Prestonsburg 24 Sheldon Clark 19

[oneijoe]

7 to 7 defensive struggle until the final few mins. of the 3rd qtr. Prestonsburg drives a long field on the arm and legs of Michael Burchett to go up 14-7.

 

In the 4th quarter, the fireworks began. Prestonsburg intercepted a screen pass and took it in to go up 21-7. Sheldon Clark then with a pretty drive, mixing the pass and run to close to 21-13.

 

Prestonsburg once again drives deep into Cardinal territory, coming away with a 32 yd. Jamerson FG (P-burg 24-13). Sheldon Clark runs the ensuing KO back for a 93 yd. TD. Sheldon Clark called for movement on the 2pt try, and also get backed up 15 more for arguing the call (SC QB lost his cool) - the try ends up no good.

 

Prestonsburg was moving the ball on the ground to ice the clock, but fumbled on the Sheldon Clark 40. With less than 1 min. to play, Prestonsburg intercepts around midfield. P-burg downed the ball to run out the clock.

 

Very entertaining football game !!!

Final.

Winning at Sheldon Clark is very difficult. Prestonsburg seems to be the real deal.

[Wireman]

Prestonsburg has returned to the mid-90's on us. They are back in a big way.

Agreed, they are good. But they've been regional finalists two years in a row, and three times in the last five years. They haven't exactly been a dead program. But you are correct, Wireman, they seem to be a state contender now. Much like the mid-90s!

Regional contenders is one thing. State contenders is a little different :thumb:

 

They are getting back to that level, it seems.

Well said. There is a big difference.

 

Prestonsburg would get Corbin at home in a regional final this year and would have to go to either northern Kentucky (Newport Catholic) or Louisville (DeSales) for a state semifinal, if they are fortunate enough to get there. But there's a looooooooong way to go.

Good game, I enjoyed it even in the rain. I might be able to provide a few more details if I hadn't sat with oneijoe. I swear, I spent half the night explaining to him what the teams were doing on the field.

2 very good football teams that are both very well coached! They will both be a tough out in the playoffs. Amazing what Pburg has done with talent that graduated last year. You have to tip your hat to those kids that came back with a chip on their shoulder. Burchette the QB at Pburg is one of the better in the state.

SC has a very physical team too. Really anxious to see them and Belfry hook up. All three of those teams are playing great ball.

Uhhhh.... And here I thought Toots keeping me up on the game was his way of apologizing for where he made me sit - between a band of hoodlums (escorted from the game, btw) and a very stinky creek. I really didn't want to expose my head.

I figured the defense would be pretty good, but the coaching staff has done a superb job in matching the offense style to its personel. Burchett has been doing an excellent job in taking what defenses are giving.

 

This team is a rarity among EKY teams in that it really has no true running back. Rather, it puts its athletes at the wings and wideouts and plays with speed.

 

And yes, the Belfry/Sheldon Clark game ought to be a GOOD one. :thumb:

That is for other people to say, but I think P-burg doing great things right now.

[Commander 25]

Looked like a hard fought game by both teams. Congrats to P-burg.

You knew this one would be a tough matchup. Both teams are very solid. Congratulations to Prestonsburg, though. It's really hard to go to Sheldon Clark and win.

Congrats to P-Burg on hard fought win.

 

Later.
