Prestonsburg I think will be ok on defense but, the weakness on this team will be the offense. The entire team will be young but the offense will suffer from this Brad Little will be a senior and get most of the carries and so will Austin McKinney. Look for P-Burg to spread out the defense and throw the ball with Michael Burchett.

You may be right...

Prestonsburg over the past few years just hasn't had sufficient numbers of mobile, strong big players to develop a good power running game. Coach D. has tried to make up for it with more power-I and flexbone sets, but there's only so much that can be done with formation adjustments.

If the Blackcats do spread it out, P-burg will need to do something it hasn't tried to do since the Letton years - develop a timing-based short and intermediate passing game. Shake-n-bake "drawn-in-the-dirt" passing routes seen during the past 10 years will NOT work against the better 2A defenses.

Prestonsburg desperately needs more numbers. More than anything else over the recent past, the number of forced two-way players on the lines and at RB/LB has held this team back from its maximum potential. If P-burg had TWO MORE good quality big men this year, the team could still be playing ball this year.
