Rnd 1 predictions...

All 4s get throttled by 1, quite possibly involving 70-0 shutouts. If the East contenders, Raceland, Pikeville, Hazard, and Williamsburg(r u hapoy now 64), are smart though, rounds 1&2 will should be over by the 2nd quarter or 3rd quarter at the latest, in each game. No chance anyone's team holds a Mr. Football, so stat padding needs forgotten.

Regions 1:
1 Mayfield 49
2 Russellville 35

Region 2:
Frankfort 35
Beechwood 28

Region 3:
Hazard 28
Williamsburg 21

Region 4:
Raceland 42
Pikeville 38

I think this is the year that Frankfort and Raceland get over the regional championship hump. Next year, imo, though is a long ways away, will come dow to pikeville/williamsburg in the east. But thats along ways away. As for this year, The Jackets are honest contenders for the east, i just dont have confidense in their defense.

Raceland is the steongest over all team at this point. They seem to be peaking and clicking at the right time. Especially defensively. Look at the lines they have played against:
Fairview
Coal Grove
Ironton...all were huge and stronger upfront than most they will see in the post season.

Ashland and Lawrence County provide speedy lines, of which Raceland handled for the most part.

Ive said it once and I will say ot again. This is a COMPLETELY different team that lost to LC. Imo if Raceland had rematches of those games, they would win both by 2-3 scores. Racelands defense is good enough, thy the offense doesnthave to put up a whole bunc of points. They just have to omit stalling inside the redzone(happened twice against ironton).

Bring on the playoffs! Love me some small school football good luck to all teams and may all stay injury free!
