Anytime you have size, physical strength, you will have turnovers! Breathitt caused 5-6 fumbles against Pike Central, a lot of those inside the 10 yard line, Breathitt also on two trips inside the red zone held Pike Central inside the 5 on turnovers on downs.... Belfry has to come with their A-Game to beat this Bobcat team, they are very balanced on the ground, and have break away speed in the air. Collins may prove to be the sore spot for Belfry in this match up, he is a "STRONG" runner through the first line of defense, then has break away speed in the secondary! If Belfry does not play sound fundlemental football and allows Collins to break tackles, as Pike Central did, it will be a very long night! Don't get too focused on Collins, you also have Trent's speed outside to contend with, and if thats not enought...Trent does have a good throwing ability, and Fletcher can sprint down the sideline with the best of them...Dixon from Belfry has speed, as does Warren in the secondary, but with the balanced attack, don't be fooled down field and before you know it...Collins or Trent are running wild up the sideline!

For Belfry to win this game, you got to keep this High powered offense off the field, and limit your turnovers! Breathitt runs a formation where they put three receivers in a pod out wide, and almost everytime, they run the option to Collins on the same side as their three member pod of receivers....Against Pike Central, Trent kept the ball 70 % of the time, and used their three member pod as blocking the second line of defense If Belfry can force Breathitt into a change of offense Belfry will beat the Bobcats..

For Breathitt to win...The Bobcats can't allow Justin Johnson to get into the open! Pike Central could have had running success against the Bobcats if Chapman knew any other plays other than the long ball 3 and outs! Justin Smith have several carries over 8 yards and one he broke for 80+ yards, and Chapman abandoned the run! This Bobcat team Knew Chapmans game plan, and had a answer for almost every play! but back to what Breathitt has to do to win....Their Coach has to be able to out Coach Haywood, and that my friend will be a deciding factor...Both out coached Chapman, and took him to the wood shed, but with Holcomb and Haywood on the sidelines....You both are in for a real entertaining game! May the best team go on to give the East a good showing in BG, and the BEST of LUCK to both of your programs!
