[Blue_Bird96]

Going to make a few points since there is some bickering on multiple threads then I'm done with this game. I like Williamsburg and rooted for them twice in the state finals, so no disrespect at all...

1. I don't buy that Williamsburg is not as good as last year's team. That team barely beat Pineville by a TD and beat Middlesboro by a similar score as this year, got crushed by Paintsville and gave up a zillion yards losing to Hazard. Calpreps gives this Williamsburg team a slightly higher (~a point) rating than last year.

2. Pikeville lost Battaile (maybe best QB in 1A and great defensive player) and also C Dawahare (starter and very good player) so W'burg isn't the only team to be splaying short-handed.

3. Bluebird seemed to be obsessed with Ponder but let's see who WAS on the field: Poore (344 yds passing 2TD passes 1 rushing TD against Paintsville this year) White (13 receptions 207 yds TD catch against Paintsville this year) Powell (2 catches 55 yds TD catch against Paintsville this year) Mattingly (4 catches 33 yards against Paintsville this year). Plus a whole bunch of other people out there lol...Pikeville shut them down.

4. EA says this is Pikeville's worst team since 2013. When someone's worst team in years puts a running clock on you in the first half on your home field in the playoffs maybe you should be wowed. The margin is 36 and that is for 1 half. But the Panthers will have to earn respect on the field (as it should be) and not because some guy posting on a board somewhere is wowed or not.

Good luck to Williamsburg. They will be back in the thick of things soon IMO.

I made the top 3!! inglepar. nicker: I love anytime JEt tries to compare past opponents to what they did against Paintsville! 1. It's nice to see you hold Paintsville as the gold standard! :1:

2. How about comparing Pikeville to Paintsville when they actually played? The Tigers Shut em DOWN!
