Raceland over Ashland

 

Frankfort over Paintsville, wouldn't pick this if the Tigers were at home.

Raceland it is

Minor upset: #7 Fairview has a chance to upset #6 Hazard.

Per calpreps.com ... Raceland 28 Ashland 27

 

That looks like a very possible upset.

 

Just for fun, calpreps also has these projections:

 

Beechwood 35 Ashland 24

 

Pikeville 35 Ashland 20

 

:wideyed:

 

It's early in the season. That matchup predictor is not going to be as accurate as it will be as the season moves on ... but .... food for thought.

Hard to believe it has been 7 years since Raceland defeated Ashland in 3 straight seasons (2006, 2007, 2008).

 

Seems like yesterday.

VOR, what do you think about he Holmes/Paris game? Who is the favorite?

I thought about that one. But after Holmes lost to Holy Cross, I don't see them beating Paris. Holmes has some talented players but they can't get it together. Probably a similar score as Frankfort last week with Paris winning.

Raceland has a good chance. Fairview has a shot. I know absolutely nothing about Letcher County. Any info on that?

Any chance Lloyd knocks off Beechwood?

Ashland is 0-3 and hasn't even played a game lol.

Any chance Lloyd knocks off Beechwood?

 

I thought about it briefly and think Lloyd will play them tough, but think Beechwood will be too much at the end.

Defense will win that game for Beechwood. If Lloyd can come up with some big plays on offense, then they could spring the upset.

Wouldnt be shocked if LCC knocked off Pikeville.

Ashland is 0-3 and hasn't even played a game lol.

Don't worry, it's a long season, they will get in the winning column.
