I'm as solid a Blackcat fan as you'll find and even I think you're laying it on a little thick. Comparisons to the '93 (or even '01 or '03) team(s) are completely out of place at this point in time.

All it takes for the Wildcats to be in the driver's seat in this one is one solid scoring drive to go along with one defensive stop (or P-burg TO) at the beginning of the game. If Shelby Valley can get a lead, its offense is ideally suited to protect it.

It'll take a number of things to go right for the Wildcats to win, but I've seen far crazier things happen.

Prestonsburg should approach this (and next) game in a workmanlike manner. Learn the assignments, execute the gameplan, and move on.

Another good post from a P-Burg fan.

I like most everyone else, think that all else being equal, the Blackcats should win this game by 2-3 touchdowns. Honestly, the only chance I think for SV to win is if P-Burg coughs up at least a couple turnovers, whereas the Wildcats really can't have any.

But then again, the weather is calling for heavy rain Friday night, which would seem to lend itself to turnovers. If SV wins the turnover battle, this one could be close. Conversely, if Valley is the team coughing up the ball, we could see a 30 point blowout by the Blackcats.
