My friend Estill beat Breathitt in the 90's and mid 90's. Estill has won their district but not when you would not know, early 80's. In the 90's they were runner up to Danville and Rockastle, no slacker. This year was not a playoff game, it was the district, new ballgame, you have to win your district to get to the playoff, you can call it playoffs if you want. Cawood was not very good at all. So they beat rival Cumberland, good win for them. There is no ax to grind, the truth is the truth. I can promise you Breathitt's football team is not stronger than Estill's. They are however more aggressive and disciplined and play a lot tougher schedule. If this offends you......that's life. Don't say your neutral, if you were you would not chip in. Estill's previous coaches have not kept pace the last two years. Everyone else is getting better or staying the same with an occassional down year, while we lower our schedule. That tough Cawood team beat Powell barely at Cawood, so that is not a feat.

FNL,
The KHSAA calls it a "playoff". In your angry , jealous little world of bashing you may be Tom Landry and have all of the answers BUT in the real world where kids,coaches and fans dwell there are ups and downs. Cawood is a very talented team. Breathitt is a good team. Powell County is a team that has weapons to "shut up" alot of "nay sayers." The scheduling that Estill had this year was a result of the classification change and the fact that a couple of the team thought we would be an easy win but found out different. We never looked at a team this year and thought that we had the game in the bag. A true competitor would never do that. If you could just show up and win then everyone would want to play football. It's a sport that takes a certain type of person to play and for you to demean the Estill program and the teams we played this year is just ignorant! Breathitt is a good team and I don't think that they overlooked anyone this year either.
If you are eligable to play then come out play and learn something about this sport. If you are a spectator then come to our practice and watch. If you are a coach calls us up and let's scrimmage or play. I'm sure Coach Jones would accomodate you for any of these scenarios!
