Not sure what else Coach D has up his sleeve, but the offense that Magoffin ran vs Breathitt was the exact same offense he ran at Pburg for 25 years. Double tight 2 back shotgun with alot of off tackles, counters and qb runs. If he had another offense then I'm sure he would have tried to fine tune it at least a little bit vs Breathitt to be ready to use it for Pburg. I dont see Magoffin being capable of learning two completely different offensive schemes in Derossetts very first offseason just for the purpose of misdirection when studying film. Not saying it's impossible, but I'm saying it's very unlikely. I think Magoffin does exactly the same thing vs Pburg that they did vs Breathitt, which is use the offense Coach D had a tremendous amount of success with the last time he was a head HS football coach. Pburg will control the clock and field position with better linemen and better backs, but for Magoffin to have a chance in this one they will have to have a game full of explosive plays out of that two back gun scheme, and given that pburg didn't look very good on defense vs BL that gives Magoffin a shot in this one, but they will have to earn it

I think it was mentioned before that it is uncharacteristic of a DeRossett team to be so out of shape.  His previous teams used to beat teams in the second half because of conditioning.  

this is the only issue is see with the MC team. Scheme and misdirection of plays won’t be a factor if they can get in game shape for this matchup. Pburg has some runners but so does magoffin, Pburg has some blockers, so does magoffin.  Ben is a big kid and could dominate this game if he wants to.  If they can get Ben mentally ready for this game and put it all out on the field, then Pburg will just step out of his way.  Ben has to set the tone and the team will follow.

I can assure you PBurg won’t just “step out of his way”

The defense gave up a few big plays to Betsy Layne, but one of their TDs was scored on a fumble recovery vs the offense. I expect Coach Brewer to tune up the defense this week in practice. If Magoffin’s line doesn’t get any better, then a few players from PBurg will live in the backfield all night. 

Barnett and Lafferty are studs though, that’s without question. Barnett is just good at every sport he plays and Lafferty is a very intelligent player.
