They don't tell the whole story, but stats DO tell a story. The story I get from looking at them is, for all the chest thumping from teams in the East, Pikeville and Paintsville have shown they are the two best defenses in the East regardless of stats. My goodness. Y'all put 48 on a team that was out scoring their opponents by 25 a game AND held them 8 points below their scoring average. People can say what they want, but Paris was a good team. A little overhyped yes, but still a good team overall. Same with Hazard. A good and well coached team, and they had a total of 107 yards of offense, with most coming on their lone TD drive that was aided by two penalties. Bottom line is, whoever comes out of the East will be a worthy representative and will rep us well. I'm just hoping its Pikeville. :biggrin:

Pikeville starters shutting Hazard out tells the story, the stats give more detail of just how dominating the defense was.irateSho
