[Panther1]

Many don't think it can happen...

BUT, I got word from a pretty good source that a couple of PHS's most counted-on players "took a day off" from practice -- oh, they were AT practice and they were "practicing," but as far as how hard they were working .

Heard one of the coaches comment to another that those two guys just didn't seem to have the "same fire" as they seemed to have the week of the FIRST Hazard game!

I'm telling you, this game CAN get ugly -- IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AS THE FIRST TIME -- if my Panthers think Hazard will play as bad as the first time! My sources from down Hwy 80 tell me they have had a GREAT week of practice and are looking at this game as their SUPER BOWL (unlike Pikeville, who has the temptation of looking ahead to the third round!! Advantage: Hazard!).
