Everybody now using the Sayre excuse to play a JV schedule doesn't fly. They are a private school with several D-1 players and an NFL coach. Nobody believes that schedule will get Prestonsburg anywhere. It's really the opposite, they will get drilled by the first good team they play in the playoffs. They will have a good record though, which is nice.

Right, Sayre was good whether they played a hard schedule or not. That’s my point. Would a brutal schedule help Pburg win a state title next year? If you think not, then why do it? What’s the point? This schedule will get them ready to play 3 home playoff games, which is a great step forward for a program that has won only 2 playoff games in the last 8 seasons and both of those wins were last year. The top 3 or 4 schools in 2A are very, very good, and I don’t think any type of schedule is going to put Pburg above them this year. If Hager keeps building this program up with winning seasons and winning playoff games then we’ll get there though!

I think Prestonsburg is traditionally a top program and top programs don't play JV schedules. A bad look and not exciting for the team and fans. Not to mention doesn't make you better. I just think the school, the players, the town and the fans of Prestonsburg deserve a good schedule. The team has earned it.
