[Buford T Justice]

I have re watched this game a couple times one on Breathitt co feed and one on Somerset the Qb for Breathitt was actually covering his head and ducking when he would throw the ball. You could tell he was gunshy in this game. He took a nasty hit on a sack from number 11 Austin lawless that caused him to be slow getting up. Everyone talks about Breathitt having good young talent what about Somerset, majority of their team is sophomore and juniors with a incredible 8th grade class coming in next year. Somerset gonna be really good going forward. Most people within the program believed this season would be possibly a little bit of a down year compared to what is coming even though I believe they can make a run to the semifinals again this year if they don’t have any injuries and keep playing good.

Will Breathitt and Leslie be a war?

I think Breathitt will beat Leslie by at least 2 scores Breathitt does run the ball pretty good and if they have time the QB can throw it. The problem he had last night was Somerset Defense was in the back field and had him scrambling most of the night. This was the same score as last season game. Somerset has got better each week now their line  is gelling giving Hughes what he needs. Also cimala has developed as another consistent threat along with Bruner reading and pulling the ball taking some of the pressure off Hughes makes their offense formidable. This is not official but lake Cumberland had Hughes withe 247 yards on 22 Carries last night. He pretty much ran all over the cats last night.

Just for fun I’m going to say Leslie Co. wins that matchup with their passing game. I feel like they want it more and will fight harder for it. Breathitt’s QB does not do well under pressure, which is to be expected as a freshman. But I do want to add that when he threw an interception to Somerset’s big lineman Koger, the freshman QB was the only player that I can recall that chased him down and tried with everything in him to prevent that touchdown from happening. He’s got a good arm on him and I look forward to seeing how he does going forward. 

Also, the star player that everyone was talking about that’s back is a good athlete when things are going right for breathitt, but I noticed him shutting down quickly against the Jumpers when faced with overcoming adversity. Hughes intercepted a ball thrown to him and he made zero effort to even go after him. Also noticed him shutting down when he saw Cimala coming at him or when Cimala had the ball headed his direction. Zero effort to tackle him. 

I’ll be tuned in to see how the Breathitt and Leslie game plays out. Should be a good matchup.

I’m not sure why Kyle didn’t run ball more and had no play action to keep Lb at home Somerset  not only team bring pressure on Breathitt. I feel like you guys one had most success. Your D line is athletic Breathitt ran and had starting tackle out They to many deep routes with no outlet throws. Kept backs in all night block try run stuff takes to long get open. They had success on hitches but just no one was open. Then had some deep balls late when they gave time throw. But Lesile co don’t have that kind athletes to put pressure QB if they do it be man to man. I think get burnt. Somerset had best secondary I had seen and great game plan and Breathitt made no adjustments. Qb got sacked more one game than I believe had all year.

The freshman quarterback really took a beating, but he hung in there well, and kept getting back up.  He throws a nice ball and will be a good one if he keeps developing.  Even though the game was out of reach in the 4th he didn't quit and made 2 really nice throws to give Breathitt 2 scores.  It would have been easy to pack it in and get the clock ran, but he hung in there.
