Hager seems like a great guy and he seems to be trying to do the right things within the program and the community. I didn't know it until a couple of days ago that Brewer didn't involve the feeder programs to attend media day last year. You talk about a program killer! I was happy to hear that Hager allowed all elementary programs to participate this year. I heard he attended the Allen Eagle throwback game and was very impressed with the turnout. These little things go a long way when trying to build a program, and the kids and parents see this and want to be a part of it.

As for this year, Hager is going to have his hands full. He has the skill players to compete, but the inexperience and overall talent up front will be a major concern. I would be very surprised if they finish the year at .500. With all of that coming into play, we still can't judge him off of one year, especially when he has been dealt a bad hand in regards to transfers, and kids leaving which was beyond his control. Prestonsburg has a solid freshman and sophomore class, and with the talent coming up from the middle school the future is bright. The key as I have heard a lot of people around town talking about is keeping all of the talent in Prestonsburg. We all know, the talent has always been here, it's just been hard keeping it over the last ten years or so. Hail Blackcats!

Hopefully there’s some linemen coming up!! That’s the best coaching group on his staff but they don’t have a talented group to develop right now. Until that is resolved there won’t be many wins in Pburg. 

It’s going to be a rough road. Brewer is probably a better football coach but Wesley may prove to be a better program builder. I worry about the football knowledge on the staff that he has built but if he can develop or upgrade his coaching staff things may trend in the right direction with enough time. 

Prestonsburg has had the longest drought in talent it’s seen in a very long time. Thats the real issue. As the population has decreased the talent pool has too. It’s not a very attractive destination for transfers or coaches at the current time.
