Welcome back to armchair quarterback. The Pikeville Panthers off last week, they've struggled to a one in three start after playing one of the toughest, single-a non-district schedules in the state. The Panthers this Friday begin district play with Mountain Rival, the Hazard Bulldogs. Last year's Class A runners up. I spoke to Pikeville head coach Chris McNamee about this week's showdown. I think up there we've always go up there kind of thinking we're we may be behind a little bit going in and I'm sure they think the same thing coming down here but but we know it's always going to be a physical game. We've got to keep the quarterback contained defensively. Got to get a lot of people to the football. We know they're going to make some plays but we've got to be that bend but don't break don't give up any big plays type defense. Offensively you know as good as they are defensively. We've got to be able to take what they give us. We can't turn the ball over the way we have the past couple weeks or past couple games and and we've got we've got to somehow come up with a big play of our own whether it be on offense special teams defense and we're looking for a score from that way too. I think it's I think it's a classic Class A mountain football battle. Not not like the old days when Hillard and Paul Reigns were going at it with you know just them wing T and that's grounded pound. Both of us going to spread it out. I think both of us have a good stable athletes we can choose from and that are able to make plays at any time.

Welcome back to armchair quarterback presented by Jimmy John's gourmet sandwiches. Last Friday, the University of Pineville Bears hosted Ave Maria, Florida in Mid South Conference action. At the Hamley complex, the bears in all black from the opening kick, the bears got a big break. This time, Sonny Warren with the past completion to Braxton Whitmore for 16. He'll go on the way. That's a 30 yarder by William Chandler. Now here's Ave Maria. The offense is there. They make the completion but wrapped up quickly. No game. Sonny Warren again looking to throw this time. R T's Clark, a great spin move away from the defender and all the way to the end zone. Touch down bears. You bike offense. Not the best of nights, but good enough. That's Willie McLeod. He heads right. The play design there. Nothing doing. He'll reverse field change direction and takes it to the end zone untouched for the touchdown. Willie McLeod. Here's Chandler with the extra point. It's up clears the fence. It's good. Sonny Warren again. He'll hand off this time to McLeod. He'll pick up short yardage and again, Willie McLeod with the carry. The bears will get the win 31 seven over Ave Maria. You bike now two and two next up at St. Andrews, North Carolina Saturday at 130 complete coverage on Z 107 five beginning at 115. Saturday night, the Kentucky Wildcats were looking to put to rest a streak that had lasted 30 years, a losing streak to the Florida Gators. Kentucky hadn't beaten the Gators since 1986. It looked like the Wildcats were going to finally in the 31 year streak. Everything changed in the fourth quarter. Kentucky up in this one. That's bone with the touchdown catch. You'll get the feet down. The Gators took the get a touchdown and took the lead late 28 27. The cats will get the ball back late. They were in range for a field goal. A holding call set them back to try the 57 yard and that comes up short. We heard from coach Mark Stoops about the loss and how far the team has come leading up to that game. Just very, very disappointing loss. It's heartbreaking to our team, our fan base to a lot of people. Um, it hurts because our team is invested so much. We've worked extremely hard to get in that position to win that game to play quality football and to come up short hurts a lot of people. They really work hard during the week to put themselves in a position to be successful on Saturday and that's been like that all year and all off season. And again, it takes an awful lot of work by those players to put themselves in a position to play the way they do. Um, the Kentucky Wildcats will host Eastern Michigan this Saturday at Kroger Field. Formerly Commonwealth Stadium coach Stoops shared his thoughts on the game. Very well coached, very sound. Just a very good football team. Um, they have some impressive games this year, you know, winning on the road at Rutgers is a big win. And I thought, you know, I really know, uh, and watch, you know, Ohio and the fact that they took them to such a close game and really had some great opportunities to win that game is impressive. We all saw what Ohio you did against, uh, um, Kansas. And so these are good sound, tough football teams. And, and, uh, I like the way they play. They're just, they're just very sound. It's always a big point of, you know, whether you win or lose games is how you play in critical situations. And, uh, we need to get back on the right track of that. For defense and, um, you know, we, you know, we talked about all last week and we, we need to continue to get better at it. And we are going to practice with some serious crowd noise, uh, you know, defensively to help us, you know, make us communicate better with our hand signals and different, um, you know, not just the two plays that everybody think that that's, um, everybody, uh, I would say that that's not a, that's not communication, you know, I mean, that's just, that's a mistake. Kroger field in Lexington, we'll see Eastern Michigan at two and one. Take on the three and one cats at four p.m. kickoff Saturday afternoon. Well, another week has come and gone and now we prepare for another huge weekend of high school and college football. There's some great matchups this week. Will the undefeated remain unbeaten? Will the windless find their first win? We'll find out. And of course, the Bears on the road in North Carolina and the cats at Kroger field. We're looking forward to a great weekend and bringing you a recap next week on armchair quarterback. It's presented by Jimmy John's gourmet sandwiches in the bikeville comments. Thanks for tuning in.
