The people in charge now were part of the program in the so called "glory years" of BHS football. They know what it takes to win titles and to compete at the top level. That being said, all the pieces are not the same as far as players, coaches, etc.. it was a perfect mesh of personalities and skills on all levels that impacted the program during the decade of dominance. That is just my opinion. Hopefully we will see a focus on defense this season. If we do, I think we see a return to BHS football we all expect. If they do not score, they do not win. Simple.

Going back and reading what I typed I need to clarify what was meant. I know it is tough to stop some teams from scoring, but it is clear that there has been a lack of focus on defense at Breathitt in the past few seasons. In my opinion a team needs a consistent defense 1st in order to be a contender on any level. It is not simple to keep teams off the scoreboard, but it is simple to put more focus on defense and there are simple steps that one can implement to improve defensive effectiveness.
