Bobcats roll up 583 yards of offense.

 

Will Collins had 259 total yards and 2 TD (13 rush, 165 yds, TD; 5 rec, 94 yds, TD).

 

QB Richard Trent had 132 yards and a TD on 17 carries. He also threw for somewhere around 200 yards and a 2 TD.

 

Cody Pritchard had 99 yards and a TD on 10 carries.

 

Josh Fletcher had 2 receptions for 47 yards and 2 TD's.

 

So far so good for the Bobcats. Hope they can keep it up.

Not shocked at the win as much as by the score. After beating Belfry I thought P'burg would give Breathitt a good game. Seems as if Breathitt may be ahead of Belfry right now, early in the season. I know I know comparable scores don't always tell the story but just making a point that Breathitt seems to be ahead at this point in 3A in the mountians.

Breahitt Co. has a much more balanced offensive attack this year and doesnt rely as heavily on one or two players. They could become a very dangerous team come playoff time.

Looks like it...too predictable last year in the playoffs... could be dangerous this year

I don't think most people were expecting much from the Bobcats after a disappointing 7-6 2009 season, and the departures of offensive leaders, Channing Fugate and Jade Haddix.

 

What people will find out is Richard Trent is an upgrade at the QB position, and the leader of a pretty talented sophomore class for BC. Josh Fletcher looks to be playing with more consistency at the WR position.

 

There's no RB on the level of Fugate, but as you say, the offense features more balance. It's possible that the team relied too heavily on Haddix and Fugate last season and didn't fully utilize its potential. With those two gone, others have the opportunity and are stepping up early in the season.

 

One final point, I think this team might be a little scrappier and hard nosed. Those are two qualities that are never a bad thing for a football team.

WOW! What a score!

Agreed. Obviously Breathitt County is never a bad team, but I thought they might be rebuilding a bit this year. Looks like I was dead wrong!

This is one of those times where all you can say is...Breathitt Co. plain and simply whipped P-burg all over the field.

 

Very good performance by the Bobcats !!

Three straight road games for a young Blackcats squad is tough to handle, too. Not making excuses, but it's hard to go to a place like Breathitt and win. Prestonsburg seems ahead of the curve this year, though. I suspect they are capable of a deep run. Maybe even semifinals again.

Love seeing B.C. win even though I did not pick them.
