[all-or-nothing]

Speaking of strong schedules; last year Valley played Breathit County away, Belfry away, Knox Central away, Middlesboro in the playoffs away, Prestonsburg (district game) at home.

I believe that is pretty tough competition. We lost all of these games, they no doubt made Valley a better team, the two negatives that result from such a tough schedule is the mental wear on these young kids of lossing, as well as the greater possiblility of injuries. And last year when you only have 25-30players on the team, if you loss one or two of your skill players to injuries, your entire season is in jeopardy.

Excellent Post. A lot of good points here. And, as others have commented, this was Saunders' schedule. However, I don't think anyone should EVER underestimate a team. That said, I predict Valley will win by 4 touchdowns.

Go Wildcats!
