That's today's Appalachian Wireless, an East Kentucky network company. For the first time in seven years, the Pikeville Panthers are headed to Lexington for the quarter-finals of the state All-A Baseball Classic. The Panthers were off to a strong start coming out of the gate at 19-0, being the longest undefeated team in the state of Kentucky, but after hitting a bit of a slump, the Panthers are looking to turn things around this weekend in Lexington, as head coach Stephen Prady talks baseball. You have a shot at a state championship. You want to get to the game first of all and then win the game, obviously, but it's still one at a time. You know, that's three games away, so we have Middlesbrough in front of us first and we'll focus on them. The Kentucky Derby is this weekend, so if you compare it to a horse race, I mean, we were at that speed, the horse would come out of the gate at 19-0. And then we kind of stumbled a little bit. Took our first loss, which was fine, and that's going to happen in this game, and then bounced back from it and beat a pretty good West Carter team. We went from a high to a low, went to a long road trip, went to a wrestle loss double-header. But these guys have responded well, and that's what I like about them. You know, it's hard to go through a season, a 36-game season, and play well every night or be undefeated in particular. You can't do it. You just can't do it in the game of baseball. But if they have the heart and the mentality to bounce back from it, and I think they do, we've got a shot at going down there and making some noise, I think. For the seniors, this is a moment they have been waiting on for years. And even with their baseball drought here these last couple of weeks, they still believe they can turn things around in hopes of becoming a state champion. It's the first time since 2010, I think so. And it's been our goal for a while to win a region, not just this region, but the big region too. And to get it done my senior year, it's special. I just know that whenever I was younger, my brother, my senior, he did it in 2010. It just feels good going back, like having the memories when he was going and then now I'm here. So it's kind of like replacing what he did. It feels good. It's just been like a dream really since freshman year just to get here and now that it's finally came true. It feels really good. That's a great opportunity. Last couple of years we came up short and it's just great to finally put it together and have a chance to go win a state. It's our first state tournament, so it was pretty cool getting to go down there and play in Lexington and experience it again. It's really forgetting what happened in the past couple of games and just having a brand new start and a brand new look out to how we approach each other. Those games were coming off an emotional win against West Carter. You need to get up at 8 a.m. the next day and it's just kind of difficult to transition after that. But we'll be excited to play at Whitaker Bank this weekend. Hopefully win a few games, maybe win it all. I think we definitely have a shot. I think we just had a little bit of a slower just like a little mid-week kind of bug there. Now I think we'll be up and ready to play Saturday. I think we'll win it all. The Panthers are set to begin play against Middlesbrough tomorrow afternoon at 2.30 from Whitaker Bank Park in Lexington. We will have live radio coverage beginning for you shortly before the game time on 98.1 hit City, USA.
