Betsy Layne played lights out. When they’re clicking on all cylinders they’re just as good as Pikeville, in my opinion.

I think you’re seeing kids step up and show potential for Prestonsburg. Last night we seen it with freshman Kaden Allen. I think him, Lawson and Slone are emerging as the 3 best players on the team and Allen and Slone are freshman. Pburg will be more competitive as the younger guys develop over the next year or two. Hopefully they can hold on to Casey Huff and Thacker. Would like to see those guys grow as coaches with the program.

Let’s pump the breaks on them being as good as Pikeville.  Pikeville beat them fully healthy by 16 and in the All A by 12.  They go on the road against Knott County with 14th Region officials.  They only played maybe a hand full of games without 15th region officials and this one could be their last until the Region tournament. I believe the 15th region tournament this year gets 13th Region officials.   

As far as PBurg they have a long way to go and I do hope they give Coach Huff the time it will take the develop the talent.

Betsy Layne was without Brady Robinson that game cause he got two technicals in the Paintsville game.

The first game he played and the lost by 16.  Was down 26 until Newsome pulled starters and Justice did as well.   One of the above posters had to bring Pikeville into the conversation. Hard to say they are as good as them when they haven’t even come within double digits yet.

I agree with you we aren’t better than Pikeville right now but I think we have a chance come region time.

Right now I think 3 teams have a shot at taking down Pikeville.  Lawrence, JC and BL.  Anyone can lose 1 game.   The region should be fun
