Prestonsburg 26

Breathitt Co 25

I didnt have them picked, but nice win for Pburg.

Congratulations Blackcats:thumb:

Wasn't able to make the game (don't ask - terrible last 24 hrs), but heard every play on WQHY...

 

Basically...

 

Breathitt Co.'s Fugate and Haddix went wild 1st half, accruing something on the order of 300 yds.

 

2nd half, they were fenced in (what a defensive adjustment by P-burg's staff !!), gaining around 1/3 of that for the remainder.

 

For Prestonsburg, QB Michael Burchett hit open spots in the Bobcat zone spreading out the ball. In the 2nd half, that happened again, again, and again. Very cool customer, he was.

 

Point of highest drama: Breathitt Co. with 25-20 lead, 4th and 1 at midfield, 3:30 remaining. Coach Holcomb tried to ice it, going for the 1st down. Haddix mishandles the snap - Prestonsburg recovers. The Blackcats methodically pass it short downfield for the winning TD. With 1:30 remaining, Breathitt Co.'s final drive was stopped by a Burchett INT on a bomb attempt at the 5.

 

I must compliment this absolute gutsy performance by Prestonsburg. The Blackcats were down 25-7 early in the 3rd. There was no quit as evidenced by the outcome. Even if P-burg had come up on the short end, what a gut check this team passed tonight !!

 

 

:ylsuper: :ylsuper:

WOW. BC dropping the ball so far.

Why would you say that ? Prestonsburg won this game last year, also. This outcome isn't too much of an upset, especially for early in the season.

 

The Bobcats WILL make noise in 3A this year. Mark my words.

WOW Great job Blackcats!!!!!!

Sounds like one of those games we all wish to see occasionally. To good programns knocking heads.

Must have been one great game. Congrats P-burg.

Sounds like a great game. Burchette is a heck of a ball player!

Congrats P-burg. A couple of big wins early for the Blackcats.

Blame the BHS coaches for this loss. By using all of Breathitt's timeouts early in the first half, an unstoppable scoring situation was stopped by time running out. With the ball sitting almost in the Black Cats' end zone and BHS first down and goal, time ran out. Breathitt could not call a timeout because they did not save one for just such an opportunity. Is this going to be the year of the "hard luck" Bobcats?

I listened to the last of the game on the radio. Didn't Burchett intercept BC and the Blackcats just take a knee one or two times?

At the end of the 1st half, Breathitt Co. was driving after an INT. They ran out of time at the end of the half before they could punch it in.

 

The end of the game was P-burg taking a knee after INT of a Haddix "Hail Mary".

 

Both of you have it right.

I thought he was referring to the END of the game. As I mentioned, I just listened to the last of the game.

 

Thanks for clarifying things. I hoped someone would confirm or correct.
