Prestonsburg will have to travel to Louisville for there Regional Championship game versus DeSales (Game will be played at DuPont Manuel High School). Prestonsburg is coming off of a 38-0 victory over Shelby Valley and DeSales is coming off of a 24-14 victory over Christian Academy. Don't know much about this team but when I find out I'll post my prediction. GO BLACKCATS!!!!

How stupid is this new setup, P-burg travels to LOUISVILLE for the regional championship!!!!!!! Ive never been one to criticize the KHSAA but come on people, how smart does this seem.

[BelfryPirates]

Thats Crazy. But still, even with a 4-hour bus ride, P-burg picks up the win.

[Pirates~R~Us]

Lets Go Cats!

[Uncle Buck]

I'm going with Pburg in this one. DeSales is a pretty decent football team, but I think the Blackcats can come out with a convincing win. To get to Manual Stadium you take exit 133B off of I-65 onto Eastern Parkway(University of Louisville/JB Speed Museum exit). The easiest way to get onto 65 would probably be to take Waterson Expressway West off of I-64 down to exit 12(Indianapolis-Downtown Louisville) and it mergest right onto I-65. As soon as you get off the exit ramp take a right then another immediate right. Go straight to the red light, you will see a Denny's ahead. Take a left at the light. Then take a left on Pindell or Burnett Avenue. Prestonsburg fans will be in for a treat playing at one of the most historic high school fields in the state of Kentucky.

Good Luck Boys, All of us are behind you.Let's go show those western Ky city boys just how tough an east ky country team is to beat.

[Playboy5]

I am going to go with DeSales as they have too much team speed IMO. I am rooting for you BlackCats!!!!

[BelfryPride]

My heart says P'burg.....but my head says too much DeSales in Louisville

[BlackatMom]

Just wondering if anyone had any stats on Desales

[The Coach]

I think it will be a good game and P'burg will win

From the looks of there stats its seems to me that they run a wishbone type offense, they also seem do have almost the exact kind of stats we do.

I don't know much about Desales, but I don't see any impressive wins and a few questionable losses.

Prestonsburg - 28
Desales - 14

I've looked at all of DeSales stats and it seems to me like they love to run the ball and that favors Prestonsburg quick and strong defense, and I don't think our offense will move the ball easily so IMO, its going to be a dog fight, but the Blackcats cannot afford to have these stupid penalties on them and I'm sure the Derossett's will make sure that they don't do that. My heart and head tells me that the Blackcats take care of business in this one. GO BLACKCATS!

Prestonsburg- 21
DeSales- 07

[15thRegionCrazy]

Good Luck Blackcats!!

[Blackcatmom1]

So far I predict a win for the Blackcats

[BlackatMom]

I believe that the Blackcats will win if we don't make mental mistakes, keep our cool and our heads in the game. I believe we have the defense that can stop DeSales running or passing game. With Setser, Craynon, Clark and Mckinney along with our big guys on the line we can win this game and move on to semi-finals.

[Hellistheplacetobe]

This game will be a tough one for the blackcats having to travel to Louisville but I still think P-burg wins this game in usual fashion. P-burg is on a high after the last game so they should be ready for battle. Time to show DeSales what blackcat football is all about.

P-burg: 28
DeSales: 10

[EKUAlum05]

I just ask three things from the Pburg contingent:
1. Win the game and make EKY proud
2. Have a safe trip
3. Someone please eat at the Cheesecake Factory in St. Matthew's for me. Mmmmmmm I love that place.

[blackcatforever]

As long as Pburg doesnt give up and plays hard the whole game they'll win this one.
If Pburg loses it's not b/c Desales beat them.. it's b/c Pburg beat themselves.
Good luck guys, we all love you and are rooting for ya! make this the best year this little old town's ever seen!

[All-American Lineman]

Pburg

[Blackcat_Fan_#1]

Even though the Blackcats are going to Louisville for this game I still think they will win by at least a couple of touchdowns considering the momentum from the Shelby Valley game. My prediction:

Prestonsburg: 28
DeSales: 14

[BondJamesBond]

An eastern ky. team having to win a REGIONAl championship in Louisville ????? another good job by the KHSAA (LOL)

Anyway, go Blackcats !!

Im rooting for the Blackcats, but I think DeSales will be to much for them.

[BlackcatFootball]

Prestonsburg has played by far the tougher schedule, and leads the stats in all categories. Prestonsburg travels to Louisville coming off a win and will leave Louisville with a win, Were going to the state semis.

Cats-28
Colts-14

[clubber_layne]

Prestonsburg-17
DeSales-10
