[BlackcatAlum]

Prestonsburg fans and their team brought it tonight. Lightning delay sucked, but I was really proud of our fans and how many showed up to support these boys. I’d say we had more folks there than Magoffin did at their field which was very surprising quite honestly. Maybe the build up around this game was only coming from Floyd County.

As for the game itself, I thought Prestonsburg played about as good as they have period under Brewer for the first 3 quarters. The Blackcats offense played good and I loved the play calling tonight. Derek Newsome is a up and coming offensive mind. He called a a great game tonight and the guys did a good job executing it. I thought the line was really good and Ethan Jarvis was the star of the game offensively for the Blackcats. He’s turned into a STUD running back that deserves to mentioned as one of the best in the mountains.

Defensively the Blackcats played perfect for nearly 3 quarters. Stephens, Patton, Stumbo, Little, George, Porter, Makan, Goble, Jarrell, etc all played great football tonight. They were flying around and kept Lafferty contained all game and did a great job with Barnett also. Brewer done a great job at preparing these guys for this game and the game plan was successful. Much better than what we seen against Betsy Layne.

Blackcats got careless after they got up 26-6. They started celebrating a little early and credit Magoffin, they made things very interesting late in this game. The Blackcats defense made some great plays again on MC’s final drive to seal the victory. Lesson learned for this team, the game ain’t over until that final horn sounds.

Hats off to Aden Barnett. That kid ran for his life the whole game and made some great plays with his legs to keep some drives alive. I’d take him on my team any day.

Overall, a win is a win. Really proud of our fans, players and coaches. Prestonsburg is a football school and town and it’s showed through the first two weeks of the season big time.

The Blackcats have the chance to have a special season. One game at a time.

Go Blackcats!
