Since you pretty much went over the whole PC greats in your run down Ill go with the Valley Side.

1. Passing game-Advantage Shelby Valley. Johnson is a better passer than Merchant. Merchant is a runnign qb. A speedster more like along the lines of how Timmy Griffith was a few years ago for Valley. Valley also has my advantage in recievers. Lucas Simpkins could possibly be the best reciver in the Mts. He is definatly the best in Pike and Floyd Countys. Take for instance the 5tds he alreayd has this year or the two catches he made at Pville. And also Colby Newsome who if you all forgot got a little seasoning this summer in the down under bowl(which his team won) Plus MT had a D1 caliber corner, ER not so much.
2.Running game-Toss up in my book. PC has Varney and Merchant. Valley has Yates, Kinney, Mitchell, and Justice. Valley goin with the running back by comitee should help them in this game not letting one back get to tired. a slight edge could be given to PC with all the hype for Varney.
3.Defense-advantage Valley. With Cable leading the d-line along with Johnson and Gillispie(sp?) Valley should be able to handle Varney they had some problems with the back from matewan but they shut MT down.
4. Special teams-PC I guess because Valley has no kicking game. Returns Im gonna say are even with Simpkins and Merchant.
5.Depth and conditining-PC may have the depth but I am gonna say Valley is better conditioned the kids from Valley are getting used to goin both ways and it could be a little cooler friday night than it was at South Floyd. And the comeback MT made aginst Valley was froma blocked punt and interceptions with the a few back ups in.

Valley big in this one. And if it rains Friday so what were on the turf whether we play at Valley or at Pikeville so let it rain let it rain let it rain touchdowns from tyler johnson to Lucas and Colby!!!!!!!!!!! Valley Big 42-14!!!!

Agree, Great Post Man
