Very sloppy game from both teams. May be a totally different game if it was played near the end of September instead of the middle of August.

 I'm pretty happy with alot of what I saw from Pburg, other than the penalties. The offense looked good and had a decent game plan, the backfield and oline are talented enough to win some games. However, the tackling was awful. Defense has to improve.

I'm not sure how I feel about BL. They have some talent, but their offensive game plan looked somewhat scattered. Almost like they couldn't decide what they were trying to do and kept shifting their focus throughout the game. Not sure if Jarrell was just trying to feel his team out in the first game to find a leader or if he was getting checked by the Pburg defense at every turn. Either way, it felt like they were unprepared for what Pburg was doing on defense. When you go back and watch the last drive by BL you'll notice that the edge rusher on the weak side was untouched to the QB every single play of the drive. Things like that have to be spotted and corrected by the coach in the booth immediately moving forward if BL is gonna compete at all in that district. 

Huge win for the burg. I think Brewer should consider this win as a cornerstone in the rebuild of this program. It has to start somewhere, and I think it starts here. Personally, I'm very pleased with how the team looked as far as conditioning, strength and will to win are concerned. By far the best they've looked in week 1 of the Brewer era. Great job, boys! Tighten up the discipline to stop committing silly penalties and work on tackling and keep playing together. This city is proud of you!

I couldn't agree more with this.

Things started out rocky for Brewer at Prestonsburg, but when you look at what all had happened you would understand why they struggled bad, especially the first 3 seasons. The culture around the program had to change and the only way to do it was winning football games. I think the program showed glimpses last season of turning things around, but they still had a letdown game. This season with 14 seniors, I'm hoping they're over that hump and have finally turned the corner. The guys on the team are believing they can win these games instead of just hoping for the best. If this team plays disciplined football for a full 48 minutes, they can win every game on their schedule this season. Takes belief, effort, and commitment.
