And yes...I will openly say the reason I punished Pburg was a very tight win over Shelby Valley in a game that even Pburg fans acknowledge was just two fairly even matched teams going at it. SV is not a team that should be in the discussion for a Top 7 ranking in 2A... they are a team who has lost to 1A Paintsville as well... a Top 5 team in 2A should have rocked Valley by at least 3 TD's.

Maybe I am wrong about SV.. we will see come playoffs if they can win a couple playoff games.

I guess my bigger issue with Pburg is the fact they have had an opportunity to make a statement and separate themselves the favorite in the East, but have yet to do so. They collected a good close win against hazard....and the SV and PC wins aren't bad wins... but for a team thinking of making a run to Bowling Green (which a Top 5 team in 2A would be from the East) I was expecting them to make a little more of a statement of dominance. Fairview and Wburg put PC away.... yet Pburg couldn't?

I see you are still avoiding post #7. :eyeroll:

No one said Shelby Valley was top 7 in 2A, but how do you reward Valley for the loss and discredit Prestonsburg for the win?

I didn't want to bring this up because I don't want it to sound like I am discrediting SV because that is not my intention. Prestonsburg was missing some key players in the Valley game. Starting Center Goodman, DB/WR Marcum, and LB/RB Ousley who leads the team in tackles. I knew Marcum would be out in this game because he is out for the season, but in my prediction I didn't know we would be missing the other two. Ousley is a huge difference maker on Prestonsburg's defense. We didn't win by as many as I nor several others thought, but in my opinion that had to do with Valley being better than most thought and Prestonsburg missing key players. We did do what good teams do though. We plugged in other players and still pulled out a win we was suppose to win.

So now it is we didn't beat Valley by enough and since Fairview & Williamsburg put Pike Central away and Prestonsburg only won by 9. Just so you know also that was the 1st game Marcum was out so some adjustments was being made in the secondary.

I guess Danville's narrow win (21-19) over a winless Somerset team didn't come into the equation although apparently Prestonsburg's 9 point win over a team who handled them pretty easily does. nicker:

Come on EKU you have to do better than that.
