Sources? I haven't seen anything official about this...other than rumors. Has Holcomb confirmed?

What does Breathitt return? Who's his assistants?

The new head coach at Breathitt Co., whoever that is. Big expectations, big shoes to fill with Holcomb's departure.

Not really. How about spring football, that just so happens to pop up during baseball season? Some coaches make it "mandatory" for baseball players to attend, therefore taking even more practice/game time from the baseball season. Hey, I'm for kids playing whatever and as many sports as they want. I just think somebody (KHSAA) needs to do a better job of balancing their seasons.

I thought Hazard wasn't going to play any Perry Co. schools (PCC OR Buckhorn).

I think Fugate will have a good shot at Mr. Football. He's definitely got the talent. Now, he's starting to get the publicity/exposure that most mountain kids don't ever get. Playing this week in L'ville will only enhance the hype, especially if he has a good game. Hopefully, this will let everyone see what we already know: There's a lot of talent in Eastern Ky. Good luck to Breathitt, Bell and Hazard.

I'm glad you brought up the TEAM aspect. It would be so easy to get on here now and really "rub it in" on the Belfry fans. But not all Bobcat fans are like that. Fugate is the real deal, but I think fans saw tonight, this is not a "one man team." Breathitt's win was a great TEAM effort. Congrats to Belfry on a fine season. You all have a great program. So does Breathitt.

Solutions: 1. Limit the number of teams in the playoffs 2. Eliminate the bye week

How many yards for Fugate tonight?

Question: IF either team is forced into passing the ball, who has the best air attack?

Estill's had a fine season. But I think their weak non-district schedule gives Breathitt the advantage. Estill loaded up with teams like Pineville, Berea, Phelps, Knott, Bourbon, while Breathitt played JC, P'burg, and LCA. I know some of Estill's opponents had good seasons, but they weren't the calibur teams Breathitt played. Breathitt did the same thing last year, playing a weak schedule, and it cost them. Good luck to both teams. I don't think this one will be 7-6.

I happen to like the Ohio system. I also like the neutral sites for games after the first round. It sure helps cut down on on travel difficulties and teams usually wind up playing at some pretty nice venues. How many hours do you think CovCath (and now Highlands) will spend on a bus to JC? MSU would have been a nice meeting place!

I agree, NC. You're letting your Ohio playoff knowledge/bias show a little. Which doesn't seem too popular on here.LOL

How many Mr. Football winners have come from the mountains?

Fugate from Breathitt Co.
