Final from the Rock. Rock was some what sloppy early turning the ball over but finally smoothed things out some and put away Garrard. Garrard has size on the line as they normally always do. Have skilled players with speed just need to put everything together and they could win several games just have to see how it goes. Now for the Rock on to the matchup for potential district winner between Rock and Bell. Let’s put the pads together and see what happens!

Garrard does have some size but not as much line depth as usual. Two linemen were playing their first games after missing last week against Bath. The skill players are almost all sophomores and gaining experience each week. I agree with @RoCkMaN28 that Garrard should be better going forward.

Garrard has a few play makers and could potentially be pretty good in a couple years. For them to be competitive they have to change that 3-4 yards a play ground and pound mentality. They have to get the football to those kids in space and create 1 on 1 match ups to exploit teams like Rock, Bell, Knox, Belfry etc. Teams like those mentioned are to well coached and physical to just pound the ball at them. The Lions have a few lineman but only a few. Like gchs_uk9 mentioned depth is a concern. They had several players being tended to by trainers during the rock game that started. Hope they are not serious injuries. It is time for them to upgrade their strategies for sure.

The irony in a Rockcastle fan telling another team that they need to change their ground and pound mentality to be competitive......

I enjoy watching all high school football teams play. Just my observations from watching online. Garrard will get better but they could be harder to defend with a more open offense.  Parkey is a player and Chasteen is a bulldozer. Both teams have some players but rest assured I am no Rocket faithful. Anchors Aweigh!
