Coach Chris Byrd and the Generals Football team traveled to Walton Verona where the season came to an end, but the Generals had a bounce-back season. The heart and effort these boys put in through the summer till fall was tremendous. They accomplished some "first feats" that had never been done in program history, and accomplished many things as a whole this season!
The Generals accomplished the following feats:
- Defeated Berea for the Battle of Big Hill Bowl 46-0.
- Overcame Lynn Camp at home for the first time in program history 26-0.
- Won a District Game for the first time in 9 years against Morgan County with a score of 36-12.
- Conquered a 22-0 setback with a 28-22 Comeback win over Pineville for the first win over the Mountain Lions in program history, especially on Senior Night.
- Had a Junior Varsity team for the first time in over 5 years.
- Played a playoff game for the first time in years.
- The team wasn't shutout in the regular season for the first time in program history.
The Generals have a lot to reflect, and be proud of. Though the season is over, the Generals are looking forward and working towards next season. Looking ahead, the Generals will gain new competition in their district with Powell County, Lewis County, West Carter, and Morgan County... and the Breathitt County Bobcats will be realigned in a new district. The Generals are looking ahead to another milestone year!
