To say Hazard has a better defense that Breathitt is .....Breathitt could score 30 on Hazard on a bad day.....Hazard may be able to stop a team that runs the ball well or passes the ball well, but they can not stop a team that is good at both. Hazard is not even in the same league as Breathitt, Belfry, Russell, Bell Co. or any of the other mountain powers.

Hazard could compete with any of those teams last year but maybe not of won but that is really my opinion. And saying that Breathitt could score 30 on a bad on Hazard is just insult. They only played 3 teams that I would classify to the caliber of Hazard and that is Prestonsburg which they won by 5 points, beat Russell by 3 points, and then got hammered by a Belfry team. They only beat Cawood team by 14 points whose record was 4-7 not real impressive in my opinion( not putting Cawood down neither because there quarterback was super). Sure they beat a Lexington Christian team but so did hazard. But I will say this though Breathitt was a very impressive team which airing the ball out and running it right down your throat , but I don't think the will be nearly as good as last year.
