1. LCC is good and Martin Co isn't terrible.

2. Pikeville opens at CAL, Cabell Midland, Raceland, at Johnson Central, at Belfry. Wouldn't be smart to line up against Trinity and St. X heading into that.

3. What Belichick said.

Cal scrimmaging Franklin Co this week.

So?

The point is that Iron sharpens Iron and you can't shy away from good competition in the Pre Season and then expect to be ready for one of the Hardest Schedules in the State. It will lead to injuries and in the end the Coach is suppose to have them prepared for the Schedule that he put together. Betsy Layne, Martin Co, LCC and East Ridge won't even prepare you for Belfry moreless CAL and the rest of the Gauntlet.

Preaching iron sharpens iron to Pikeville fans is a freaking hoot. Looking forward to your next lecture...but maybe you should run out and win a bunch of championships first lol

Looks like you root for Pikeville...
Schedule is more than brutal enough and the goal is a championship in Nov/Dec...beating CAL in August would be cool but it's not in the big picture and you mention injuries so imagine having 7 tough games in a row instead of 5...
