[PHS DYNASTY]

Should be big favorite in the East. As good as they were last year I look for them to take a big step forward.

I agree. Panthers should take that big step forward this yr. Exciting to think that would be Kroger Field. The big four out of the east (Pikeville, Paintsville, Raceland, and Hazard), either one of these teams could very well face Beechwood out of the West. Right now, Beechwood looks to be the favorite from that part of the state. No doubt, the Tigers will be looking, and looking very hard to go out with another 1-a trophy to add to their case before moving to 2-a. Whoever meets them in the finals are going to have a fight on their hands for sure. If it is Beechwood that makes it there, I wish whoever comes out of the East the best of luck. Having said that, i'm pulling for another Pikeville/ Beechwood contest with the Panthers bringing the trophy back to the mountains. HAIL PIKEVILLE !!
