It wouldn't be to Paintsville's advantage to go from a natural surface to astro turf.

 

Same thought here. The advantage might be a good prep for the state finals on turf, but the negative is Pikeville always plays on turf and would seem to be better suited.

Just hope it doesn't rain much this week! Last Friday at Paris was pretty slippery field conditions! I heard Belfrys game was tough footing as well!

I think Pikeville is playing too well and is too strong for Paintsville, with or without Kash Daniel.

Hopefully we'll be able to find enough crow to feed everyone before they leave Paintsville Friday night!!

Neither is the same team that played earlier this year

 

Paintsville was without Phelps who has turned into a stellar RB

 

Pikeville made a change at QB that has really helped them and Pugh was maybe 70% that game.

 

I am just going to throw some love to the Panthers and hope both Pike County teams go to Bowling Green

 

Pikeville 22

Paintsville 21

 

Pikeville steals a 2 point conversion during regulation by making the Tigers jump offsides on an XP.

Pugh should of been 100% in this game but after is when he was not 100%.

Mark my words, this "bend not break" defensive performance by Paintsville will snap in half against Pikeville. Panthers hunt in the dark, and darkness will be cast over Paintsville Friday night. 42-35 Pikeville. The Dark Panther Rises.

That's correct. He had 35 carries for 170 TD's against Paintsville. It was the next game against Sheldon Clark they sat him out in an attempt to heal.

Paintsvilles D will break? Im pretty sure we saw this Pikeville team the first time we played but yet all you hear is Pikeville has been playing "lights out since the Belfry game"! "They're a different team" Really? Oh against South Floyd? Or Phelps? And Williamsburg and Lynn camp oh and Pike Central? They've faced 2 strong D lines this year! How'd those work out?

And hello to you too. Just saying what I think the outcome will be, both defenses are not the best, but IMO Paintstville's will be the one to give up one more score than the other, hence my predicted score of 42-35. although this will definitely be a much more quality team than those Pikeville has had to face in the playoffs so far (they've had the easiest path to the semifinals out of all 1A teams), it will be a test to see if they can continue what they are doing against others to the big dogs.

I keep hearing the same old song and dance from the boys down US 23. New and improved. Players are now 100% who were hurt in the first game. Strapem' up and let's get it on! Tigers still find a way to win against all opponents. Be it one point or thirty. Tigers will find a way to win Friday! By at least one point!

Thats a lot of TD's!

Thats a lot of TD's!

 

That's one heck of a typo lol. Obviously I meant yds. But to Pughs credit, he did have TDs.

this year i have been fortunate to watch 8 high school football games on Friday nights.6 out of the 8 games i saw hazard play 2 times,paintsville 2 times,and Pikeville 2 times.all 3 very fine football teams.all very entertaining to watch.i would of liked to seen a game between Paintsville and hazard.i always felt like the only difference in these 2 teams was kash daniels.now for the Pikeville and Paintsville game.jmo the team with the fewest turnovers and fewest penalties will win this game.but i will also say i think Paintsville will have to control the amount of time that pikevilles offense stays on the field.if they don't do this one thing i think Paintsville chance of winning is small.good luck to both teams and hopefully no injuries.

All arguments aside I want to wish everyone a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving! Hope to see you all at Memorial Field Friday at 7:30 pm for the clash of the mountains! Go Tigers!!!
