Weak schedule sure hurt Sayre too, didn't it?

If Pburg had multiple D1 players and a former NFL player as their HC, the schedule would be less important..

Or if they still ran the Gun-T offense. Right, bub?

[Jelly Roll]

Earlier in the tread someone said if Pikeville and Prestonsburg would have played at the end of the year it would have been a competitive game. All year if you go back through the threads you can see posts of touting the winning streak and ranking like they could play with anyone in 2A. That’s facts. Like I said hope they rebuild but they are a ways off from competing with even the better teams. In the east and not even talking about the rest of the state.

Still, no one from Prestonsburg is claiming anything outlandish. No one from Prestonsburg is predicting a state championship, that they'd beat Belfry or Pikeville, etc. 

I'll wait for you to find posts where anyone from Pburg claimed they could play with "anyone in 2A" as well...

Lastly, Pburg just competed in a close game with Somerset without their best player. Somerset went on and competed in a close game with Owensboro Catholic.


If you just don't want to give Prestonsburg their flowers, then that's fine. I could care less, but you're continuously making up claims that don't exist.

I did see someone say Pburg could play with Pikeville. I’m not sure who it was that said that though. If they were being serious, that’s one of the more ridiculous things i’ve heard on BGR.

The wing-t was the biggest problem with the program at Prestonsburg. An outdated offense that was too easy to defend. No matter what they did with it, it never mattered. Wasted talent of Harris and Elliott. 

The defense was solid but much like Kentucky Football this season if you can’t move the ball it will eventually break. It was definitely time to part ways with the offense.

I do agree that the wing-T is a garbage offense, but what makes you say the defense was solid? They gave up 40+ points 4 times in ‘23 with much more size than the ‘24 team had.

Other than one game, the offense didn’t move the ball in the games giving up 40.  If the opponent has the ball the whole game they’re going to score more points

Also, if all these transfers show up will the daddies be more accepting of them then the ones they ran off last summer? 

I have heard from one of the kids who transferred from Prestonsburg that there were multiple coaches and parents who made comments about him “not being from Prestonsburg” during the offseason weights with the new staff. 

This will have to change if they want to suddenly get the best players from surrounding schools to come to PHS.

I don’t buy that for one second. Clay Runyon transferred to Pburg from Paintsville at the end of the season last year and everyone, players, coaches, parents etc etc welcomed him with open arms and have treated him like he’s been a Blackcat his entire life. So if you heard a former player say that, I’m gonna say it’s not true.

Two kids who both ended up at the same school had similar stories. Might have been a coincidence but that’s what I’ve heard. A third player who was at that school who transferred at a different time also mentioned it.

might have been attempting to cause issues but I’ve heard it from multiple people and there’s a parent who continuously talks about winning with “Pburg kids” on Facebook/Twitter while running down the transfer culture. It’s out there.

Ever think It might have just been the kid and not the program?  I mean I don’t know what players your talking about but do they have a history of bouncing around? Have they transferred from anywhere else before  this time?

I would argue that the offense they ran this year was the reason why they had a solid season this year. They controlled the game with time of possession and hit big runs with their fast backs all year. You can win state championships running that offense. Look at belfry and Johnson central. 

Last year they tried running spread and was terrible with the same team. That offense saved pburg season plus the 3 games the officials helped in.

I think so too. It helped them play to their strength.  Also it’s tough to be too critical of a teams offense when they’re at the top of class 2A for rushing.

The burg will be tough as nails next season.

[TheTruth!]

The burg will be tough as nails next season.

I don’t know about all that. Losing dalton and Alex is a huge hit they was basically the whole team on the offensive side till kain patton showed up kids a player and on defensive side  Stumbo is a straight dawg. They will finish on whatever they get for games if hager doesn’t pancake it they will go 7-3 but if they get competitive I’d say somewhere 5-5 4-6

It won't be easy to replace both Elliott and Harris's production from this past season, but if you watched each of Pburg's games, they had others step up when called upon offensively in key moments of the game, including Kain Patton, Colin Hatfield, Drake Hatfield, and Bryce Holbrook. Brody Hicks and incoming freshman Christian Click will play roles in next years offense too. I don't doubt any of those guys abilities to lead Prestonsburg offensively next season. You add a transfer or two, just makes that offense and that much better.

I did see someone say Pburg could play with Pikeville. I’m not sure who it was that said that though. If they were being serious, that’s one of the more ridiculous things i’ve heard on BGR.

I said it, and I stand by it. I believe if both teams were playing each other in the 3rd round of the playoffs, Prestonsburg would have competed. Do I think they would have won, no I don't, but I think we play within around three scores. Pikeville wasn't the same team as they were earlier in the year. They had multiple injuries and Anthony was overworked and wore down by the end of the year. Pikeville wasn't any better than Somerset by the end of the year, in my opinion and Prestonsburg held their own with the Briar jumpers. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but the Breathitt game humbled these boys and they started playing with a chip on their shoulder after the trip to Jackson. Pikeville's schedule was too much for them this year, and the wear and tear showed by the end of the year. If Prestonsburg would have played Pikeville early in the year, I could see a running clock, but as I said earlier, the Panthers weren't the same team by November.

I agree and that's why y'all should drop Breathitt and play East Ridge week 11.

Let's not play Bath County. I'd prefer to never see Brandon Brewer again. I have nightmares of his bonehead decisions.

[TheTruth!]

Like too see Johnson Central and Pburg play

[jetpilot]

Why?

Does Prestonsburg play Belfry next year? If so that's when we see if they have a decent team or not.

Maybe in the 3rd round if both win their districts or the 2nd round if Pburg loses to Martin, but don’t forget that it took Mac 5 years to beat Belfry, and they didn’t even play them very closely the first 4 years if I remember correctly. These things take time, no program goes from broken to healed overnight. You just gotta keep trending upwards until you get to the top.
