[Matney's Prodigey]

I feel that if you make a pre-season poll and have anyone else as the top team in the region then you should not be allowed to make a poll. On paper this Paintsville team is better than anyone in the region, but games are not won on paper. BMR is going to do his part in keeping this team's heads on straight, but the players are going to have to be the ones who stay focused. They are extremley young and I'm not sure how they will handle this big target on their back, and with Pugh coming out of retierment minutes are going to be scarce. With that said, I feel that if this team comes ready to play and plays well nobody in the region can beat them. They will not play well every night and may slip up to some teams in the region through out the year, but they are going to be tough come post season as long as they steer clear of injuries and egos do not get in the way. I expect them to make a run at region, but am hoping to see the Cardinals of Sheldon Clark cut down the nets.
