If Raceland, Pikeville, and Fairview were on the same situation as Paintsville last year, then I could agree that a 4A back, coupled with a healthy Daniels, another year under the QBs belt, would make them the favorite. But the fact remains that Raceland/Fairview and Pikeville are still tops in their region. Fairview is a question mark, but Raceland and Pikeville are more than likely on a path to 7-3 up to a 10-0 regular season, district championships, and another meeting in the Regional Championship. The only toss up games for Raceland are Ashland and Coal Grove or Ironton. For Pikeville, I think their only toss up games are Hazard(another A mainstay), Belfrey and Prestonsburg. Both teams should handle everyone else on their schedule pretty soundly. I may be way off basebut thats just my opinion. Everyone in the east, outside of Williamsburg is still young. Which means not much will change over the next several years on our side of the state. All of which is good for 1A football. With all classes seemingly becoming more competiive in the next alignment, I think KYHS football is on its way into national relevancy.
