Prestonsburg needs to play a tough non-conference schedule as does Breathitt as there conferences are weak. You can toot the Shelby Valley horn all you want to. Just because they are better doesn't make them great. Usually they are mediocre at best

Prestonsburg played:

Belfry
Pikeville
Paintsville
Matewan, WV
Breathitt County
Sheldon Clark
Pike Co. Central

What more can you ask of them to play? Its not like scheduling team is easy anymore with 6 classes now. You take what you can get. Prestonsburg beat teams they where supposed to beat and they also beat the teams they weren't supposed to beat. Doing all this with 30 teenagers that have a combined average of 190lbs.

I'm not going to try to quote it all but someone stated that the only team to slow down P-Burgs offense would be Bell County. P-Burg only scored two offensive TDs against SV. P-Burg desrves the ranking because they are a good football team with a heck of a QB. There are some very physical, deep, running teams behind them that would give them fits in my opinion.

Looks like you read half the post I typed up then, because if you would have read the entire post you would have seen that I said our offensive coordinator missed the entire week leading up to the Shelby Valley game and the play calling was left up to our head coach John Derossett. Who is a smashmouth kind of guy, and that's also why we ran the ball the entire game with an accational flag pattern to Jamerson. But point is we still won without our normal play caller calling the plays against a very good Shelby Valley team.
