credit given that they can run the ball but 216 and 224 is nothing compared to the 600+ that they ran against Bath. I think what has been stated is they can run the ball well against week teams but have a little trouble against stronger teams.. Time will tell

216 and 224 are good team rushing numbers. Shelby Valley may have lost those games, but saying those numbers are "nothing" is a figment of the imagination. 600+ is just unbelievable. I don't think a lot of you people understand how incredible those stats really are. 600+ rushing yards is amazing, I don't care who you're playing.

Having said all of this, Shelby Valley has a great rushing attack. Having said that, the Wildcats haven't faced a defense as fast Prestonsburg's all year long. Yes, Prestonsburg's defense is faster than Lawrence County and Clintwood. This Blackcat defense is as fast I have ever seen it. They have the size as well. Roberts and Hughes should have some success running like I said earlier in the thread, but the Blackcats will slow them down. The Wildcats may not have over 150 yards as a team. That would be a statement too, because this Valley team can run.

With Prestonsburg's defense and Michael Burchett's decision making ability at quarterback, the Blackcats should win this game by 3-4 TD's.
