I think the Paintsville win over Beechwood made us all take a look at the Tigers. Pikeville was the consensus preseason favorite, Paintsville gave them all they wanted. Raceland had high Hope's. Playing very well and in some cases looking better than Belfry in their scrimmage and dominating a 5A MontgomeryCo. All of that being said. Beechwood is not the Beechwood they have been the last few years, that's from speaking with those around the program. Belfry had several key kids out of the scrimmage. Raceland got trounced by a Russell team that I believe is goina under the radar make things interesting in their class and lost their starting QB for who really knows how long. Still alot of its and buts, question Mark's across the board. But by this point in the season, perinial contenders for the title seeing each other in regular season matchups give us a good gauge of comparable numbers. Raceland has never won at Pikeville and are goina have to pull some pretty remarkable stuff to do so. I do think we have rebounded a bit and Hughes got some confidence in his recievers and the recievers in him last week at Rowan. Still a tall task for my Rams.
