WHITESBURG – September 16, 2022 – Brendon D. Miller
Breathitt goes on the road to face a 4A opponent for the second consecutive week in the Letcher Central Cougars. Both teams lost a close one in Perry County last Friday as the Bobcats fell to Perry Central 28-26 and Letcher lost to Hazard on the last play of the game, 52-50. Should be good one as both teams prepare for District play.
