Both teams are playing great, but I like Hazard at home.

 

34 to 32

Taken a closer look at this I want to mention this..The staff at hazard has the experience being there but the kids don't. Paintsville holds the edge on the kids being there last year... Hazard has been to the state semis in 2007,2008,2009,2010,2011,2012 and now 2016. Hazard has held 3 state semi games and this will be the 4th and they are 3-0 at home. But on the road they are 0-3 but if u count the forfeit from the ineligible kid in Fairview game then it's 1-2 on the road but I just say 0-3.

 

2008 Hazard 28 LCA 21

2010 Hazard 31 LCA 30 ( played terrible )

2011 Hazard 57 Pikeville 35 ( Pikeville came ready to play)

 

Away

2007 LCA 45 Hazard 21 ( beat them in the regular season by similar amount)

2009 LCA 35 Hazard 28 ( dropped tying pass in end zone)

2012 Fairview 40 Hazard 6 ( forfeited ) ( just flat out whipped and the injury to Austin Johnson showed defensively)

 

Paintsville was here last year and just fell short at home to the state champions from last year losing to Pikeville 42-23.

Paintsville is definantly looking for some redemption! Gonna be a great State Semi! Hazard used to the turf but I've always felt we play better in games on Turf. Courious to see how many times KP and Smith swap TD's! I know Smith is a Very tough RB to bring down but not seeing him in person how is his Break away speed?

He is faster than he looks... He isn't as fast as KP but he runs away from defenders.. Smith is low to the ground and that's what makes him good.

Smith has really good feet and balance. Tough to tackle. Enough speed to burn most if he gets an opening.

Heard some pretty good news for hazard late last night.

May be getting a starter back for this game..

This should be a very good game, as I said Paintsville by 2 td's meaning the Tigers may tack on a big play for one if not both tds. Actually, the Tigers big play ability is what Raceland lost to in both games between the two..

Bottom line is that all the stats, numbers people can look up / quote and all predictions (including mine) are thrown out at the opening kick off. "O" and "D" line play and / or turnovers will win this.

Good luck to both teams.

May be getting a starter back for this game..

 

That's always good news for a team!

GAME DAY!!!!
