How are things looking in Prestonsburg? I saw their schedule and they have six or seven winnable games. It will be an interesting game when Prestonsburg and Floyd Central play. Not very often does a father and son coach against each other. Good luck Blackcats!

Things are very positive and the team is confident. I’d say there’s roughly 35 players out. Give or take a few. I’ve heard more could come out in the coming days and weeks. Hager and his staff held a 3-day camp this week that wrapped up today.

Love the vibes with the team and staff right now.

I bet they will pick up more when school starts. Enthusiasm is contagious. People want to be a part of positive things.

Should players be able to join a team after school starts? They weren’t there during the summer workouts or practices in the heat putting in the time like the current players. If I was a player I don’t think I would like it. Wouldn’t seem fair that I was there all summer while they were enjoying their summer

Yes they should. You should always be looking to add players from your halls and grow your team. These aren’t kids that’s going to take a starting spot. Usually it’s kids that are young freshman. Maybe never played before. Probably need alotnof work. Get those kids out and you will get a few that will really help your team as a junior and senior. Also let’s not forget everyone’s situation is different.

I agree

Prestonsburg also has a lot of guys that play both ways, if you can develop younger guys or add athletes that can come in and make an impact in some form or another and give guys a rest for a series or a few plays then by all means you welcome it. Any small school would.
