Only part of my prediction I got wrong was that it would be close, everything else was pretty spot on.

Complete domination pretty much from the coin toss. Prestonsburg definitely won the trenches with the ground game, just wearing down BL pretty early. Been impressed with their defense all season, but this game they really put it all together, shutting down Mccutcheon, and getting the QB out of the pocket and he just didn't have any time at all to make any plays, threw a lot of arid passes on the run that wasn't even close to his receivers. Just a great effort on both sides of the ball, even special teams got in on the action with a blocked punt as well.

Now I also said that if it was a close game, that costly penalties could doom Betsy Layne. Didn't have to worry about a close game obviously, but the penalties were still there. Just boneheaded penalties, holding literally on every play, and if they didn't call that, it was unsportsmanlike all game. But it was very very very evident when the game was out of reach, the intentions that BL had, trying to hurt someone, my wife who is normally very levelheaded and quiet was even hollering at the refs. It was sad to see that, some of the BL players were throwing up middle fingers as previously mentioned to the Pburg sideline. It was inexcusable actions from them, and it's all a direct reflection of the coach and the rest of his staff, no discipline whatsoever.

Congrats to Prestonsburg on getting the shutout victory, and moving onto play for & host a Regional Championship, sure will be a tough test against an always good Somerset team.
