I think they can be better than last year

[CLEAN-UP HITTER]

Doubt it

[tb15]

Prestonsburg will be average at best!  They declined about $10,000 from Big Sandy RECC to play JCHS this season in the Touchtone Energy Bowl and that is fact believe it or not! 

[BelfryJustice]

I look for them to be better, but they have a great deal of work to do to get back to the level they were.Â* I see them as a 2 or 3 seed this year.

1st seed Belfry
2nd seed Sheldon Clark or P-burg
4th seed Shelby Valley

[Boondock Saint]

I believe they will be better than last year, they didn't have enough senior leadership last year, and i dont see that being a problem this year. They're working alot harder than last year, because none of the seniors this year want a repeat of last year.

[blackcat]

Don't expect them to be better than last year.  They lost all of their top players, which will be hard to make up for.  They should finish the season about 6-6.

Are you serious? Wow $10,000.......why didn't they play JC?

[chicken wing]

wow...thats a lot of money

[The X]

turning down that kind of deal seems rather farfetched

[tb15]

Farfetched as it may sound it is true!  That is a fact jack!  I don't care what anyone has to say about it!  That is the way it went down point blank.

[blackcat]

This has nothing to do with what kind of team Prestonsburg is going to have next year.

[Battle Tested]

johnson county must have the blackcats running scared. or it could be a scheduling conflict.

[BlackcatAlum]

Prestonsburg cannot afford to have a skill positioned player to get hurt, But Prestonsburg pulls in alot I mean Alot of money from the fundraising thats done a Court Street Bingo !

[Basketballer]

Did Blake Meade leave Pburg? Im pretty sure he did

[BlackcatAlum]

Yeah he went back to Allen Central

Did any of them get any quality playing time last year. I know that they lost some great players.

Money isn't going to make the cats #1, a miracle might.lol:moon:

P'burg may not be better on paper than they were last year, but teams like P'burg don't stay down for very long. They will be one of the top 3 teams in the district as they always are. Belfry will be the clear cut favorite and rightfully so. SC and P'burg will battle for a home playoff game and it will be in the Blackcats back yard. I expect them to finish third behind the Pond Creek Nation and my Cardinals, but neither of these teams should over look the Blackcats or they could find themselves on the wrong end of an upset.

[The_Sheriff]

Prestonsburg had a better team last year. And thats not saying much, i think they started off like 0-5 or something, but they turned it around at the end of the year thanks to shafer, big daddy hamitlon, peters and the other great seniors they lost. NO shot of P'burg having a better year. Good luck though

[blackcat]

Exactly.

[Battle Tested]

they are going to dress in black and red and not be nearly as good as teams in the past. but i realy hope they do well, they are a good bunch of kids.

[BurntTires]

They will be about the same as last year.

[clubber_layne]

id say they will be #2 seed

[blackcatsuperfan]

I believe that P-Burg will have the heart and desire to win this season. Work hard boys and the fans will be there with you all the way.

[fred_blackcat53]

prestonsburg is going to be better than last year.. the football team has been working very hard in the off season, and the football team is making some very big improvements ...but this year prestonsburg will have good leadership, with most all of the senior players going to school together thier whole life. last year prestonsburg didnt have that, thier senior roster was divided between schools, such as east ridge, paintsville, adams, pikeville, betsy layne, allen, and for a while, allen central..but i think that everyone that has said prestonsburg has no hope is in for a good surprise:Thumbs:

[schs_football]

I cant wait until the SC and P-burg game.

[BCF4L]

I think Prestonsburg will be too small to do anything. Their line is small and inexperienced. Their receiver (Maines?) is only like 5 foot. This just isn't winning material.

[Pirate Pal]

Isn't Wes Woods a receiver also?

[BurntTires]

He's a tight end.

[blackcat]

The Derossett's need to get it together. Something has to be done with the program. I heard they only had about 30 players total.

[BlackcatAlum]

30 players I knew it wasn't alot but thats low ! They need to quit running players off, They need to be better to there players they made the whole Football team play on the Wrestling team ! Now they need to give these players a break over the winter and let them be students.

Now they need to give these players a break over the winter and let them be students.I think they should run the DeRossetts off. It's not like they had anything to do with Prestonsburg's past success. If you put Barry Sanders, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, and a core of all-world players on a team, then the coach doesn't mean anything. That's what Prestonsburg went thru from 2000-2003. After that, the talent level started going down and here we are now. The DeRossetts were made to look outstanding just by the outstanding players they had. Good coaches don't rebuild, they reload. Take Haywood for instance. Look at what they have lost in the past 2 years but they are still contenders year in and year out. Just not happening in P-town.

[Tough Turf]

I wonder what they have done to these players to make them change schools? Million dollar question $$$$$$:novb: :novb:

[blackcatjt]

Wait for the season and watch how p-burg does before you comment on their playing and coaching abilities. p-burg may surprise a few pple out there.

Yeah, what kind of plays are they gonna run this year a power I toss and a shotgun running play, they run the same plays every year, Belfry runs the same playbook every year I can sit in the stands and almost predict what there gonna run and 2 out of 3 times. And no one can still stop the wishbone! We need a new style of offense, We have a great quarter back, running back and a few good linemen, but we have no size or a whole lot of strength. We will not be able to pound the ball down the field any this season except for a few teams.
I have nothing against anyone on this team or anyone that has anything to do with this team, We just need to get things together and mix up the plays more than we have in the past !

[blackcat]

Prestonsburg was the second best team in the state from 2000-2004 every year. They just didn't have what it took to get over the hump.

[Mrs.BurntTires]

Maybe there is some great new motivtion for them and they will have a great season (and this may be tough for them)... But I don't think any opponents should EVER underestimate a team...It could leave them vulnerable. But at the same time... I'm keeping the faith for my team..lol
