[BlackcatAlum]

I honestly don't know what to expect. Blackcats lost a lot of key pieces from this past seasons team. What defense they did have, they pretty much lost. On offense they lost arguably their best player in Williams. Returning Jarrell & Frasure will be huge, but if Anderson doesn't play then that slows down that offense a ton. Anderson is their fastest player and only proven route runner that can make a play on the team.

Blackcats really need a lot of guys to step up and I'm sure they will. They'll be young, and I'm confident that they'll be able to capture another district title, but getting past the 1st round of the playoffs is going to be tough.

Wish they would've kept Perry Central on the schedule. These two have developed a rivalry and each of their last 4 or 5 games have been nail biters. Don't know why that series is over, but I think it was a mistake losing it. Dropping Belfry is understandable, because Prestonsburg clearly isn't on their level right now. I like the addition of Knox Central to the schedule, as the Panthers have been playing some really good football in a upper class over the last 4 or so seasons. The Sheldon Clark, Lawrence County, and Hazard games should be dandys.
