Hope playing these weak teams don't hurt this team at play-off time. Breathitt by as many as they want.

It's a tangible thought.

Last year numerous Breathitt posters commented how it appeared Breathitt "fell apart" against Belfry after a couple bounces didn't go their way. I can't help but feel part of that could be attributed to the fact Belfry was a little more battle tested against quality competition, specifically in close games.Belfry was the first team all year to take away Breathitt's running game, and it seemed to take a while for Breathitt to adjust as such.


as it stands now, Breathitt has two games against quality competition in Somerset and Hazard (games where they still will be the favorite and are "playing down")
