The Blackcats will be a very good team by playoff time. They are not in shape now as compared to what they will be in November. If they were not so fatigued I think they win this game by 10+ points. But it being early, fatigue plays a major role in these games. That being said, Pikeville is a very good 1A team. The pass on 3rd down late and the 15 yrd punt killed Prestonsburg, but thats the way the ball bounces sometimes.

Not in shape? Whose fault is that? The coaches? Or the players for not taking off season conditioning seriously like Pikeville? Had they met later in the year, I think Pikeville wins by MORE. Both teams had first game rustiness, no doubt. But I agree with the above poster, that's a BS post. It is what it is. Pikeville took Pburga best shot and got up off the mat for a last round knockout. Blame it on conditioning, coaching, whatever you want to. In the end, the final score mattered, and it said Pikeville 30 Prestonsburg 29.

Good luck to the Blackcats the rest of the way.
