Care to give your thoughts on why?

Paintsville is 1-19 against Pikeville since 1999 with a total point difference of 754 Pikeville to 298 Paintsville. The one win Paintsville had in the last 15 years was a 78 point swing most likely the greatest upset in Paintsville football history. For Paintsville to with against Pikeville it to the perfect storm of Paintsville playing well and Pikeville being over confidence and playing poorly.
This is a similar situation Belfry and Pikeville are in with this year Pikeville win.
The 2014 Pikeville Football Team lost more players to graduation in key roles than Paintsville. However, as Pikeville had demonstrated over the years they have much more depth and feel those positions with similar quality players. When you dress the small numbers that Paintsville dress replenishing the ranks is difficult if not impossible at times.
I was being optimistic when I gave the 75 % rating. The truth is that the chance of Paintsville winning again Pikeville in the next few years is much less.
How can anyone reach any other conclusion if they look at the facts?
