This is the real preview. I mistaken with the previous one. It was not the preview, it was just an interview they did with the head coach.

2013 WYMT Pigskin Preview: Paintsville Tigers

PAINTSVILLE, Ky (WYMT) - The Paintsville Tigers have a new coach leading their team into the 2013 season. First year Head Coach Joe Chirico says he's getting back to the basics with the tigers.

"Blocking and tackling a lot of fundamentals that's our main focus. We gotta be better tacklers, gotta be better on the offensive line and defensive line. Our skill players you know they are pretty good players, but our offensive line and defensive line have a ways to go, but I think we've got some players that will step up," said Coach Chirico.

With a 23 man roster, the Tigers are preparing to be on the field for most of the game.

"It's really about the 11 toughest people we can put on the field. More is demanded of us than some other schools, but I think we have people here that are willing to give it all they have and leave it all out on the field," said Senior Lineman Jordan Cox.

Senior Quarterback Mark Fannin agreed with Cox, "It's pretty tough we're going to do what we have to do to try to win some of those games, we've got our work cut out for us."

Senior Wide receiver Lane Daniels and Senior Lineman Blake Williams point out the positives from last season.

"We can only go uphill from 2-9 I think we learned a lot, got a lot more experience. We only lost 2 players last year and several juniors experiences adds a lot to it," said Daniels.

"Last year we were either tied or had the lead in 7 of the 10 games, but since we had no back up no second string we just got fatigued and worn out," said Williams.

With a new coach, and a young team, the tigers will need strong leadership from their seniors..

"I'll try to take a leadership role and try to motivate our players to work hard and we're all working hard we want to win this year we want to turn this program around and win and be successful," said Senior Lineman Prater Helton.

The Tigers kick off the season with back-to-back-to-back home games.
