Actually, he was pretty accurate. Pikeville was 18-1 against Paintsville since 1998 before this playoff loss. Additionally Paintsville hadn't won before 1998 for another 15 years or so. Of course we saw that it didn't mean anything in the playoffs...

I believe the last three were 1986, 2001, 2014. Hopefully the trend stays true and the next L is in 2025 :biggrin:.

The Paintsville schedule is much improved, with more "name" programs. Even when a team like Harlan is down, it still seems like a bigger game than one of the Carters or Morgan County. The Tigers will be battle tested and see a multitude of looks to prepare for their best shot at a title game in decades.
