I can see both sides of the argument regarding the touchdown. On one hand, I don't think Coach Hager was trying to be disrespectful and run up the score, but he was trying to get a kid a touchdown and got caught up in the moment. On the other hand, I see the frustration being on the losing end of all of this, and putting a score on the board which was meaningless. I think it was with good intention, but the timing of it wasn't thought out. Like I said, I see both sides of the argument, and no doubt Hager will learn from this regardless.

As far as the game, Prestonsburg was the far superior team, and this may have been one of the weakest East Ridge teams in memory. Prestonsburg did what it had to do, and got out of there with a win and no injuries. Paintsville will be the best team they have faced all year, and Paintsville's will field the best line the Blackcats have faced all year. It should be a dandy.

I’m not seeing an advantage at the line for Paintsville. Line play should be pretty close both ways. Just like last years matchup I think everyone expects a close game. The boys on both sides always get up for this one!
