I hate to say this about my former team but they dont have a chance. Especially if the line doesnt hold up i feel sorry for whats going to happen to BB and Brennan. I'll be a bobcat till the day i die but i still say they dont have a chance there not ready to be taking on a team like p-burg no disrespect to the bobcats

It is going to help BL by playing a better team. Unless they get beat by 50 points and tuck their tails between their legs and pout like normal Bobcats. It won't make P-burg any better at all playing a team like BL. No disrespect but they haven't done anything at all in football since well.... as long as I can remember.

The only way a team benefits in a blowout is maybe to get some of their younger guys some game experience, but I agree the game doesn't make a lot of sense. It won't help the team morale at BL at all if they go out and get torched.

You're right, they do have a tough non-district schedule other than this game, but I still think it would benefit them more to have played a better team in this slot. Remember, the only regular-season games that really count are the ones in-district, so a traditional power like P-Burg should play a killer non-district slate. Even if you lose most of them, if it makes you a better team, one that is more likely to win in the playoffs, then it is all worth it.

I would much rather take a couple extra losses in the regular season if it meant it improved my team to where they can go farther in the playoffs. A good post-season run can make everyone forget about a 5-5 record, just as no one will be remember that you went 7-3 if you make an early exit in the playoffs.
Everyone knows that P-Burg will not be challenged in district, so they needed to schedule as many good teams as possible out-of-district.

Initially I had thought that FW's comment was kinda mean to the Betsy Layne kids, but was still probably true. Then I thought, maybe it's possible that, in a weak district, they could slip into the 4-spot.
So who is in their district this year?

Pikeville, Paintsville, South Floyd, Allen Central, and Phelps.
Well, now that I see that I think they have a decent chance to make the playoffs after all. Obviously Pikeville and Paintsville will be 1-2, but after that I would say it's all up for grabs. Betsy Layne could even grab the 3-spot if they beat all three of the other teams.
I checked KHSAA's website, and last years scores with those teams were all losses, but by only 6 (in 3 OT) to Allen Central, 12 to South Floyd, and 8 to Phelps. So they could possibly win all three games or lose all of them.

No one is saying that the players won't play hard and give everything, but it's not as simple as that. Unfortunately, sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you try. If the other team has more talent than you, and they are also giving their best effort, then you will probably lose. That's not a knock on anybody, just the way it is.

You may be correct for saying that it will become a respected program in the future. But, I really don't look for that to happen if they don't get a head coach in there that has some experience as a head coach. They need someone who already has a reputation of building a solid program. But, until then, I think it will be the same let down for those boys each year. We'll just have to wait and see how interested the administration is to get this program on the right track.

If Betsy Layne dgets half the points that P-burg gets it will be a moral victory for them. The bobcats haven't had good caoching in years and to put a guy in there with no real experience is only bad for the program. The bobcats need to do a personal inventory and see if they want to have a football team or a program. If they want a program, they need to hire a coaching staff that has experience and can teach fundamentals. They also need more than two or three coaches. You can't practice with kids standing around all day. I know that Coach Parsons is a good guy, but good guy or not they need a real coach that has proven he can turn a program around. There are coaches, good coaches, out there that relish the task of making something from nothing, hopefully the cats can find that. If not remember the glory days of John Derossett.

you are right. they had some coaching last year but from what i was told floyd county is the only county you have to be a teacher or something like that. The teachers at B.L. don't have time to coach the need to worry about educatiing the kids and from all the cats and act and sat scores wow do they have a problem.:eek: have you seen where they score at in the state down toward the bottom and its not just the teachers fault either, i have been to a few of the high school games and the parents are worse than the kids, yeah coach parsons seems like a nice guy but to put him in charge or is that collins boy callling the shots.since he is the only one with real football playing experience. :)

But you also must know that when coach derosset had the program and they were winning they were out of district. So lets just put some faith into coach parsons and his staff and lets just see. I know they have a four way scrimmage on the 10th on the hill. EVERYONE is WELCOME!!!
Oh yeah, as for coach parsons being a players coach, you might need to stop by and see if they are just playing around or are they working on basic fundamentals.

I totally agree. That's what I've been trying to say all along. You can't expect this program to have anything until they get some quality coaches that have some coaching experience. I'm sure that Coach Parsons is a real nice guy too, but that's not what BL needs at this time. They need a coach that really knows how to turn things around and has experience at doing this. From what I've seen go on down there this year with hiring, I just don't think that the administration is really ready to put football as a priority in the athletics department. :(

Just by you saying that all the coaches played "high school" football just goes to show what kind of mind set is going on down there at BL. Anyone who knows football would know that just because you played high school football, does not mean that you are going to be a good coach. That's totally ridiculous! I know alot of guys that played high school football, but definately don't have the ability to coach a football team and build a football program.

So you mean to tell me that Coach Parsons cut Branham's legs out from under him. Wow that is some hard core inside information. Exactly what did Parsons say and to who did he say it to? All of the above is sacrcasm btw. I don't see a school getting rid of a more experienced coach who had the kids behind him for a guy with no experience just because he went there. Do they think that just because he was from BL that he is the coaching savior they have been looking for since the school started playing football. No offense BL but you showed no one anything. So I believe he will fail like the rest. Or get cut by somebody who wants his job or just doesn't like him for whatever reason.

FROM WHAT COACH B. WAS SHOWING PEOPLE YOU HAD A COACH THAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE REAL DEAL AND B.L. CUT HIM. FORM WHAT I HEARD FROM THE B/L/ PLAYERS COACH RIP HAD GOOD IDEAS BUT KEPT GETTTING IS LEGS CUT OUT BY HIS COACHING STAFF AND SCHOOL. THEY SAID SOME CUT HIM CAUSE OF HIS ATTITUDE AND SOME JUST WANTED HIS JOB.:mad:
I disagree, there are many coaches that never played football past high-school that have good records and have turned programs around. If you study offensive and defenses enough anyone can become "Football-Smart." It is arrogant to think that people who play beyond college know more than those who did not. There are alot of people who make alot more money in the real world that did not go to college at all, so college while society has made it important, is not a make or break thing like many people think. I am not saying that college is not important, but society has put too much importance on it and people are forgetting the basics of life.

Says a lot about P-burg to even schedule BL. This game will help nobody.
This game is a big helper for Prestonsburg, it allows the coaches to see who can play and who can't. Even though that's what they have doing all summer, game atmosphere's are completely different. It wouldn't make any sense to me to schedule a powerhouse and get beat to death in the first game of the season. Smart move by the coaches IMO.

Sounds to me football exorist has a personal problem with Coach Parsons. Coach Parsons played in high school, he was head coach at the grade school, and he was an assistant at the high school for four years. That is some of his experience.

Prestonsburg should win this one by 20-30 points.
Your being way too kind here bull...................
Pburg will be up like 42-0 at half. Play their young guys and score over 60 .;)

A Lil' advice here fanatic,
The more you Betsylayner's say how tough and competetive your gonna play Pburg,
The worse they will make you eat your words. Pburg easily could have been your state champions the 2 years Belfry won it. I didn't say WOULD HAVE BUT COULD HAVE.
Pburg is not gonna go light just because you are Betsy Layne. They will send a message and score 60 or more. Pburg will make an example of Betsy Layne in a bad way.

I dont JUMP ship!!!!I don't think it is so much jumping ship as it is being realistic. Sure, BL could be good in a couple of years if they start building the program at the Little League level, but as for this year, most just can't see how they are going to come out of the blue and be so good. Posts like you have made make you lose all of your creditability.
