Will be an absolute war.

IMO, heading into the playoffs the Pirates have a leg up on Breathitt in two instances:

1) Belfry has played a tougher schedule and played better teams down the stretch that will have them prepared. With that said, Pike Central will be a very good challenge for Breathitt and really hep nullify this point by the time the two meet.

2) Belfry has played talented spread teams who mirror things Breathitt does very well (Ashland, to a lesser extent Pike Central, and to a much lesser extent Pburg). Breathitt, OTOH, hasn't played a rushing offense in the same hemisphere as what Belfry will bring to the table. The Bobcats two stiffest challenges was Hazard and Somerset who operate primarily out of the spread which plays into the Bobcat's strength.


Breathitt, OTOH, has a key advantage as well:

1) Homefield- Jackson is a tough, tough place to win... especially this late in the season.

Will be an absolute battle!

I wouldn't say Prestonsburg and Pike Central are talented spread teams who mirror Breathitt's offense. Both can throw the ball very well but to be able to successfully run the spread offense you have to be able to run the ball as well. Breathitt may spread you out but they run between the tackles as well as anyone in the mountains. Breathitt is also legit through the air. Ashland's offense is legit as well but they run different sets out of the spread. It can simply be put that Belfry hasn't seen an offense as balanced as Breathitt's and the bobcats haven't seen an offense as powerful as Belfry. With that being said if these two teams meet it will be a classic.
