What is valley's record now. I read some where they were undefeated, but i thought they lost to matewan.

Yeah their schedule was a little weak this year but thats not why they had their success. Some where these kids lost their fire. They came out flat and stayed flat the entire game. Even the OT play was without intensity. I would have to say that SC was more physical and laid several hard hits. Some of the hits you would think would pump a team up but some how it didn't. There were also flags every where. They went both ways but you could see it feeding Pburg. SC didn't show one emotion.

Sheldon Clark almost always feilds 300lb lineman. But they aren't gaining the weight to be on the line. They are just some big boys. Most of SC's Lineman are encouraged to wrestle. Which is definately not for someone trying to "bulk up". But it does make them more agile and gives them better stamina and power.

The only time i can remember Pburg winning was 2001. This has been driving my nuts all day. When was the other win?

Did prestonsburg win the 2003 game?

Does anyone know the record between SC vs Pburg for this decade (2000s).

Prestonsburg just could not cover the kick off. I think this is probally the best Pburg has looked all year though. They had a few passes fall short. If they could have made it down feild this game could have been interesting. In all honesty i wasn't that impressed with Ashland. They are going to have alot of trouble out of JC this year. JC would probally name the score on the team i watched tonight.

Prestonsburg needs to pull together in practice tomorrow and get some fire in their bellies! Go Blackcats!

I will mention this again. Belfry a 2a powerhouse was a power house when they played 3a. Sheldon Clark a very competitve team year in year out in 2a had alot of success in 3a. They oboviously was not dominated by the "far superior" ,larger 3a schools. And this was not that long ago they played 3a.

Belfry and Sheldon Clark are both 2a teams that competed very sucessfully in 3a football. Even Sheldon Clark with the limited numbers and limited finances, especially compared to most 3a schools, had a great deal of success in 3a.

I have to say i like Pikeville's offense. Prestonsburg look much improved over last week but could not contain pikevilles backs. Number 24 looked great. The quaterback looked very settled in there as well.

Money is one reason. Two it would get them ready to play a team like belfry. JC is a team that will put the ball on the ground and eat up alot of clock. I would say replace the first game with JC.

I would love to see this match up. But I would rather see a local match up. I could see a big rival game developing between JC and Pburg.

I think it depends on how much they play Dials. I expect them to rest him as much as they can. SC 45 KC 7 with Hager giving his offense an early night.

Alot of mistakes on both sides of the ball by both squads. You can deffinately tell this was Pburgs first game of the season. I think you will tell a hugh difference next week. Leslie Co really opened up their offense when they moved #3 from QB to RB. Anyone know how many yards he had?

SC will be to much for BC. They have two big running backs that really keep their feet moving. You will see them both break alot of takles. I actaully can't wait to see how the passing game will turn out. Bad weather prevented them from throwing the ball against LC. SC might really open up their offense in this one. I would say Hager will have a couple wholes fixed on defense. SC 42 BC 27

Better season? So are you saying SC will have a better season than last year? That means a region Championship over belfry. I believe you may be right.

Dials had a great game, but so did Kelley. Seemed for a while Hager was running them every other play. BJ looked very good at FB, like he had played it for years.

LC had a kid that could run the ball very well. SC had some problems on defense. There for a while it looked like who ever had last possesion was going to win but then SC really turned it on. This might be one of the best back feilds SC has had in a while. It might even be one of the best back feilds in the mountains this year.

Sheldon CLark has a good back feild and a strong line. The Dials kid ran for 1600 yards last year and didn't even start the first couple games. Kelley will get his hands on the ball quite a bit now that they moved him to HB from FB. Sheldon Clarks biggest loss was on defense. But after seeing LC I will take SCHS 28-12.

No, just this past season

Didn't Ashland beat Marshall at the beginning of their program?

I think one of Prestonsburgs strongest players is the kicker Seth Moore. 455lb deadlift at a body weight of around 165lbs. New USPF state record for his age. I think they may want to try this kid at a few other postions this year.

It was Brad Slone who set a new high school record. He did 405. Then tried for 425 on his second attempt but missed it. Still an impressive lift.
