stick1 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Lawrence Co will meet up with Belfry undefeated with a legit shot at finally knocking off the giant. Belfry's king of the region until somebody does it but I think this is LC's best shot at the carpet since 1997 (2010 loaded but Bell was different level than road this year). Major athletic depth+good size up front. Soph Timmy Dalton might end up going the Gerad Parker route. 1 of the top basketball players in school history that ends up being a D1 WR. Paintsville will be the best story in KY. The program finished the season 2 years ago with about 15 players dressed. In shambles. They now have a tremendous amount of size/speed combo in skill spots. Jr QB Kash Daniels might be the best secret in KY. 6'3-6'4 300+ bencher can run+big arm. TB Belcher 300+ bencher, slot Cody Charles 300+ bencher, slot Luke Trimble 150yds Recirving+80 yd kick return vs Fairview as a Frosh 3 yr starter, WR Peyton smith 3-4 yr starter plus good skill depth. Pikeville/hazard/wburg all tough but I expect the district championship to come down to battle w Raceland. Sleeper Star Johnson Central TE Truman Salyers. 6'5 240ish. Nice basketball player so can move. With work I think he's got nice D1 potential. Anxious to watch Baker/Long duo at Ashland both around 4.4 speed. Pikeville/Pburg game of the night in the mountains. Both with a ton of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stick1 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Awesome! Thanks for the heads up! That should be an outstanding game. Any other sleeper predictions. Teams/players to watch. I'm not affiliated w the teams I mentioned. I know they'll focus 1 game at a time. Speaking as a fan on teams/kids to watch. Messer at Raceland is another!

stick1 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 How's that for a preseason prediction. LC was undefeated and battled into 4th quarter w Belfry for District now Regional Championship. Paintsville played Raceland for the District championship. Paintsville went from a program with 15 kids to the biggest turnaround in state history tonight! Unfortunately Salyers tore his knee but at 6'5 240lb TE willing to beef up he's going to make a nice college prospect if anybody has college connections.

Did Paintsville really have only 15 players at the beginning of the season? If so, what happened? Not trying to say that I don't believe this, but if really true is an incredible story and maybe one that plenty of other teams could become motivated by.

stick1 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 2 years ago that's what they finished the season with. The sky was falling, there were talks of could they keep a football program with such a small enrollment. They had to play a bunch of Freshman that got the hell beat out of them physically and mentally. I remember after Fairview drilled them talking to my nephew who was a Freshman starting both ways. I told him to lock those memories away because in 2 years they won't play anybody with more varsity experience than those young kids that got beat to death. Tonight he ran back an 80+yd TD on def. Coach Cherrico took the job and they haven't looked back. He is one of the very best men I've met in coaching. Stud safety for Marshall he has a group of young men that have bought into his "we not me" philosophy! Can't say enough good things about him or the group of kids he has!
