Anyone that thinks Walton-Verona will be a push over, may need to go and get their head examined. After studying up on this team, the Bearcats have played a solid schedule and they are very well coached. They are very "workman like" and they seem to play at their best when pounding the ball and controlling the clock. In other words, if Breathitt isn't ready to play, their season will come to an end this Friday on the Riverbank. With that being said, Walton-Verona is a younger team, who doesn't have a lot of depth. I feel if Breathitt comes out ready to play, they should be able to run the ball and wear down the Bearcat D-Line. Defensively, this will be the biggest test of the year,so far for the Bobcats. Walton-Verona will have success running the football, but as long as Breathitt's defense doesn't give up the big play, I like our chances at creating turnovers. At the end of the day, I think the Bobcats running game will be the deciding factor in bringing home the first regional championship since 2008. Breathitt wins 35-21.
