To be honest, I just hope the Panthers come out of this game injury free. That's a huge task taking on the class 3-A champs at their place. CAL has talent, experience, speed, and numbers all over the field. If the Panthers can escape the injury bug it will pay dividends come late October. One thing is for sure, Pikeville will not go down without giving it all they have and then some. May not be enough, but CAL will know they didn't just lay down.

Will the WDRB+ app/news station be broadcasting CAL games this year including this one against Pikeville?

Don't know why you would want CAL to beat Pikeville so bad Watusi. You must have a deep grudge against your home Co. football team. Anytime I've ever heard Pikeville fans discuss Belfry opponents it was just the opposite; we were always supporting the Pirates. Showing your true colors, I suppose.

It’s not complicated and no secret, I hate the Panthers and hope they lose every game in every sport ? 

And yes, it goes really deep.

Did these teams get out of the scrimmages injury free? Hoping for an injury free game Friday for both. 

CAL did not.  I believe they’ll be without 3 starters Friday, one of which is a D1 FBS commit & another is a high level D1 recruit.  They do have very capable backups in their place however.

And yes, always hoping for a clean, injury free game every Friday.

I believe they still are broadcasting both CAL & Trinity home games, but not 100% positive on that.  I haven’t heard anything different.

? Not at all. Quite the contrary, I am as happy as I can be.  I’m pleasant to be around and dog-gone-it, people like me.

@Carlito Do you know if Pikeville is coming in healthy to this matchup?

You’ll find that out Friday ?.  Two of them didn’t play against Franklin County.

Ouch! Sounds like they might play Friday. I will definitely be following this one Friday night for the score.

As far as I know all varsity players are healthy. In the LC, Martin Co, Pikeville scrimmage, a Freshman had a collar bone broken.  Understandably, he's out for the season.

Definitely not the way u want to start the season. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

One has a chance to play, one is a toss-up, but more than likely will be out and the other I'm confident won't play.  In fact, the one who won't play, I'd be surprised if he returned before CAL's game against Ryle, but we'll see.  Kids definitely heal quicker than us old folks.
