Are you serious. I don't think anyone that has followed Breathitt over the last 10-15 years will ever question Holcombs class. I watched the whole game and Boyd had the same players in for the whole game. Why don't you show a little class and give credit where it is due. These young kids are practicing hard everyday to try and live up to the tradition and expectations that Breathitt County football has come to expect every year. Good luck to Boyd on the rest of their upcoming season.:thumb:

Breathitt finally played with a liitle heart and emotion. I thought they played with very little energy up to this point. I definatley think the talent is there. Question is, will they be able to get it out of these youngsters? The passing game is still struggeling with all the young inexperienced receivers and new QB. I do think that they are slowly learning their routes and as the season goes along you will see this group step up and help out Haddix. Good win, now bring on District play.

I feel like this could and should be a very close game. Breathitt has started out with 2 very tough opponents in JC and Prestonsburg. The problem with Breathitt has not been talent, it's been experience. They have been unable to get much of a passing game going with a new QB and only 1 of their top 5 receivers returning from last year. They have the players, they just havn't performed to their abilities to this point. I look for them to get things rolling within the next couple weeks and be a strong team come playoff time.

I look forward to making the trip to Prestonsburg this year. This will be the first time we have played on their new field. I know it has to be better that their old one. There has always been some good games beetween the two. I look for this to be a high scoring game with the winner commong out with a 10 point or less win. Breathitt 34 Prestonsburg 28

Breathitt definatley has the weapons to be a better team by season's end. There problem is that they just can't seem to get any quality stud's in the trenches. It seems that we always have trouble fielding a quality line on both sides. We are just too small to be able to shut down a power running game. i agree with 5Wide, we have the players to be better as the season goes on, they just have to get better and have a little more experience. We missed to many scoring oppurtunities in our last game. We just wasn't very focused on offense.

Breathitt will have all of their players for this game with the exception of the ones that are hurt or either out for the year. They didn't have any suspended for this week's game. I think that this will be a high scoring game. Look for it to be a touchdown or less for either team.

This will be 3 full quarters with the JV taking over in the 4th. I woulld like to know what Letcher has coming back this year.

Should be a pretty good scrimmage for both teams. I know that Letcher has fielded a pretty solid squad the last 2 years. What's your thoughts on this scrimmage.

I thought that Breathitt looked really good considering that they had 5 starters out of the game. Some of those played both ways. For starters, I thought that the passing game is going to be much better with Jade at the helm. I just think that he brings alot more to the table with his quickness and he has a much stronger arm. I think that we will be much more improved on offense and defense this year. Line play is the only question I see. They have some more beef up front but they are extremely young and inexperienced.

What is everyone's thoughts about this scrimmage this Friday.

I to beleive that Jarod would have been a big difference on the line this year. I am friends of Jarod's family and I can say that this young man works as hard as anyone. I assure you that he will come back and be better than ever. I think that he could be a player that ressembles the type of play that Brad Allen played for us a couple of years ago. Concerning dakota, he has been injured and has just been cleared to play.

Losing Jarod is definatley a big hit. He is the strongest player on the team. I was looking forward to seeing him progress on the field this year. He has the makings to be a good one. I knew that he went down a week or so ago but didn't know that it was of this severity.

Thank you. I had planned to drive to Letcher Central this Friday to watc Breathitt schrimmage up there. This will definatley work out for the better. Does anyone know what Leslie returns this year.

I have been hearing that Breathitt will be schrimaging Leslie County at home this Friday. Has anyone been able to confirm this? If so, what time does it start?

They seemed to have right around 40-45 players. I watched the passing game the other day during an intersquad schrimmage and it seemed to be great. Jade can make all of the throws and definatley has a stronger arm for the crossing patterns and deep throws. I think that you will see that he will be one of the best running QB's we have had since his brother. He is not as stong in running style but definatley is faster. With the addition of Nick and Dakota and Ryan Allen they should have a solid receiving core to throw to. This should be the most balanced attack you will see out of Breathitt. As far as line play. They are still young, but add more beef than what they had last year. This is my only concern for this team.
