A few comments on some of the posts about this game:
1. This no where near the weakest Paintsville team ever, P-burg has 16 seniors on this year's team and they have all been running the same system for 4 years now. Paintsville simply played a top 5 2A team.
2. Nehemiah Doderer ran for over 170 yards in this game and will have a great year for the Tigers.
3. The score was 6-0 at the end of the first and I thought we had a game on our hands. However, P-burg turned it up in the second quater and was up 32 at the half.
4. Paintsville didn't quit and played with P-burg's first team in the seconf half. This is important because it showed that Coach Kinner has them going in the right direction. If the effort is there, good things will happen.
5. Paintsville's defense needs a lot of work, Gearheart is a good receiver but when nobody is defending him, how good does a kid have to be to catch a ball and run to the endzone?
6. In some other threads, some are saying Paintsville will not win the #2 seed in the district, that is laughable. With Hazard being out of our district, the winner of the Pikeville-Paintsville game will be the champion and the loser will be the #2 seed. Paintsville has the weapons to be dangerous this year and should be ready for the late season showdown with Pikeville for the district championship. Paintsville's next 3 games are Phelps, Allen Central, and Betsy Layne so Paintsville should have enough time to make some adjustments before taking on more solid competition.

Good post, I believe that once everyone on that team is on the same page then Paintsville will become a very dangerous team.

Best of luck to the Tigers on the rest of the season!
