[BlackcatAlum]

Prestonsburg won big, but if you took the backs ends and linebackers out of the picture, and just focus on the down linemen, it’s a different outcome. East Ridge consistently won the trench battle when they were on offense. The Blackcat linemen were standing up looking around, I guess hoping that a backer or safety would make the play. On offense the blackcats came off the ball well but did not stay on their blocks. If this isn’t fixed soon, they are in deep trouble. Happy they got the win.

Prestonsburg linemen are getting better. I mean between the 5 that have started these first two games, you only had one linemen with varsity experience coming into the season. You get your most experienced linemen back this week who started every game last season and is 6’5 280lbs. That’s going to help in a lot of ways. 

Defensive line is probably the biggest area of concern. Not many hogs you can throw out there right now to clog up things. The ones you do have are freshman and I think they’re doing their best, all things considered. 

I think these guys are getting better with every rep. Trust me, the coaches stay after them and they’re putting in the work.
