Final.

West Carter=

Another big night from Cline - 262 yards and 5 TDs. He'll be hard to ignore when All-State voting time rolls around.

What happened to Bath County? It looked like they were building something a couple of years ago.

Cline is legit.

The question is how good/legit is Cline? The competition is lacking.

Here are Cline's stats last year when playing quality teams:

vs. Mercer County ... 17 carries for 53 yards.

vs. Russell ... 19 carries for 56 yards.

vs. Beechwood ... 17 carries for 45 yards.

When we start talking all state qualifications, competition has to be a factor. Let's see how he does when he faces the better competition. Unfortunately for him, the only quality team on the schedule in the regular season is Russell so not much opportunity for him.

They had a great running back that graduated. I think their starting quarterback was hurt in the season opener this year as well.

I'm not saying he's a shoe-in for first, second, or third team honors, but his numbers should at least keep him in consideration. I definitely agree that competition should matter, but players make the cut sometimes on numbers alone.

Swartz was definitely a good one, but he had a solid class around him that underperformed, imo. I seem to remember talk of solid classes coming up behind that one, but Bath County seems to be on a downward slope right now. I expected dropping to 2A to be a boost for them too.

I’m not 100% sure but Didn't Breathitt county have like 6 all state guys on their team last year? Competition must not matter if I’m accurate on that. 
 

Is it possible that the offensive line wasn’t as legitimate as they were last year for west Carter? Seemed like Cline had some issues with injuries last year too. I look forward to watching West Carter go to Russell in a few weeks.

I believe he’s pretty legit. In fact, at times, too much so to quit. Even when he has sweat running all over, he doesn’t quit, he presses on. He has dreams in store, he knows, he has stated that no one is going to take them away. He has to get his and not let anyone take that away. Some have stated that they, “don’t want none”. Cline has, in fact, hustled for his muscle and made others look weak. He has the goal of going for all he can get, at the top, because he is, as previously hypothesized, to legit to quit.

Awesome! I love hearing all that. I have no doubt he has worked hard for everything he has. That is the way it works in life. Rare is it that someone is handed opportunity. Based on what he has and is achieving, he will have an opportunity to continue working toward his dreams and goals next year too. I am rooting for his success.

My, my, my, my, he just hits so hard. Sometimes I find myself saying, oh my lord. He his hard to touch.

He had 12 catches for 94 yards receiving against Beachwood.
