This Corbin team plays with tremendous effort...They have a solid chance to win this game. I saw some film on NCC and the two bigger kids are pretty solid linemen, but #50 is the best all around OL for NCC and 73 on the DL IMHO. The two big boys will dominate if they get hands on you, but if Corbin's DL is not playing gap control and stunting they will be hard for NCC to handle. I love the effort Corbin plays with! The QB is the biggest threat for NCC; their RB's are solid as well with #3 being the best of the bunch and a solid LB. If the Hounds score 28 they have a great shot at winning this game.

Stan is second to none. He loves the "big orange" and is an all around great guy.

LC has some talent on a yearly basis, but they suffer from being too predictable on offense. In today's game you must have superior talent, not just good talent, to beat teams with a "run em over" mentality. This isn't to say one may not run the football, but tight splits, double tight, and three in the backfield is a style that is suited for the team with an abundance of talent. LC would benefit from a fresh offensive approach. With that said Mitchell and company deserve the credit that their kids play hard in most games. They are traditionally a tough bunch that will hit until the final whistle. If you combine those characteristics with some "flashy" offense, then you will see LC improve quickly. They should "soften" their schedule by a game or two...I mean LCA, Whitley, and Somerset...geez...that is murderer's row. A few tests are great for a team leading into the district, but there is a fine line between a test and overscheduling. Props for not backing down or boos for being foolhardy?

Both are good kids, and it is good to see them get this opportunity. They are excellent workers with great attitudes. Best of luck.

Ryan is a fine kid; he is a pleasure to be around. I wish him all the luck in the world up at Mt. Union.

He could be a dominant player at Centre. I still expect him to have a very solid career at EKU. This young man will work hit tail off to get on the field.

He has made a solid choice academically as well. Wofford is an excellent school, and this shows that Caleb has his priorities in order.

I hate to hear about this loss for the Jewells. They are good people and they have my prayers. They give a lot of themselves to Corbin High School and to Redhound Football. As for the game, Corbin must be mentally prepared and come out firing. They can not get a lead and put it in cruise control. The second round is a trap week for Corbin due to the lack of competition in the past few years. Suddenly there is a tough team coming to town and the Hounds have to bring their A game a little sooner than in the past. I think Coach Jewell and company will have the team coached up and ready, but teenage boys are the ones we are counting on to be ready to play internally, which I think they will be. Corbin wins 28-13

????any updates????

Not only is it a lack of talent on the DL, it is a lack of overall linemen in general. They simply don't have enough of them to rotate players to keep them fresh.

Danville's offense was out of sync and very predictable...they need a passing package beyond bootleg when they line up in single wing...or maybe a counter...they go tackle over with backs stacked and they are going that way...I don't think that formation got any positive yards except when they cut it back to the weak side due to Corbin's contain. Roman did a good job for the Hounds and the offense was adequate, no broken records, but very solid. They did just what they wanted to, control the ball, work the clock, and make no/few mistakes. Besides a few procedure penalties Corbin was pretty disciplined out there. Watkins is a solid player. I was most impressed with Corbin's defense. Coach Jewell did a great job having them ready. Danville only drove the ball once on the defense and only scored 6 points. The other 8 came on a big play, not a long drive.

Williamsburg 32 Harlan 13 the Burg can control the game with effective passing. Herron and the Jackets will have to be patient because Harlan will give some different looks on D and will make WHS nickle and dime it down the field.

LCA is too much, but other posters are right, if Lynn Camp stays healthy they will be battle tested later in the season. This could pay dividends or it could be a disaster...just depends on the kids...In this game though LCA wins by 28 plus. LCA-49 Campers-15

:thumb::thumb: One thing can ALWAYS be said about a Jerry Herron coached team...they WILL NOT quit. They will always fight opponents to the end of the game even if they are on the short end of a blowout!!! You are right Volfan...whoever said that is out of line.

Whitley is too much for LC this year. I see it as 44-12 with LC scoring late and Coach Black pulling the starters to start the 4th quarter.
