I don't know what you're seeing to lead you to THAT prediction. I doubt there's ONE person in P-burg (including player's parents!) that sees the game that lopsided.

Breathitt Co. and Prestonsburg have played a LOT of entertaining football games. Footballs usually fly all over the place as either team doesn't hesitate throwing downfield if they think something's there.

For Breathitt Co... Will Fugate will be able to get big plays? Prestonsburg doesn't play a "stone wall" type defense (like Sheldon Clark) - it focuses more on not giving up big plays. As such, I think Fugate getting 100-150 yds. is a given. The focus is how many rushes does it take to get them. If Holcombe gets impatient and puts the ball up, it plays to the Blackcats. I don't think Breathitt Co. can beat P-burg through the air.

For Prestonsburg... Can the O-line give Burchett enough time to throw ? Breathitt Co.'s 6-2 allows a lot of pass rushers. If the running game can slow down the rush and/or it's blocked effectively, Prestonsburg could win with the passing game - it's that good.
