Who do you think wins and why?

Paintsville will take this one! Hazard Is playing very good right now but the Tigers Defense is playing at an EXTREMELY HIGH level!

Any word on Allen? Seen him go down late in the game. He'll be crucial down the stretch I would imagine.

They said Allens knee was bruised! No tear or sprain! So that's good news! Hard to take out the BEAST! Great game last Night #3. Also 22 was HUGE! had a Monster Block and great timed hit on the receiver to dislodge the ball! J. Allen had a big time defensive game with 2 pick's and Great Job to one of my Favorite defensive Tigers "NACHO"! D. Daniels one of the most disruptive LB's in the state!!

Paintsville is really good as they have been, but I think Hazard is playing as good as they are if not better now. I'll take Hazard at home after what they just did to Pikeville.

Running the ball against Pikeville D is far from the same thing as running against Paintsville D! It'll be a good game but don't expect the same success! Unfortunately for Hazard Paintsville ROLLS to BG!

Have some stats for 3 games for Hazard.

 

Hazard has rushed for 1,221 yard and 18 Touchdowns.

Cory Smith has 902 yards and 13 of those stats

 

Hazard has thrown for 364 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Hazard has only threw the ball 5 times the last two games.. But from 3 games they are 19/30.

I am picking Paintsville to get the Win and advance to the 1A title game. I don't see how dead even any two teams can be than Paintsville and Raceland.... So, to all of the Tiger fans (and players), you guys guys got us twice on the final play of the game, one in an o.t. and as a competitor (still ticked off and hurting , :banghead: ) Raceland fan I am rooting for the Tigers in this one as well as predicting your Tigers...... Go out and win it all . :thumb:

Thanks oldrambler, I still believe Paintsville and Raceland level of play is a step above in 1A at this point! Just like last year (up until the report) Paintsville and Pikeville were. We'll make our district proud this Friday night! The Tigers D is gonna bring the Bulldogs offense to a HAULT!

Running the ball that uncontested will end up being an issue for Hazard in this one and the Raceland game will be an advantage for Paintsville! Paintsville has been battle tested 3 times this year! Bourbon game and both Raceland games! All 3 have came down to one last drive or last stand! Hazard has cruised through the Playoffs all 3 games and that to me could be concerning! That's not Hazards fault you play who you play just believed it really helps Paintsville coming off that tough game with a team as good as Raceland! Corey Smith had his way last game, while KP had to earn every single yard he got Friday night! Think Hazard gets shell shocked by Hafetime!

Cory Smith earned every yard of that 279 he had against Pikeville. I agree this will be the toughest test yet. Somerset had a good defensive line as well as Letcher and Pikeville.

Corey Smith is just as good as the Phelps kid at running the ball.Both are very good.The 3 touchdowns that Pikeville scored all came on pass plays so Hazard may be a little weak there.But I still look for a great game.Good luck to both teams.

First was a blown coverage and was so wide open that my grandma could of caught it.. The next one was on 4th and 6 and the QB scrambled out and he was luckily to drag a foot otherwise it was a turnover on downs. 3rd was in well after the game was in control.. Hazards game has stepped these last few weeks. It also feels good to have the starting O-line healthy as well. I think only 1 lineman plays both ways some the rest are fresh. I think 4-5 kids go both ways for hazard and that's it.. I'm not sure how Paintsville is but being wore down can happen on cool nights in November.

Is it Friday yet!

I have some more stats..

 

Hazard @ home is averaging 49.8 points per game and allowing opponents 18.2

 

Paintsville on the road has averaged 31.6 points per game and giving up 13.6.
