MASSAY PREDICTION: Pikeville 36-24

[MiddlesboroAlumni]

I want to say Allen Central, but Pikeville has literally always had their number. Panthers will win.

I've heard from several people, and more from the Pikeville area than from outside Pikeville, that this Panther team is not your typical Pikeville team. Yes they have Branham and Robinson and some other key guys, but when you break it down, 2009 Pikeville Panthers are not your district champion Pikeville teams from years past. Playing at home will be key, but I'm really interested to see if the Panthers will be able to match the physical play of not only the Crowders, but the offensive and defensive lines of Allen Central. I'm not denying Pikeville is not, nor won't be, a physical team, but there is no team in this district more smashmouth, more physical than Allen Central. Just ask the Tigers. On paper, this game is Allen Central's to lose. But I think the biggest factor isn't one you can calculate or view from the stands...it's the fact that Allen Central has NEVER beaten Pikeville, but yet came so close last year. Jammin' Jamey made a good point on the radio after the Paintsville game last weekend...having lost a heartbreaker last season at home to the Panthers, can the Rebels overcome that "Pikeville-itis" and not let history affect them.
Allen Central is better than years past, and Pikeville quite frankly just isn't as good. I don't care about competition. I dont care about numbers, stats, records, etc. The tides in Class 1A District 8 are changing, and those outside of Eastern may want to take notice.

I know that we arent as good as years past and ac is better than years past but when paintsville and jenkins force fumbles on the crowders id say that pikeville can still force a lot of fumbles....

If you look at the stats, the brothers aren't the only ones making the tackles and great plays. Yes, they are the key players, but the Rebels have others who are ready to charge. Be ready Pikeville, Conn, Jackson, Stumbo, Hamilton, Parsons, Calloway and the others are ready to be District winners.
