They might as well play a National Powerhouse.  They have beat about everyone else to death.  The panthers are legit.  I’d love to see them and Boyle play at the end of the year to see who the best team is 1-5A.  6A is private for all I’m concerned and publics shouldn’t even play in that class.

You mean Lex Cath? 

[DukeBoy]

Boyle is still the best.

[jetpilot]

Boyle is still the best.

I agree, but they will have to prove it.

Then why would they play boyle to see whose the best?

[barkgoesthecat]

Hazard is overrated and Pikeville isn't.

Pikeville 63
Hazard 7

I think we’ve already had games to show they aren’t the best in 4a or 5a

[2000PHS]

I have seen upsets in this matchup too many times to say Pikeville wins with a running clock, but that’s what’s going to happen hahaha

This would be a bigger upset than 2019 playoffs if Hazard wins, IMO. I still don’t understand how that happened, it boggles me to this day.

[Hoot Gibson]

Boyle is still the best.

Boyle has lost to another 4A team. Corbin, Lexington Catholic, and Johnson Central haven't.

I agree and we don’t know right now in any class who is going to come out on top I believe that is why they play the games but as always GO PANTHERS

[DukeBoy]

Pikeville would beat Corbin at a neutral site. Pikeville can win 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, and 5A this year. I think Boyles only team that could beat them.

That’s laughable. They are a solid team but you are getting a little carried away. Did you miss the games where they lost to Corbin & Cov Cath already? Just like Pikeville, Corbin has improved dramatically since game 1 as they have figured their offense out. Cov Cath already settled this but another 5A is Fredrick Douglas and they would smash Pikeville.

If you refine that to 1A, 2A and 3A I could agree that is a possibility and is super impressive.

I am not a Pikeville homer so you may have missed the satire in my post.

[Humpty Dumpty]

I thought this would be a very close game a month ago but after seeing how close Sayre played Hazard I have a hard time seeing the Dawgs keeping it close. They have to bring their A+ game and hope Pikeville brings their C game, which I don't see happening.

Pikeville 50
Hazard 14

I’m as a big a Pikeville fan as you will find that’s real.

We ain’t winning 4-6A.

3A is bad this year but Bardstown and Cal both seem to be legit and could beat us.

The same way you won in overtime with a fumble on the 3 yard line.

Is it possible that Pikeville can win this game but if they play again in playoffs game can be at Hazard with higher rpi? Hazard has Shelby Valley next week and a win there would possibly move Hazard back above Pikeville

[Panther Thunder]

It is certainly possible in theory. Not sure about the mathematics in this case.

I mentioned to a friend the other day that there will come a day with the RPI where a team intentionally loses a game to manipulate the RPI. It won't happen often, but I do believe it will happen. 

For instance, in the 3rd Round, the RPI shows after Week 10 that the East will have teams A, B, C, & D likely remaining. 

Team A would be 1st in the East based on RPI, but is clearly not as good as Team C, Team B would be 2nd if they win and likely 4th if they lose, Team C would be 3rd although clearly the best team in the East, but could move to 2nd if Team B loses, and Team D would be 4th unless Team B loses and they move to 3rd. 

Well, Team B knows if they lose, they give up a home game, but they have a winnable road game vs. Team A instead of a home loss to Team C in the 3rd Round. Lose the game. Win a Region Championship and lose in the semis instead of the 3rd Round.

I think the 4 teams to come out of the East for round 3 will be Pikeville, Raceland, Hazard, and Paintsville. If this happens Paintsville basically locked as the 4 seed. I just would hate for it to end up Paintsville at Hazard and Pikeville and Raceland having to play in round 3 cause I think those are the 2 best 1A teams

[BlackcatPride32]

Pikeville 49-7. The 7 from Hazard comes in the second half

[thebigfundamental]

Been a LONG time since Pikeville has lost to Hazard at home in the regular season!
I'd say the streak continues.

[MountainBaller]

Pikeville just has way too much firepower for Hazard.

Pikeville 50
Hazard. 14

This one has died off a little..

Well bac2369 it has so the question is what is your prediction since you love those bulldogs? You know I love the panthers so I think the panthers win but it isn’t going to be no cake walk I am taking the panthers by to scores now the ball is in you court

I’m a guy who goes off matchups.. But Hazard does not historically play well during the regular season at Pikeville. If Hazard comes and plays the game should be interesting. If they come out flat and with no energy it will be a short game for them. But if I was predicting how this one plays out I’m going with Pikeville 35-13. But I will say this if Hazard wins this game it’s going to be something like 20-15.
