Any thoughts?

One, possibly 2 rounds if they are lucky.

It depends, what round will they play Pikeville in. That will be it.

Hazard hasn't even clinched a playoff spot yet.

Who says Hazard will make the playoffs???

I'm going with MTNFAN on this one. I see them as a 3 or 4 seed and a one-rounder.

Hazard gets Paintsville at home and Paintsville is down. Hazard will be a 2 or 3 seed and will lose as soon as they face a decent team.

If Hazard beats Paintsville in their regular season match-up, the Bulldogs will play two games. If the Tigers manage to beat Hazard at Hazard, the Bulldogs will play one game. Nobody in the district is going to knock off Pikeville this season, and I think that the Panthersdefense will power them to the regional ttle.

Hazard and Paintsville will play for the #2 seed next week. Winner has home field in playoffs, if I understand playoff format correctly. Pikeville is solid pick for #1 seed in District playoffs. District 7 will have a lot to say about who wins region imo.

I see a early 2nd round exit. Who knows though anything can happen.

Hazard is always dangerous at home. Therefore, I feel that they can beat Paintsville at home, then lose to Pikeville on the road. That will put them at a solid #2 seed. :eek:

How does Paintsville compare to Harlan? Hazard took a real beating from the Dragons, who have to be a favorite for #2 in District 7, or a darkhorse to win it over Somerset. If Paintsville is anything near to what they had last year, they are in the driver's seat in dist. 8. Somerset could be the stumbling block for Pikeville again in the region. Pikeville's D and Somerset's offense could make for another good game. Hazard really is not in the mix this year.

:thumb: That is true.

Pikeville has beaten Somerset 2 out of last 3 years. I look for a Somerset/Pikeville regional championship game at Pikeville. Lot of football left to be played though. Paintsville lost to Pikeville last year, so they aren't in the driver's seat this year. In fact, I don't think Paintsville can play with Pikeville, Somerset, Harlan, and probably Lynn Camp...maybe even Cumberland and Evarts.

Paintsville could probably play with most of our district this year.

Hazard is very quick but also very young they got their head down against a much improved Harlan squad for a poor showing at home. The once proud Hazard fans do not come out and support their team like one would expect from a school that has as much tradition as they have. So MP-10 says its one and out for the dogs.
