Should be a very good game! Looking forward to playing a different team at this stage of the season than Wburg, Raceland, etc. Not gonna lie, like the potential for an all EKy final too.

Since losing to Point Pleasant early last year Pikeville is 20-1 with the only loss being the 1 point heartbreaker to Beechwood in the state championship last year. The Panthers are on a mission and they roll on to Kroger Field.

Great season for Holy Cross...in a way it would've been fun to see Pikeville put a beating on NewCath in the state finals had they played but was happy to see Holy Cross beat the Breds and keep the possibility of an all Pville finals still alive.

Pikeville wins

I agree with jetpilot. These young men are on a mission, and really don't think they care who lines up across from them. They just want to play the game and win. HAIL PIKEVILLE !!!

Man. Wish it was Friday already! This is gonna be a good game to watch. Got a feeling everyone will get their money's worth in this one.

I'm going to say the same thing I said about Boyle County in 4A, nobody is beating Pikeville this year. Good luck to both teams and my buddy Patriot1.

So did everyone else. Holy Cross hasn't faced anyone resembling Pikeville on either side of the ball. Plus they have to come to a place where they would rather be anywhere else other than the gym. IMO Panthers are too much from the opening kick.

I see this game going similar to the Ridgeview game. Close for a half and HC might even lead early then Pikeville pulls away 2nd half to win big.

Confidence is high and it should be. I just see Pikeville being a tick off for a half because they are playing a team that has actually beaten a decent team.

Well I guess this will be a first, Pikeville playing a team thatâs actually beat a decent team. Well at least it not a cupcake and if the other game in 1A isnât a running clock in the first quarter then that team is in trouble. Sound familiar to anyone. Jet have you read anything like that on here last week, but as always GO PANTHERS!!!

I get the feeling I rub you the wrong way lol
I know Iâm an acquired taste but donât give up on me.
Hereâs the facts, Pikeville hasnt played a meaningful snap in the 4th quarter since 9-20-19. I think Holy Cross gives them a game. But Pikeville wins by 2 scores.

Haha Pikeville has played many teams who have beaten decent teams and is 12-0. You seem to think it is better to play mediocre teams to the wire and get thrashed by a good team like Paintsville has done lately than to beat Belfry and demolish everyone else like Pikeville is doing. Good luck with that. Pikeville will be super focused Friday and we will just have to see if Holy Cross can give them a game or not.

Touchy tonight! I love it! You havenât played snap in the 4th quarter that has meant anything since 9-20-19. That is a fact and you canât dispute that. Now, on the other hand, it might not matter. Pikeville is the favorite and they should be.

I'm not disputing it. It's just faulty logic. You're trying to turn it into a negative that they have been playing lights out and obliterating people.

Simply an observation that if there is a weakness, it would be the lack of competition the past 2 months.

You have and I know you're not downing them but again it's just faulty logic. Boyle County and Johnson Central haven't had any serious snaps lately, do you see that as a disadvantage for them this week?

I guess I just give NCC more credit than you do. I fully expect Pikeville to win but just think this will be a good warm up for the finals.

Personally you donât rub me anyway I donât know you but some of the statements you make are derogatory digs at other teams (but you say you didnât mean it that way) to me or thatâs how I see them. I have opinion just like you and thatâs fine but what I stated was your comments in another thread and that is fact not opinion, but as always GO PANTHERS!!!

True, but donât sleep on the guys replacing them. They have skills and have practiced everyday against the BEST in 1A for two years now. Panthers return a QB, WR, RB, and several young lineman. Panthers might take a few licks but will be fine for the foreseeable future.
