[#1 Blackcat Fan]

By the way, got to meet #1 Blackcat Fan last night. Classy guy, had a good time discussing the game back and forth. I thought he was going to have a heart attack the last minute and a half. nicker:

Nice to meet you to sir. It was only a stroke not a heart attack. nicker:

He was texting me the scores every time they changed!!

Now that I think of it, I haven't heard anything from him since that last text!!
:yikes:

I have learned over the years not to post for a day or two after a tough loss. You tend to make an ass of yourself.

Kicking into the river is exaggerating a little, but definitely a solid kicker. Don't think he got one over the fence. Plus, Estep was VERY close to blocking a couple of the PAT's coming off the edge. That might have factored into the coaches' thought process.

And credit Pikeville's D a little more, made SEVERAL stops in the backfield, and I can think of 2-3 times Frasure had no gain. Pikeville spent a fair amount of time in the Blackcat backfield. BUT they also let Jarrell have WAY too much time to throw on others. That is credit to the Pburg Oline. Not saying he's a bad back, before anyone accuses me of that. Just saying THAT call was not a particularly bad one. There were others I thought were way more questionable throughout the game than that one.

I know for a fact both of the first two extra point attempts was over the fence to the river bank. I can not confirm the third one i was celebrating.

In my coach from the stands opion, when you are up 7 on 4th down at your oppenents 14, and have a kicker who is knocking down 40-45 yarders in warm ups, take the 3.

Bottome line Prestonsburg made several mistakes, but the Panthers did also. Pikeville never lost focus and never gave up and overcame the mistakes they made.

Both teams appear to have bright seasons ahead of them. Both need to work on the fundamental mistakes made in this game.

This was one of the best high school football games i have ever witnessed. Congrats to Panthers and good luck on the season.

Blackcats on to the next one.
