Bigger, faster, stronger doesn’t replace experience. That’s what I have said multiple times. We are have more speed on this years team. We have a bigger line and the kids look healthier tbh. But if that speed and size doesn’t know where to go, it don’t mean squat. 2023 was a very good team and arguably the team with the best shot to win a title, but we saw how that went. We have some significant challenges on the front end of the schedule and on the last week of the regular season. But the outcome of those games won’t be much different than it was a year ago, minus the Pikeville regular season match up. Pikeville is at-least 2 scores better at that point in the season, imo. Ashland…probably 10 point favorite. Highlands…probably atleast 3 score favorite. LCA…3 scores. So yes…the schedule is tough…but it was last year as well.
