[More Cowbell]

From what I have heard and remember from last year, I would assume Pikeville has a lot of inexperienced players. They graduated a loaded 6th grade group last year that probably ate up a lot of minutes. Also, I have heard there are more 5th graders than 6th graders playing in big roles. Not positive, was just told that. Also have heard they lack that one playmaker. Have some good athletes but no game breakers at this point. I think they will get much better by the end of the year. I think SV must be pretty good as well.

Well, that would make sense if Pikeville lost a lot from last year. If they have a lot of new guys starting, it will take a while for them to gel.

Valley is somewhat inexperienced as well. Although most of our skill players are 6th graders, four of our five starting O-linemen are 5th graders. Also, even though 11 of the 20 players on the team are in 6th grade, four of them have never played football before this year.

Looking forward to tomorrow's rematch at Hambley, it is another 5th/6th and 7th/8th doubleheader. Hoping for a couple of Valley wins, but even more that no one gets hurt for either team.
