[Bull got out!]

Prestonsburg vs Betsy Layne. Thoughts?

[TE#82]

pburg first real test. betsy lane wind 35-14. i hope im wrong though

[Cards98]

I’m predicting Betsy Layne and their weak schedule will be exposed here. You can sit high with RPI and a undefeated record when you play a cupcake schedule.

[Blacksmith]

If BL plays like they did against Floyd central they will get beat by two scores... Mccutcheon is a great player but can he carry the whole team against a decent team?

it’s an easy schedule but it is still harder than betsy laynes

[SlickRick]

I wonder which coach will lose their cool first in this one, I'm sure the theatrics will be better than what the game will be.

thats possible, BL had fans escorted out by deputy's last game..

[-STAT-]

I know the Pburg faithful have had this one circled on their calendars for a long time now. I said in a previous post that I will never be a Pburg fan, but my daughter is a cheerleader, so I've been to all but 2 games, so I am there to support her just to clear that up, although it makes football in this area a lot more fun when the Blackcats are having success.

This may be a close game right down to whichever team has the ball last, it may be a running clock, who knows. One thing we can count on is it being a damn war. Not many football games (if any at all) in Floyd Co. have had the hype surrounding this one, atmosphere will definitely be off the charts. Not only the teams on the field, but drama surrounding it as well, as former Pburg players now playing for Betsy Layne. It's going to be wild at the Burg this Friday.

After all that, I am predicting a Pburg win and them defending their home field, keeping their undefeated season alive.

Prestonsburg- 36
Betsy Layne- 30

I'm not going to say Betsy Layne has had a hard schedule, but who have the Blackcats played?

Don't know that anyone ever got escorted out. Wasn't sitting too far from the situation, also nobody was too sure who the "fan" was. I would have to say the Betsy Layne coaching staff stayed pretty calm on Friday night all things considered that went down in the FC-BL Flag Fest.

sorry, could have swore that's what the announcers said as I was watching on tv.. that the refs finally had enough and had the deputy's tell the fans leave the stands.. Maybe they thought that was what was happening?

There was a fan that was upset and had no excuse for how he was acting, he walked down out of the stands but didn't look too bad, definitely have seen much worse though. Maybe they could see something I couldn't. I will say with the way that game was called (both ways), it is a miracle it didn't get very ugly. I hate to ever call out officiating, but Friday night was rough and Coach Hager and Coach Jarrell both had every right in the world to be upset with that one.

I am hoping and praying the officials keep it all under control in Pburg this Friday because the same exact thing could happen this week if they're not careful. Totally let that one get out of control from all angles.

[plantmanky]

Pburg get a win this week, coach might earn 3 weeks off in June.

[Patriot1]

Can’t make up my mind on this one if I am going to be for the Betsy Layne black cats or the Prestonburg Blackcats

[Blue_Bird96]

P Burg gets a hard fought W and keeps it rolling

[BlackcatAlum]

Should be a good game.

Go Blackcats!

[hawg laig]

The Blackcats seem to be improving every week. Line play is better, backs and receivers are a little more crisp and precise with cuts and patterns; it just looks better. That’s all a coach and fans could ask for. The Bobcats as of late have shown a tendency to play to their level of competition, and make a lot of errors (penalties), mostly out of boredom. They have been three touchdowns better than anyone they’ve played but did just enough to win. That attitude will catch up with them this week. I predict the Blackcats by 14 with multiple game expulsions. “Make Floyd Hate Again”

What's the All-Time Win/Loss record between these two schools?

[Colonel4Life1999]

What's the All-Time Win/Loss record between these two schools?

Considering Betsy Layne's 2 wins last year were their first in 30+ years, very very lopsided I'd have to assume. Lol

That's the exact point I'm making....

With this being In-County rivalry game, the W/L record should be well known, regardless of how lopsided it may be.

Prestonsburg leads 29-3 if my calculations are correct.

[FballFan67]

I don't know enough about each team to make a solid pick. But I like these in county rivalries and I think the atmosphere at this game will be electric to say the least. Anyone know if wprg or someone will be live for this one?

[Blackcat 4 Life]

To me, this should be one of the best, if not the best game in the mountains and even the state. Not only are both teams 5-0, but both have young and up and coming coaches who both played at Prestonsburg. On top of that, you have three or four kids who transferred from Prestonsburg to Betsy Layne this year, who play significant roles. I might add, one of the players messages Hager on a regular basis, with a countdown clock set to this Friday night. This has been going on since before the season started and as childish as it is, it only adds fuel to the fire. Last but not least, you have two fanbases who are hungry, and want nothing more than to beat their cross county rivals.

When I look at this game, I feel like the team who can be the most disciplined, will leave Josh Francis Field with a win. As of late, Prestonsburg has cleaned up a lot of early season miscues and Hager has these boys confident and prepared. The offense is starting to find it's identity, and the ability to throw the ball has brought on a different dynamic. Prestonsburg has more playmakers than Betsy Layne, and if they are going to win this game, they have to utilize all three in different ways. Harris, Elliott, and Patton have been a nightmare to opposing defenses, and I don't look for that to change against the Bobcats. They all bring a little something to the table and if Holbrook continues to improve, watch out! Betsy Layne may very well have the advantage up front, but Betsy Layne's offense has been predictable over the first five games. I don't think Jarrell has showed his hand, because with their schedule, he hasn't had to. If Prestonsburg can keep McCutcheon in check, I like their chances, but if they allow him to have a big game like he's capable of having, they could be in trouble. Parsons is a solid duel threat Quarterback who can hurt you in multiple ways. His arm worries me a little more than his legs this game, due to Blackcats inability to consistently defend the pass. They have shown improvements, but it's still a concern. I think both defense's have been impressive early on and they both seem to fly to the ball and have a bend but don't break mentality. Betsy Layne has shown they can be undisciplined and commit some silly penalties, which could really hurt them this game if they aren't cleaned up. It's going to be an emotional game, so I expect a few penalties on both sides. Hopefully, the officiating crew gets control of the game early, and we all get to enjoy a good clean football game. This game could go either way, but I look for Prestonsburg's discipline to win out in the end. Hail Blackcats!

Prestonsburg - 34
Betsy Layne -28

[barnburner]

All Prestonsburg has to do is stop BL’s Rb, as easy as it is to say, it will be tough for the Blackcats, the emotions will be high and I have more faith in Prestonsburg staying calm then BL with their ridiculous penalties this year.

Prestonsburg- 30
BL- 22

[Walkitlikeitalkit]

I am taking BL in this match up . I think pound for pound they are just the better and tougher team.

BL by a TD

[Tailback44]

This game should be a dandy. Probably the game of the week in the mountains. Give me BL by a score.

[SlickRick]

We know that Jarredd was the better athlete and QB for Prestonsburg now we get to see which of the two is the better coach this Friday night.
