Prestonsburg vs. Betsy Layne

[dfblackcat53]

prestonsburg's season opener is betsy layne at prestonsburg in the joe p. tackett memorial bowl..what does everyone think?

[warriorpride]

P'burg-35
BL-14

[ComfortEagle]

Prestonsburg - 45
BL - 6

[bigpun]

P-burg by 40.

[hillbilly]

more than forty

[PLAYBOY5]

Prestonsburg-58
Betsy Layne-0

[MVP2]

44-6

[BlackcatAlum]

It shouldn't be close. Prestonsburg is better at every position. But its gonna be a tough season for Betsy Layne after hiring a new coach during dead period.

[CoachB]

I think Coach Parsons will do a fine job and it will be closer than expected!

[betsylayne fanatic]

I think it will be a better game than expected, and the bobcats will be prepared going into pburg on the 24th of August at 7:30.

[PLAYBOY5]

Not a good team to open your season up too I don't think. Will be a very good test for the Bobcats! Best of luck to both teams!

[Thorn67]

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

[bigpun]

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.

[Jonnyappleseed]

Why even make a thread about this game?

[Benchwarmer]

P-Burg by a lot.

[betsylayne fanatic]

Betsy Layne in a shocker, 42-37

[TidesHoss32]

Pburg wont run it up on Betsy Lane.........intentionally. Pburg 76-0.

[More Cowbell]

Why even make a thread about this game?

My sentiments exactly...

[jetpilot]

Says a lot about P-burg to even schedule BL. This game will help nobody.

[More Cowbell]

Says a lot about P-burg to even schedule BL. This game will help nobody.

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.

[dfblackcat53]

i agree, but look at the rest of prestonsburgs schedule

[More Cowbell]

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.

[Lake Chief]

I think if Betsy Layne keeps the bus on the road and no one gets hurt during the game, it's been a good night.

I guess they would rather have a better record...

[EKUAlum05]

Betsy Layne does not score unless Pburg lets them.

The Blackcats can name the score in this one.

PBURG 48
BL 0

[betsylayne fanatic]

I appreciate all the talking, but I am telling you that the bobcats will not lie down and they will come out fighting. Take that for what its worth!!!!

[More Cowbell]

I guess they would rather have a better record...

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.

[p_casey#21]

p-burg by 30 or more

[bigpun]

P-burg by 35+.

[F.N.L.]

You could not have said it better. Tough losses during off district gets you ready for post season. With a couple of breaks you may sneak up on those tough teams if you can staind the pressure.

[F.N.L.]

At least 35, unless P-burg calls off the dawgs!

[betsylayne fanatic]

P-burg has never called off the dogs playing them in the past, the bobcats will come to play and prepare for a CAT fight!!!!!!

[BlackcatAlum]

In the past ten years these are the final scores between Betsy Layne and Prestonsburg;

Pburg- 62
BL- 14

'99

Football Widow, I understand how the past of the Bobcats hasn't been the best, but this year is different like any other. Why you ask, because something special is going to happen this year for the bobcats, I believe in that, and I think the players/coaches also do.

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.

[More Cowbell]

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.

[betsylayne fanatic]

I want all BGR members to know, the bobcats will play hard, give everything every down, and become a well respected program in the region.....

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.

[RIP_28]

I think Coach Parsons will do a fine job and it will be closer than expected!62-0 PBURG

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.

[betsylayne fanatic]

Why dont we give this coach a chance, he is a betsy layne boy, he knows the team, he cares deeply about the team. Football Widow seems to me you got some hostile feelings, do you need a hug?

Sounds more like to me that you want to hug the coach??

I didn't say anything bad about him, I'm just commenting on the "good ol boy" hiring system in the mountains.

[betsylayne fanatic]

I think Coach Parsons deserves a shot, he has put in his dues with the program.

Definate true post. If you do your job and your opponent does his, the better player will most likely win. Remember there are still 10 other players, teams can do great things TOGETHER.

[F.N.L.]

Wow, I guarantee the bobcats will play a better against the blackcats than ever before.

Maybe so, still won't be enough. P-Burg too much. Saw them play last year (P-Burg), did not show much respect for the game.

