Been a heckuva year for Prestonsburg! I’ve said many times.. hats off to Wes Hager, his staff and the players who have played their butts off. Majorly overachieved and have brought the program out of the pit of death.

With that being said… we are nowhere near the level of Somerset yet. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know football. It’ll be a running clock quickly and Pburg will be fortunate to get some points on the board. Hope they prove me wrong, but I doubt it.

Btw I love all the Prestonsburg hate!

What is the next step for Prestonsburg? Even if they lose tonight they finish 11-2 and hosted a regional final. How do they get on the state level as a legitimate contender in 2A? With the success they had this year you know comes higher expectations

There were no expectations this year other than 1 or 2 wins. I’m tickled pink that we can lineup with our shoes tied and run a play. No one outside of Prestonsburg understands how down this program was. 

As far as going forward, I hope we can keep our talent in Prestonsburg, get our youth and feeder programs on the same page, and coach ‘em up. I guess that’s the recipe for every team that wants to take the “next step”. I’m fine with trying to win the district and having a winning record next year. We just got ahead of schedule this year thank God. Years away from competing on a state level.
