This really pains me to say, because I bleed blue as much as anyone who gets on this site but Betsy Layne isn't ready to compete with a team like Prestonsburg. Yes, they have athletes to match up but the Off and Def lines are no contest. Betsy Layne is too young up front and games are won in the trenches. Betsy Layne challenges and maybe upsets Prestonsburg in two years, but this one is not going to be pretty I fear unless Betsy Layne can slow the game down and take over two and a half minutes off the clock at least with every possession, even on 3 outs. Red has to spread the field and get the ball out of Dylan Hamilton's hands as quick as he gets the snap. If they play for first downs and not worry about the big plays, it will give them there best shot. I've seen crazier things happen in sports, so maybe my Bobcats can scare the Blackcats at least but I still believe they're a couple of years shy of competing against PBurg.
