The Paintsville Tigers sits at 1-0 with a win over Floyd Central 37-8.

These two teams last met back in 2020 in Paintsville when the Tigers won 21-7. The Tigers would go on to win the Class 1A Title that season. Paintsville will looking to put 1A on notice with a win over North Kentucky 1A Power Newport Central Catholic. Who wins this 1A showdown in Paintsville? Does Newport Central Catholic show Paintsville they aren't ready for the spot like just yet? Does Paintsville send Newport Central Catholic back 0-2?

I figure they would be some decent chatter about this matchup.

This could be an interesting game. I wouldn’t be surprised with either winning. Good luck to both teams.

I think this should be a good match up. Your right about the Lloyd game. That game could have ended 14-10 or 49-3. Both teams were flat. NCC is much better than what they showed that night. NCC bounces back and wins a close one. 28-20. Good Luck to both.

I went back and watched the New Cath and Lloyd game. After re watching it, I don’t think New Cath was aggressive enough in the red zone. I believe they should have took some shots. They kind of looked complacent with just taking or a shot at 3 points.

Now this Paintsville team is gonna absolutely air it out and they better be ready for it. #1 will be targeted many times Friday night. Hopefully we can get a link/video for this matchup.

Paintsville appears to love to stay in a formation and no huddle. They want to use your adjustment against you. They ran the same Bubble Screen to #1 one possession on back to back plays out of the Empty, and then hit a home run on a QB draw. They did the same when they went 2 back in the second half. They want to spread you out, put their guys in space, and make you tackle. Everyone will need to get to the ball carrier/receiver Friday. #1, #4, #33, #2, #5 are all really shifty athletes with size. NewCath will have to stay disciplined. There are tendencies to their formations that the coaches, I'm sure have seen and will exploit, if I could see them. Paintsville's inexperience at line really hurts their ability to use the middle of the line to run. Hopefully the Breds can also use that to get into passing lanes w/ so many screens being thrown.

Bump.

Is there any live audio to this game?
