Is there anyone out there that can give me the true answer about the future of this great series. I have been told that Corbin has refused to play Bell because they did not play in their bowl game at the begining of the year.

Does anyone know what is going on with these two teams? There is no doubt that the game two weeks ago was a very exciting and competitive game.

I was told that there was a standing room only crowd with alot of good football played and the final score showed that. Will this also mean the end of the SEKC as we have know it for 30 plus years? I never thought I would live to see the day that Corbin, Middlesboro & Pineville would no longer play Bell county. Do Corbin & Middlesboro have their 2007 schedules finished yet?

I also hear their will be no more Middlesboro/Pineville games. Can anyone confirm? What a sad day for Mtn. football fans if this is true!

Corbin will not dodge anyone and never has. It's hard for me to believe that COrbin will not play Bell. I will talk with some of our coaches to find out about this.

I know in the past, when you looked up the definition of football, it was followed by Corbin football with a footnote: Middlesboro Yellow Jackets.

My how times have changed. I certainly hope they can get this straightend

out.

IMO Middlesboro has a reason to drop Bell, they can't compete with them. Corbin on the other hand has competed and has beaten Bell over the past 4 or5 years. Middlesboro program has really drop since 1998 state championship team. I hope that our coaches don't think that we are headed in the same direction as Middlesboro.

From what I understand, Corbin will be playing Somerset, Trinity, St X and Male just to name a few of their non-district competition. I don't think they can squeeze Bell in there with that type of schedule.

I do know that COrbin will play SOmerset,North,South and LCA

Middlesboro never really survived the drop into Class A. They seemed to get stuck in the class. I can remember the days they played Somerset and corbin

and tates creek and handled them with ease. What has happened to them?

Corbin seems to have fallen from grace a little ever since they started playing in the west 2A district. But, they still played tough teams. There has to be something going on behind the lockeroom that someone is not telling for Bell and Corbin / Bell and Middlesboro / Pineville and Middlesboro not play anymore.

what's in the water in Bell county?

LCA ? Aren't they a class A school and Somerset is just a class AA school. I can't believe that Corbin would step down to that level to find competition.

 

Surely you are joking. Tell me they are going to play Bell and Rockcastle or somebody better.

I hope you are right about Trinty, St. X and Male, but I doubt you will see all of them on anybody's schedule in Ky. Those three will play each other. and each will play out of Louisville some, but not all three on Corbin's schedule or Bell's or middlesboro or Highland's or Boyle's or whoever else you can think of.

I hope Corbin does play LCA the next couple of years. They run a CLASS program and unless I'm mistaken they beat Beechwood out of the playoffs last year, plus the Hayden kid that plays RB for them has D-1 written all over him.

 

I hope to see Bell Co. on the schedule, but I can understand why they may not be there too. Anyway a non-district schedule of the following teams is not too bad.

1. Danville

2. Belfry

3. Somerset

4. South Laurel

5. North Laurel

6. LCA

It's not bad, but why drop a rivalry game like Bell that has gone on for so long for a Danville, Belfry, Somerset, or LCA. I can see North and South, but what is the reasoning in adding those other teams instead of Bell.

Danville and Belfry will be bowl games. Somerset was/is a bigger rival than Corbin/Bell, Bell had never beat Corbin until somewhere around 15 or so years back, before then most games were lopsided in Corbin's favor, where Corbin/Somerset was normally a competetive game for many, many years.

 

The North series should be picked back up, not sure who dropped who or if it was a scheduling conflict.

 

South is another rival like Bell, they had never beat us until around 10 years or so back and now they have won 4 in a row.

 

The LCA game is the only one that doesn't make sence to me. Although I heard someone say last year that the Corbin fans enjoy the easy trip to Lexington and make a weekend of it.

 

Add district games of Knott, Leslie and Middlesboro - that leaves one opening on the schedule, my guess is Rockcastle.

:thumb: I know Rock is needing 2 more games during weeks 9, 10, 11. It would be nice to see Rock vs. Corbin as the last game of the regular season. I believe both coaches are in agreement to play, it just depends on whether or not the open dates match up.

The first time south had beaten Corbin in the History of the school was in 2001. Until then South Laurel had never beat Corbin in Football.
