Solid?
2 or 3 good teams doesn't make it solid, unless you are talking about making sure of a winning season.
And all everybody wants to do is put down Paintsville's schedule???

Well no Prestonsburg ensures a winning season by busting their butts during the off-season. At Prestonsburg they do both football AND basketball or football AND wrestling or football AND track or baseball. They don't wait until they have nothing else to do before lifting weights and conditioning. Something maybe Paintsville should try. Things may have changed there so I could be wrong.

Anyways....Morgan, Valley and Bath are all district games. That leaves 7 spots to fill. Sometimes you have to take what games you can get..All these games were part of 2 year deals, and with the exception of Betsy Layne, all the teams were looking at solid years as they almost always do. Its not Derosett's fault that Lawrence Co. and Paintsville weren't very good last year and probably not looking at being much better this year. And then you have Pikeville, Breathitt Co., Beechwood, and Perry Central. 3 of those teams spent some time in the mountain top 10 last year, and Beechwood won Single A. So yes another SOLID schedule for Prestonsburg. Not the hardest they've ever had, but much better then you obviously want to give credit for.