[UnderArmour24]

P-burg can win this one by as many as they want. Betsy Layne will be lucky to score even with P-burgs freshman playin more than likely most of the second half. P-burg by 40+.

[footballexorcist]

coach parsons does deserve a chance but he went the wrong way to get that chance good luck to all the bl players. p- burg will win by atleast 25:letsparty :letsparty

As down as Betsy Layne has been the LAST THING they need is a Betsy Layne guy to turn the program around. TIME FOR A FACELIFT is my opinion.

BOBCAT FOOTBALL

[PittFan]

Im here to tell each and every one of you all that the Bobcats will not lay down for nobody this season, and I'm not sure about the other players but i for one and very thankful that Coach Parsons is coaching. He has assembled a great coaching staff and we have already done more work in these past 2-3 weeks than we have in all of my high school years. The Bobcats will make some noise come this Fall!!!!!!!!!

[clipperw]

Who all does Red have helping him this season?

[launchpad4]

If Bl gets half of P-burgs score that should be considered a moral victory. Until Betsy Layne makes a strong committment to football they will always be the homecoming or bowl game. Remember this is a bowl game, Betsy Layne was scheduled for a reason. I like and support Betsy Layne,but you have to be serious. P-burg by a lot.

[betsylayne fanatic]

Adam Collins
Wes Gilliam
Scott Bailey
is the asistants

[footballexorcist]

i have a question what happen to all the rest of the coaches, ripkowski, branham, jarrell, and ramey. what happen to all those coaches and why do you think you will be any better

[footballexorcist]

sorry just got corrected ramsey

[footballexorcist]

:cool: there is no hatorade in nothing i said, those boys deserve the best coach for the job and with all the other candidates that had alot more experience and are proven head coaches why would they choose some with little to no coaching experience. They say you have been there for a little while but from what i was told you have been more of a buddy to the players than a coach.

[bluegrassballa]

it think the game shouldnt even be played...its an immediate win for p-burg. jus go ahead and mark a w beside. sorry besty lane, u all jus cant compete with that kind of program. best of luck to u guys though.

i will have to agree with the program of p-burg it will be difficult for bl to stay with them, after all besty layne screwed those boys again, not starting on time again. B.L. will never be able to compete if they don't start taking offseason more serious.:argue:

[footballexorcist]

Adam Collins
Wes Gilliam
Scott Bailey
is the asistants

adam collins is he a B.L. boy and scott bailey isn't he a trainer, and who is wes gilliam sounds like coach parsons is digging at the bottom of the barrell on some of those boys for help. to start a program up wouldn't you want alot more experience at the coaching level. i have never heard of these boys coaching anywhere else. Did they coach anywhere else

[launchpad4]

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. :)

[betsylayne fanatic]

Coach Parsons did play high school football, Coach Collins did play high school football, Coach Gilliam did play high school football. I understand you all are worried about the situation at Betsy Layne. But why dont everyone just sit back and see what happens. I know that for the past 27 years the bobcat program has been sup par. 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.


Bobcat football!!!!!

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.

[betsylayne fanatic]

If i can remember coach McCoy that coach the bobcats got jenkins to the playoffs couldnt do it, he almost destroyed the program. Sgt. Major couldnt do it, and he actually played for Texas a & m as a wideout for a year, Jackie Bush, experience from (john Derossett) couldnt do it, why not coach parsons, lets just give him a shot, then criticize later???

Coach Parsons did play college ball, his high school coach was Ted George, the current principal at prestonsburg

SO IF COACH PARSONS DIDNT PLAY BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL WHERE IS THE EXPERIENCE AT. YOU CANT PLAY ELEMENTARY FOOTBALL AND HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL AND THINK THAT A PROGRAM IS GOING TO BE TURNED AROUND BY THAT PERSON. THE LAST 4 OR 5 YEARS THE HEAD COACHING FOUGHT WITH THE SCHOOL MORE THATN THEY COACH, FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD. iS THAT WHY COACH PARSONS CLEANED HOUSE AND GOT RID OF ALL THE OLD COACHES AND GOT NEW ONES. 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.

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.

[TheBrahmaBull]

Prestonsburg should win this one by 20-30 points.

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.

[blackcat]

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.

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.
