Maybe the bobcats can get things going after a rough start.

Congrats Breathitt Co. Its been a frustrating season, but you can be fired-up about this win. Did BC make any changes in the QB spot?

[Blackshirts]

I am telling you all that the Bobcats will make a late season run. Congrats to Breathitt Co.

I still look for it to be Belfry or Breathitt Co. in the State title game. Breathitt beats the best Class A team in the mountains last week and a solid Estill Co. team this week. I believe that Estill Co. team gave Somerset some problems.

What about Mason Co? They seem to be on the right track.

Congratulations to Breathitt Co.

Estill didn't actually give Somerset problems, the field conditions were very muddy...Estill Co. scored the first 17 seconds of the game and again the last 17 seconds of the game. Lots of slipping and sliding everywhere. Don't get me wrong, Estill is young and improving every game but the Somerset team seems to be clicking at the right time. Best of luck to all the teams.

Conj: to Mike and the Bobcats, thay will make a run. IMO: It will be Breathitt or Belfry in the State Finals.

Good win for Breathitt and they seem to be getting the right things going now.

Somerset had problems that night, it's all a matter of opinion on whether Estill caused them, or Somerset caused them themselves. Somerset is a great team, but struggled to get going against the Engineers, honestly I can see both arguments, there were many short passes to the flats the Briar Jumpers dropped in the early going that rest square on their shoulders, the qb's accuracy was also a little shaky at first as well. Somerset's defense held the Engineers in check all night.

How do Breathitt and Somerset compare to each other based on how they played Estill? Sounds like the field conditions Friday were the same as they were when Estill played Somerset.

Breathitt moved the ball very well, 13-0 at half. I believe Estill opened with 4 or 5 plays followed by a punt, Breathitt took over and their drive lasted the length of the first quarter, and the score came with around 9 minutes remaining in the second quarter. The 2nd half the gains for the Bobcats got bigger and bigger, and their defense was stout all night. Somerset, as previously stated had some problems early on, some were caused by Estill, others were caused by themselves. I believe Somerset probably had more stalled drives than Breathitt, but their defense was equally as stout, the Engineers scored on the opening kickoff return, and again with seconds remaining in the game. It seemed as though Estill moved the ball a bit better on Somerset, but never could put a complete drive together. The biggest difference between the two games was time of possession, Estill only had 32 carries against Breathitt, whereas against Somerset the number was somewhere between 40 and 50. Breathitt only threw two passes down field all night, one was a solid completion, the other was a dropped TD pass, so not sure how well the passing game is for the Bobcats. It would be a great game between these two, Somerset should be able to move the ball fairly well against Breathitt, on the flipside Somerset seemed to have a pretty stout run defense, should make for a good game.

The field was in worse shape against the Bobcats than it was against the Briar Jumpers, just based on the other activities that have taken place at the field since the Somerset game.

All great points…I guess what I was trying to say is that Somerset dropped several balls that normally would have been caught. At least 2 would have led to scores. Both were early and seemed to have rattled their rhythm a little and led to some of the so called stalls mentioned above. Both receivers have great hands and normally make the plays. Not making excuses or anything, I just thought we caused some of our own problems versus Estill causing them.

But you are correct; good chance the field conditions may be ugly the rest of the year. :thumb::idunno:
