Rematch game. Raceland plays first half lights out but faulters in second half. Pikeville by 13.

[FBALL]

I'll take the Ams in the rematch.

[jetpilot]

Pikeville is much better on both sides of the ball since the first time these two played. Raceland better be much better as well.

I'll take Pikeville 38-21.

[FBALL]

The Ams have improved dramatically since the beginning of the season. Ought to be a heck of a game.

[OffTheHook]

Should be one of the better games of the week. Panthers by a touchdown this time.

[Ram-Fan]

REMATCH!!! Could very well be the best game of the week in the area. RAMS are not only improved but will be at full strength again. Everyone should be back. strengths have changed and kids have grown. This is going to be a great game no matter the outcome. I have a feeling that the RAMS pull this one off by 14. Just a hunch.

[PaintsvilleTigerfan]

I might just have to make the trip down 23 to watch this one.

[bac2369]

Hard to beat a team twice and these teams were neck and neck in the first one. Pikeville is at home so its hard not to pick them but raceland beating russell this year give those kids a big boost and look for them to bring there a game in there and maybe sqeak out a win but ive not decided who i will pick to win yet.

[Jarons]

I wished I lived closer so I could see the game. This is probably the best matchup in the state. I expect this to be a really good game. Would love to see the Rams pull it off. If not, I will be rooting for Pikeville in the Regional finals against Fairview.

[Big Five-0-]

Panthers by 13.

[theoldballcoach]

Should be a good re-match but I'm going with Pikeville

PHS-28
Race-14

[Statmaster]

hopefully the 15th region officials dont get to call the game.

[that's right]

think I am crazy but heres goes! Raceland by 20+. The new look O and everybody back on the D will blow the up!

[bac2369]

I would say that the 14th region refs will call this game.

[4real]

The Rams will give all. Raceland by 2 TD's

[Ram-Fan]

Raceland 32
Pikeville 21

[TurboPanther]

Pikeville - 38
Raceland - 21

[PaintsvilleTigerfan]

There is no 14th or 15th region in football?

[Stardust]

Pikeville repeats their 21-20 victory from earlier in the season

[Spud6]

Panthers by 5

[Hawksrule2011]

Have to go with the Panthers in this one at home, both teams have come on strong in the second half of the season, but I will give Pikeville the edge in the rematch 20-17!

[Blitz]

Raceland

[bac2369]

There is no 14th or 15th region in football?

I know that but the refs will be from the area of the 14th region to call the game,

[theoldballcoach]

Pikeville-28
Raceland-20

[ontopofthewest]

pike by 3 ...... home field will be to much for the rams, but rams might be able to squeek by if everything falls their way..

[In the pound]

Raceland 28 pikeville 21

We lost the last game in the last few seconds of the game without our best runningback/D-back (Marcus Reed) He went down with heat problems at the beginning of the second qtr. And never returned. He was beginning to rack up yardage. Then we lost our maybe best receiver/D-back. in the first half and never returned. So I really like our chances. Our team has kids playing in different positions now. And it has our offense exploding. If Pikeville wins this one. They will have to score 40. We have scored I believe about 170 points the last three games. Thats about 57 ppg. Should be a great game. Love the fans at Pikeville. Great host and love football. Love the Stadium and atmosphere. And the tigers leave it all on the field. The RAMS will have to play a great game. I believe they will. RAMS 38--PIKEVILLE 28.

[FBALL]

The Panthers leave it all on the field too.

If you're just factoring in last 3 games, yes, nice ppg average that is greatly inflated by the 77 points put up in one game. Raceland has a good team, fans were great, loved the atmosphere of the first game with Pikeville. BUT, looking over the last 5 games of the season (typically when teams really start to gel offensively) give a better look at consistency. Pikeville is averaging 54 ppg over that stretch versus Raceland's 42 ppg.

As I understand it from a friend who went to the Raceland game Friday, they've tweaked their offense a little bit to be a little more run-first than it was earlier in the season. Since Raceland and PHS played, PHS has really developed their offensive depth, now having at least 4 players who can take over a game on their own, along with 2-3 who are capable of breaking out in situational packages.

Having said all of that, I'm looking forward to a really exciting game this Friday between two very evenly matched teams who are similar in personnel. But I think in the end, Pikeville's experience and leadership, along with a defense that is improving weekly, will be the decisive factor. PHS rolls on with a 45-32 win, IMO.
