Valley will get a serious wakeup call next week against Grundy, Virginia. If the Wildcats can stay withing three touchdowns of the Golden Wave then they can ahve reason for optimism. If not, then expect the 49 point embarassments to Belfry and Prestonsburg like always.

I think that a wakeup call will help alot of teams, Prestonsburg will probably get back to hard work and trying to get focused on being a preseason favorite in 2A after getting beaten by Hazard, a class A team that's susposed to be a 3rd seed in their region by most preseason polls. And I'd say that the thrashing Belfry took at the hands of a strong 4 A Team , will infact., act as a wakeup call to all their fans that thought that they actually had a chance of being able to compete with the stronger 4A powers. I don't think that a loss to a strong 2A team would have as much effect on Shelby Valley's team, most people had them picked to lose to both East Ridge and South Floyd. Even the News media had written this wildcat team off as a lost cause after all their problems during the past few months. Seems to me that those are the people getting the wakeup call.AT least that's the way I see it. That's what makes this team interesting to me, they keep doing things this season that no one expected them to do....WIN.
