Should be another really exciting football game as Pburg won the first matchup earlier this season, 39-32.

I think you can basically throw that game out. as it'll have no implications on this game. BL will come ready to play and want to end Prestonsburg's season and have the last laugh. Prestonsburg would love none other than to continue their revenge tour and end Betsy Layne's season.

What's at stake for both programs: 

Betsy Layne is seeking the programs first ever 2nd round playoff victory. If the Bobcats can beat the Blackcats, they'll likely be headed to Beechwood for the state quarterfinals round. Now if Breathitt County were to pull off the upset over Beechwood, BL is either headed to Inez (if Martin Co beats Shelby Valley) or they're hosting Breathitt County (if MC loses to SV). 

Prestonsburg is seeking their first 2nd round victory since 2014 and would be hosting their first quarterfinals round game since 2009. A win over BL would mean the Blackcats host the winner of Bracken Co/Somerset.

Should be a much talked about matchup and I expect another awesome atmosphere at Josh Francis Field.

Thoughts/Predictions?

Didn’t Pburg host Somerset in 2013 after Somerset beat Betsy Layne, then Middlesboro and then traveled to Prestonsburg for round 3?

Should be a good game , prestonsburg for the win I believe .

This one will be a slobber knocker. Rivals with a lot at stake. Prestonsburg has looked vulnerable against the run between the tackles lately which figures in the Bobcats favor. With that, I have not seen Coach Hager fail to make the necessary adjustments. I think the Blackcats by 7.

Betsy Layne 38-33

Hard to beat a team multiple times in one year, especially when its your cross town rival that is pretty evenly matched. 

I'll take the Bobcats in this round

BL 44
Pburg 36
