Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Nicholas County should expect quite the challenge on Friday. Paintsville and Nicholas County go head to head at 7:30 PM in their first playoff matchup of the year. The stakes are high as the teams both are all in, each fighting to extend its postseason success.
Nicholas County can now show off four landslide victories after their most recent contest last week. They claimed a resounding 62-0 win over Fairview. That looming 62-point mark stands out as the most commanding margin for Nicholas County yet.
Meanwhile, after a disappointing six points in their last game, Paintsville made sure to put some points up on the board against Bracken County. Paintsville blew past Bracken County 39-6. This was a playoff game, so the win was all the more important for Paintsville (and all the more bitter for Bracken County).
The last time the two teams met, Nicholas County lost to Paintsville by a decisive 21-41 margin. The defeat knocked Nicholas County out of the playoffs, so expect them to come at Paintsville with a vengeful fire.
