What a season for Blackcat football.

This is an absolute heartbreaker for those seniors. Michael Burchett (arguably the best quarterback to ever play for Prestonsburg), had about an incredible of a year as you could ask for. Burchett was in my mind, the Mountain MVP this season. He really developed from last year to this season. No one ever dreamed he or the Blackcats would have this kind of a season. This team had the guts, the heart, and the smarts to get as far as they got. They were an absolute joy to watch all season. This team had the quarterback, the receivers, the speed, and most everything you could ask for (except for a power running attack) to get the job done.

Tonight was just the Colts' night. They got the turnovers they needed (which is what hurt Prestonsburg the most) and executed on the offensive end with the running game. Ryan Johnson done a heck of a job tonight at quarterback for DeSales. #1 had a great night on the ground as well. Prestonsburg couldn't control the clock and couldn't keep the Colts defense on the field. Still though, turnovers was the difference in the game. Three turnovers and only forcing one turnover won't get you too far.

Congrats Colts and good luck in the championship game. You have a heck of a football team!

I want to take this time to make a sort of tribute to all those seniors for the Blackcats. Heck of a season guys! Nothing to be ashamed of guys, you just had a historic year. To Michael Burchett, Tyler Hall, Cameron Tincher, Austin McKinney, Josh Craynon, Zak Key, Josh Blackburn, Cody McCoy, and Jerry Hicks..thanks for being so much fun to watch this season! Good luck with whatever each of you do!
