I wouldn't be surprised if any of the current top five teams end up winning the Class A title. I am picking Beechwood to win it, but I think those other four can give them a run for their money.

Love to see a Pikeville/Beechwood classic. Been a long time, and it just might happen. The last time these two met up in a state title game was in 1991 when Brandon Burger ran wild on the Panthers.

Beechwood isn't near as dominant a front runner as Mayfield has been the past few years and I don't see anyone from the east side of the bracket as good as Williamsburg was last year. Beechwood had a much stronger team last year, imo. I think any of the 3, Raceland, Pikeville or Paintsville will be, at the very least, capable of hanging in their for 4 quarters with the Tigers. While Raceland has played a tough schedule, I still feel that Pikeville and Paintsville are a little stronger teams top to bottom.

Something else to consider is, if you compare schedules of the three from the East, I think we'll see where both Raceland and Pikeville have played a stronger schedule than Paintsville, which may come back to haunt them in the playoffs.

Paintsville tryed to beef there schedule up but they can't help it those normally great teams are having a bad year.

I applaud the effort. When judging the schedule and comparing it to other teams, you can only look at actual results - not would of, should of, could of been.

Look at this schedule before the season and what would you say?

No one is disputing what Paintsville attempted to schedule. On paper, looking at past history, led to lofty expectations for their schedule. It just hasnt panned out that way.
