[BlackcatAlum]

Betsy Layne was just better tonight. They looked great from start to finish and when it seemed like Pburg had a stop on 3rd or 4th down the Bobcats found a way to get the first down. Much different looking team than the one I seen play Bath and Knott. They’re really clicking right now.

I thought Carter Parsons played great. He’s really good at baiting defenders and finding open receivers on the run. His line blocked well for him and his receivers made plays. Defensively the Bobcats made it a point to take away Dalton Elliott and they did so very successfully. Kudos to Isaiah Allen. Pburg tried getting Elliott the ball in different ways but he was always bottled up and never could get going. Just a good game plan from BL.

Blackcats just had a bad night. Mostly because of Betsy Layne playing so well, but the injury bug took some key starters out of the game. Lost leading rusher Jacob Rose, starting center and nose tackle Logan Hall, and DL Nick Adams left in an ambulance with what was feared to be a neck injury, but turns out it’s just a concussion (PTL). Some questionable PI calls during crucial parts of the game (yet again with this crew). Just a tough night all around.

Prestonsburg has a lot to learn from a game like this. Most of the problems we’ve seen from the first 5 games showed up again tonight. I think a lot
Is just from inexperience. We forget that there’s a lot of freshman and guys out there that haven’t played many snaps of varsity football before this season. No excuses though. Just have to get better because district play begins next week at Martin County. A district championship is very much on the table. Team just needs to regroup and prepare for a hard nosed football game next Friday in Inez.

Congratulations to the Bobcats. This team is for real and probably one of the best BL teams ever. Definitely the best I’ve seen.

Go Blackcats!
