I knew coming into this game it was going to be a tall task to come away victorious. Breathitt County has a really good football team that’s playing their best ball of the season right now. They shutdown Pburg’s offense after the 2nd play and it put the Blackcat defense into a really tough spot and they just couldn’t matchup physically with Breathitt. Bobcats just had their way all night.

Haters can hate all they want, they’ve already been proven wrong. Prestonsburg is 9-1, district champs, and there’s still the possibility of hosting a quarterfinal game. This is a rebuilding program that’s simply been ahead of schedule. Tonight was a great reminder that there’s still a long ways to go to be near the top in 2A.

Going forward, Prestonsburg just needs to regroup, watch the film, learn from it, and prepare for East Ridge and a potential massive rematch with Betsy Layne. Can’t dwell on tonight’s game very long.

Best of luck to Breathitt County on the rest of the season.

Proud to be a Blackcat!
