Paintsville is much better than I expected and a lot of the same could be said about Prestonsburg as well.

Tigers are really talented offensively. Line play is solid, QB has improved a lot as a passing threat, Lauffer is big threat any time he touches the ball, and others are gaining confidence as well. Biggest thing is for Prestonsburg to contain Johnson. Blackcat LBs and secondary is gonna need to play fast and play a smart football game. Have to limit the big plays or at least make them earn it.

Prestonsburg is going to want to run the football and use their speed in multiple ways to wear the Paintsville defense down and control the clock.

I think it’ll be a great game that both programs have been looking forward to. Should be a great atmosphere as well.

Taking the Blackcats to win, 28-22.
