I'm still nauseous from what I witnessed Friday night. There were a lot of factors in what happened in this game IMO, the biggest factor being that the boys we have been watching for the past 4 weeks did not show up to play a team the caliber of Breathitt; where did our Black Bears go???

They were intimidated I think; most of the boys played like they were afraid and just totally gave up once they got behind and missed a couple of very good opportunities to score. There was the hype and excitement of the very first home game for the new school, the rain, the fact that we played without our starting QB, who is a good passer and probably could've opened up our running game a little with some connections on some passes, just a lot of factors. I know this has been stated in the past, but let's remember though that these boys have not all played together in the past, much less in a game of this magnitude. They do not have the experience/composure that Breathitt has from playing together for years.

I think if the boys can take this total butt kickin' and learn from it and grow together from it, it might be a totally different story if we meet Breathitt again down the road, not saying we would blow them out, but I do think our boys can play a WHOLE lot better than they showed Friday night. I am still proud and love all our boys....now let's get it together these next two weeks Bears and get ready for Powell Co.
