Actually, it was Craynon that did the lion's share of the damage against the Panthers. From what I saw Friday, Pikeville looked better defensively between the tackles than on the corners. The Panthers were slow to react to runs bounced outside.

Paintsville has one weapon (which P-burg doesn't) that could be very effective vs. Pikeville. Deaton is a better running (than passing) QB. If he'll pull up stakes quicker in the pocket and head downfield, he could get a lot of yards Friday.

Pikeville needs to find someone in addition to Harmon offensively. Teams are keying on him and Pikeville has not gone to anyone else.

Is Deaton or is the Brown kid the QB? I thought Brown started at Raceland last week but had to be taken out because of how he was playing, but on the other hand Deaton didn't get the offense going either. It will be interesting to see who Kinner decides to play at QB. My guess is Deaton.

I think this is a very interesting matchup this week. In the end I think Pikeville will win this one with ball control.

Pikeville-27
Paintsville-13
