Is this post for real?

Raceland may be good ... I can assure you .. no one from Beechwood is overlooking Raceland. Or at this point ... even thinking about Raceland.

I would be curious to know what part of the Cov Cath game looked so miserable. But ... the impression from nearly every other part of the state (with the exception of EKY) was that Beechwood looked pretty decent against Cov Cath. Cov Cath is down ... but they are a solid team (again--definitely not one of the better Cov Cath teams at all). But Beechwood easily dominated the LOS--and just about every other aspect of the game except for Pat VanSant.

I believe that you are one of the people who picked Prestonsburg over Beechwood. Well ... I would be very interested in your assessment AFTER the game. Beechwood didn't have a lot of trouble ...and started subbing liberally after the first series in the 2nd half. Judging by your thoughts ... a person would also assume that you think that Raceland would crush the Blackcats (which I am not buying).

Overall--to Prestonsburg .... keep plugging away. You have a great team--and your program is classy. The kids in the program are solid young men--who left a good impression on me (#7 in particular--when I was walking up the ramp ... "excuse me sir" .. when he was barely close enough to be near). That was enough to show me that the Blackcats have a classy program. That kind of stuff matters.

A smart man once told me "you learn a lot more from a loss than from any win" ... don't let yesterday slow you down.

Good luck to the Blackcats and their fans for the rest of the season.

Beechwood is as good as any team in the state and only play around 15 players and will walk to Papa John's. I was very impressed with them and whoever wasn't, I would hate to see the team that impresses them. That was not Prestonsburg's first test, that came week two at Breathitt and although Lawrence is winless, look at their schedule and the scores. Other than not showing up this week for Rowan, they have played one of the toughest schedules in Eastern Kentucky.
