Good Luck to Russell. I should be rooting for the local team but I've known Philip Haywoods family all my life. His mother and mine were very good friends and co-teachers. I think Belfry will win this because of the home advantage. Hope for a good game and injury free for both sides.

I believe he started in Prestonsburg in 1960, he was at Wayland and taught King Kelly Coleman and then moved to Virginia for a couple of years. I've always loved Prestonsburg, we lived in Maytown and then I graduated from Allen Central in the first class in 1973.

Congratulations Prestonsburg. My very first football game was when my dad, a teacher at PHS took me to Prestonsburg vs. Russell approx 1962 or 1963.

When I saw this post, I had to say something concerning the other teams that has played at Greenup County. The measure of a man is determined whether he continues on after the "failures", how he continues on. Both of my sons played football at Greenup, the oldest son graduated in 2007 and the youngest in 2009. These were not good seasons, with new head coaches, new athletic directors, new administration and many other "new" things going on. I am very proud of my two sons, they never quit, walked off the field, threatened to quit, or as far as I know disrespectful to any coach. They loved football, they weren't the stars of the team, they just wanted to play and they did play. Now one is a senior at Morehead State, a geology major and tells us he has plans to join the Navy and become an officer, the youngest is a Sophomore at Ashland Community College and wants to be a Special Ed teacher and football coach. They took something from those "bad" seasons and learned from that and they still are proud of being a Greenup Musketeer, they were thankful for the opportunity that was given to them. I love football but it still is a game and I'm glad my sons took the lessons they learned from football. Now to the original question, was this a disappointing year, maybe but ask any mom or dad in the stand they will tell you it was a great season to see their son play football for their home team. This probably sounds "corny" and "stupid" to some of the die hard fans but sometimes you need to step back and be thrilled that you have healthy sons that can play football, some parents are not that lucky.

An excellent article on Lyle in the Ashland Paper today, I don't know how to post the article but it was very good. Good luck on Friday night, I've got to admit that last game at Mason County or them at GCHS is one thing I don't miss being involved with GCHS football.

Congratulations Musketeers, we are very proud of you and all you have accomplished and it is just the beginning. A very proud former Musketter Mom of 2 former football players that both shouted when they found out that GCHS beat Russell.

I believe this will be Greenups year to win. Good luck Musketeers.

Got mine, this morning and started to buy 2, the lady at the store reminded me that both boys have graduated and I don't need one for scrapbooking, oh well. LOL

He has supported many of the students of GCHS, he has supported my son through his senior year and even during his Freshman year in college. I appreciate him and all that he has done.

Very good article on QB Rister in Wednesday, Ashland Ind. Newspaper. Hope all goes well for the Musketeers this year. Good Luck

I didn't get to go last night to the banquet and I'm sorry but I did see pictures and Coupon21's shirt looked a little tighter after the meal than before the meal. LOL :laugh::laugh: :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

Congratulations Blackcats. :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

Congratulations Blackcats, what a great time to be a Blackcat or a Blackcat fan. My very first football game was seeing the Prestonsburg Blackcats play, my father was a teacher there. :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

Congratulations Ram on the Win, Good Luck next week.

Congratulations - maybe blondes do have more fun. LOL :clap:
