Well I was going to watch UK and Miss. In Commonwealth but I will not miss this cross county rivalry game and huge district tilt.

Well I just heard this game is being moved to Saturday night. Is it going to be played at SV? Or will it be there second home game be played at Hillard Howard Field. Will see!

Why is the game being delayed to Sat. Night? What is the hold up this time? Is it that hard to lay down fake grass? Can’t the SV administration find any good carpet layers up there in the Caney area? Is it the rain or the carpet layers that is causing the hold up?

This is a real coming out party for SV even New Uniforms?

Okay let’s get down to the real facts of this game.

1. Passing Game: SV does pass the ball pretty well and I give them credit there. PC has some weapons to, Merchant to Nichols, Ratliff, and Hampton. Take for instance the last drive of the Pike County Bowl and the two huge pass plays to Nichols to seal the win for PC.
2. Running Game: PC all the way in this one Merchant, Varney, Buckley and they have two big fullbacks in the Carter and Meade kid that can get a few yards. Carter made a couple big runs against ER.
3. Defense: SV has the big Johnson kid up front and he is a load. SV could not stop the McCoy kid from Matewan he went thru them like a dose of caster oil and he is a pretty darn good running back. PC is big up front and they have some pretty good line backers in Carter, Meade, and Merchant. The defensive end is the Hampton kid and he is going to be a dandy and he has a nose for the ball. Corners for PC are going to have to play big in this one. PC Here.
4. Special Teams: PC in this one. Merchant had a huge kick off return to start the second half against Boyd County. Kicking Game to PC and also the Punting game. PC needs to watch for the trickery of the point after, they tried it against Matewan.
5. Depth and Condition: Is SV in Condition? I thought SV got tired against Matewan in the forth quarter and they looked wore out. They could not substitute any kids to give there kids a blow. Midland Trail made a run on them to. PC looks to be in condition, and they a good number of kids out to where they can rest some kids both ways. I heard they had a real good summer in there conditioning program. PC here.
6. Who can stay away from the turn over bug? This could be a huge factor!

I pick PC in this one.

1.The rain is the hold up on the new truf
2.you sayed Valley wasn't in good condition againts Midland Trail in the 4th quarter..well they had there freshman in, in the 4th quarter so dont say Valley isn't in good condition!!Valley has better Defense the PC to, PC couldn't stop LC last week and all Pike Central has is a Running Game!!

great post there Grand Am...yeah i heard about the switch to sat as well whats up with this i thought this turf was suppost to be down two weeks ago it cant be that hard i promise...maybe they need to get ahold of pikeville and find someone to do it for them...playing it at Pikeville would be so funny all the talk and hype about the turf and now this hmmm what to think...

but im going to pick the feathers over the fur in this one...no home field advantage how about that one could have been key...

We dont need home field advantage to beat you all

[NYY10]

Shelby Valley will win 30-14

[NYY10]

Since you pretty much went over the whole PC greats in your run down Ill go with the Valley Side.

1. Passing game-Advantage Shelby Valley. Johnson is a better passer than Merchant. Merchant is a runnign qb. A speedster more like along the lines of how Timmy Griffith was a few years ago for Valley. Valley also has my advantage in recievers. Lucas Simpkins could possibly be the best reciver in the Mts. He is definatly the best in Pike and Floyd Countys. Take for instance the 5tds he alreayd has this year or the two catches he made at Pville. And also Colby Newsome who if you all forgot got a little seasoning this summer in the down under bowl(which his team won) Plus MT had a D1 caliber corner, ER not so much.
2.Running game-Toss up in my book. PC has Varney and Merchant. Valley has Yates, Kinney, Mitchell, and Justice. Valley goin with the running back by comitee should help them in this game not letting one back get to tired. a slight edge could be given to PC with all the hype for Varney.
3.Defense-advantage Valley. With Cable leading the d-line along with Johnson and Gillispie(sp?) Valley should be able to handle Varney they had some problems with the back from matewan but they shut MT down.
4. Special teams-PC I guess because Valley has no kicking game. Returns Im gonna say are even with Simpkins and Merchant.
5.Depth and conditining-PC may have the depth but I am gonna say Valley is better conditioned the kids from Valley are getting used to goin both ways and it could be a little cooler friday night than it was at South Floyd. And the comeback MT made aginst Valley was froma blocked punt and interceptions with the a few back ups in.

Valley big in this one. And if it rains Friday so what were on the turf whether we play at Valley or at Pikeville so let it rain let it rain let it rain touchdowns from tyler johnson to Lucas and Colby!!!!!!!!!!! Valley Big 42-14!!!!

Agree, Great Post Man

well lets see pils they supposivly was to have the turf 3 weeks ago the weather hasnt been that bad for three straight weeks...Do i wish Central would get the turf you darn sure i do...would i rather Central have it rather than Valley yup i do but hey thats how it is...my point is it DOES NOT TAKE A MONTH to lay the turf down for Pikeville it took one week tops and that was baseball and a football field...as for the game Valley and Pike Central both have a decent passing game BUT Valley hasnt met tough corners like the kids from PC they did a nice job against LC and Boyd Valley doesnt even compare to EITHER one of those passing games...

And Pike Central does,we can beat you all on turf or off!!

hows many times did PC stop LC in the red zone last week there NYY...aparently you have no idea what you are talking about lol...and ur saying no passing game if im not mistaking we beat Valley in the passing camps...just going to b up front ur an idiot

[TRAIN85]

Sv- 32-20

ok well seeing that LC won against PC and thier record is 1-3 and PC beat ER by only 1TD(which wouldnt have happened if Quirvon Merchant didnt complete the pass with like 30 seconds to go in the 4th quarter)and that was thier only win i dont see how they have a chance against Valley....besides passing camps and the real game is totally different so to tell you the truth i dont think you know what your talking about

[JWBN4EA]

Go Cats

[crazytaxidriver]

pike central has lost to boyd county and Lawerence county. Now most of the itme those are actually pretty good teams..

Valley has beat Midland trail.. and i'll admit i have no clue who these guys are.. and they beat matewan, and Phelps..

now phelps was a given, and matewan was a pretty good game..

so it looks like this will be a pretty good game.. no one is goin to get blown out

[Boomer86]

I gotta go with Valley in this one. They look too good with the leadership of their new coach, they look like a whole different team. I dont believe that any team in their district should overlook them in any way.

Anyone who has seen Midland Trail regardless of their Rankings in WV knows they're not a very good football team. East Ridge is much improved team and a win in a close game against a district opponent in the Pike Co. Bowl counts as a big game. Biased, yes very. GO PC

1-3 doesnt mean anything in district they are 1-0 in district which means alot we all know playing a distirct game first game of the season is one of the toughest things that you can do...Pike Central will come out victorious and if not then you can say you told me so but until then you will not change my mind...and i love how your taking away a great 2 min drill drive my Merchant and his hawks to beat East Ridge...

[BelfryPride]

This game will be over before halftime.

SV -35
PCC -12

I beleive that ER gave PC a run for their money in the county bowl. I was right up there in the stands watching the whole game.
