Prestonsburg loses 3 starters on offense and 3 starters on defense off a team that started the season 4-1 and finished 5-6.

Schedule should look about the same as last season:

@ Leslie Co
East Ridge (Pike Co Bowl at Pikeville) ???
Paintsville
@ Lewis Co
Pike Co Central
Betsy Layne
Martin Co
Floyd Central
@ Knott Central
@ Breathitt Co

Key Losses: RB Jacob Rose, OL/DL Josh Elkins, DL Nick Adams

Key Returners: WR/DB Dalton Elliott, WR/DB Alex Harris, OL/DL Cole Laferty, LB Logan Stumbo

Players to keep an eye on: Westin Harris, QB Bryce Holbrook, WR/DB Kain Patton, RB/LB Colin Hatfield, TE/LB Baron Craft, OL/DL Daniel Adams, DL Noah Price, LB Tyler Stephens, HB/DB Drake Hatfield, QB/TE/LB Brady Allen

Should have 15 or so incoming freshman. I expect to see some freshman play varsity minutes next season. Have some studs coming up.

Dalton Elliott has nearly 2000 yards of offense and 27 touchdowns under his belt as a Blackcat. He's been killing it at indoor track meets as well. He's going to be one of the fastest players in the region next season.

Coach Wes Hager will have a athletic team with playmakers to work with in year one. I think they're capable of winning the district, but Martin County will be the preseason favorite. I'm not sure on who might transfer in. I've heard some names, but we will see over the next few months.

Hager has already hit the ground running and I'm excited to see what he and this new staff can do with the program.

Go Blackcats!!!

Didn’t Martin County graduate a lot? 

Are y’all expecting a bunch of transfers in with this hire? Things ain’t like they used to be. People actually have to physically move to be eligible now.

bet you believe in the tooth fairy too!

No, but I’d be willing to bet that if a bunch of kids from Martin County follow Hager to Prestonsburg, they won’t be eligible unless they move to Floyd County.

This isn't correct, they can transfer there without moving and still be eligible. The way you are describing is the old rule

False. Like I said earlier, they already have a transfer from Paintsville who as of right now will not be eligible to play football at Pburg until October, which is when he quit at Paintsville. His dad is a good friend of mine.
