I've been around and a part of this program for 45 + years and I wouldn't call beating Betsy Layne progress. I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but we have a long way to go. I think this is Brewer's best team by far, and hopefully by the end of the season we can say we've made progress. I can tell you, if Coach D. played this schedule on a regular basis during his tenure at Prestonsburg, there would have been a lot of of 9-1 and 10-0, seasons. Prestonsburg has a real shot at starting the season 6-0, and anything less would be a disappointment, in my opinion. I don't see us having the offense to play with Shelby Valley, but every other game is winnable. If we make the playoff's and finish the season at 7-3, 8-2, or 9-1, then I would call that progress. Anything less wouldn't be progress with this schedule. That is just my opinion! Hail Blackcats!

I agree.

The win over Betsy Layne is a big win for coach Brewer probably more than it is for the program. He had to win that game because this is year 5 and half his team are seniors. The Blackcats should be 6-0 heading into the 9/30 home district game vs. Shelby Valley. The talent and experience are there on this team. Not one team on the schedule should blow out this Pburg team.
