Pikeville, as we know starts the season off with a bang going up against a strong 3-a state champion Cal team. This game looks to be a typical "David against Goliath "and of course it will be at Cal. As opposing as Cal will be, we also know that the Panthers wont just lay down to any football team. Just hope there's no injuries after that game or to any team this early in the season. Cal lost some good players, from graduation, but will still be strong at almost every position. 
Qb1 will narrow down to two different prospects in the Burke kid and the Phieipher ? kid. They've got a good staple of running backs and a strong line once again. On        D, linebackers look strong as well as the secondary. Imo, even if they had heavier losses to graduation it would still be a huge challenge to Pikeville  due to the long travel time and going up against a traditional  3-A power at their place. Just hope the Panthers play like its a championship game, and NO injuries.

Very tough opening game and CAL has several kids with D-1 offers. The 3rd kid in that quarterback battle is the kid who supposedly transferred to Paris.
