After losing a large senior class from a 2-8 season, there likely wasn’t much hype surrounding Preston football in 2018. They decided to change the narrative in Week 1.
Unfortunately, after jumping out to a 1-0 start with a win over Hampshire, the Knights fell back on tough times. First, it was taking an early lead over North Marion before surrendering 56 points in a loss. The next week was a 33-point defeat at the hands of the top-ranked Class AAA squad in the state.
Now, Preston looks to right the ship in their second Big 10 match-up of the fall as they travel to Robert C. Byrd for a test against a Class AA playoff hopeful.
The Eagles enter on a hot streak, outscoring their opponents 55-20 on a two-game winning streak after dropping their season opener to Fairmont Senior.
