Prestonburg,

I wanted to throw in a note here. I was lucky enough to adminstrate a couple of the JV games Prestonburg played today.

They only had 7 kids. They only had 1 coach.

One of their fellows (had #21 on his helmet) got hurt during their second game I believe, but was able to play through.

I forget how they did in pool play. I believe they were a #5 or #6 seed come tournament time?

Either way, they beat a very good LexCath team. They showed a lot of determination in that game. Lots. They were down by at least 2 TDs at one point and came back to win by 4 in the second half.

Against Madisonville-North Hopkins, they were once again very gritty and it literally came down to the last play (a dropped ball in the endzone that would have set them up for the PAT to tie or win).

Once again, very impressed with those kids composure, the way their coach handled them, the way the kids rallied around one another, the QB (Adam?) handled his fellow players, and the support of their small contingent of fans there at the JV fields.

Nice job. My first experience with a team from Prestonburg. Just wanted to share that.

Yeah, the quarterback is Adam Crisp.

#21 may have been Cain Collins, not sure if the players wore their numbers or not.

Thanks for your kind words!
