup RBs were pretty darn good and once they get everyone healthy they will have a very nice stable of RBs that will slice defenses up.

I would love to see the Panthers win title #8 this season and they are deservingly the favorite. Raceland played 4A Ashland tough at Putnam and through the first 2 weeks it seems the Tomcats are pretty good this season. I thought the Rams going to 4A Letcher County and winning convincingly was a pretty impressive win. Admittedly, I don't know much about the Cougars this season besides that they beat a decent Shelby Valley team in week 1. They have been getting better as a program though and almost went into Paintsville and beat Johnson Central late last season losing by 1 point. Maybe the Cougars lost a lot but going into Letcher County and leaving with a 20 point win says to me that Raceland is a legit contender

Anything can happen on any given night we all know that but realistically it's hard to find another Class A team besides Raceland that can matchup with the Panthers and have a shot to beat them. As far as these 2 teams go we will find out in 2 weeks. I think it's great they're playing in the regular season and hopefully they will continue to do so because both teams benefit from that game.

Pikeville will definitely have their hands full next weekend in Lexington, LCA is gonna be very tough to beat but I'm very excited about this season for my Panthers. The young guys are ahead of schedule for what I personally expected, they are only gonna get better each week.
