EKC Grid tonight against Lewis County ended 51-0, 43 coming from varsity play and 8 coming during a running clock 4th quarter. 

To be honest, Lewis County might be the worst football team in the state of Kentucky. At one point, there were 5 straight plays where the ball either was a rolling snap behind or to the side of the QB or a snap over his head. I believe Lewis had one first down for the scrimmage and I am sure the yards were negative. To say it was a tough scrimmage to watch is an understatement. I commend the coaches of Lewis County for continuing to try and coach and teach, though. They are certainly doing their best with a team who may be outmanned in every contest this year. 

Greenup got very little from this scrimmage. They could have ran any run scheme and most likely would have found success. They did rotate a lot of players throughout the varsity portion it seemed. Nevertheless, still a lot of unknowns for the Musketeers after tonight. Their starting senior RB, Tyson Law, is out for the season with a broken leg and torn patellar tendon. This is a big blow to a team as young as Greenup. Sophomore Ashur Wireman and Junior Eric Campbell shared a lot fo the carries tonight. QB Jasper Davis played okay tonight but the passing game still needs a lot of work. A lot of unknowns going into PCC. 

Greenup graduated some players from last season including a generational player in Tyson Sammons.  Especially the run game, we're talking 2,500+ yards and 37 touchdowns between Sammons, Austin Walker, and Waylon Perkins. Their leading returning rusher had a total of 55 yards last season.

That being said, there is one difference right now at Greenup County overall compared to what would normally have been the case in prior years - the enthusiasm around the program. Not just football, but Greenup County has gone through a culture change over the last several years. There is a different feel around the sports programs and more importantly from the academic perspective. This school has come leaps and bounds. Enthusiasm like that will spread across sports as well and make a difference.

It is quite notable, in all honesty. The school has began to invest in athletics more than they have in the past. New bleachers on the football field three years ago and an indoor athletic facility for basketball, softball, baseball, wrestling, and archery (of course other sports can use it as well) last year. 

The academic focus hasn't necessarily been about academics as much as it has been about personalized education, or so it seems. They have a Local Accountability Model that they hold themselves accountable on rather than worrying about state test scores. It seems like the community is much more involved with the school than ever before and the school holds themselves to the community's standard higher than the past. GC has a vocational school attached to the building where students can earn trade certificates AND the school just announced that starting this school year, they have a next generation program where high school students can complete enough college credits to earn an associate's degree before graduating through UK. Pretty impressive stuff!

It certainly is leaps and bounds than a decade ago and a lot of credit goes to Traysea Moresea, superintendent. The football program has won a lot of football games the past three years under Zack Moore and Travis Jones. A lot of hype comes from just this. If the Musketeers win 8 games this year, it will be the most games won in any 4-year stretch dating back to the program's beginning in 1973. If GC wins 12 games over the course of the next two years, it will be the winningest 5-year stretch in program history. Point being, its hard to argue that GC isn't at the highest high that they have had at least since the 1970s. The area is better when GC is good and winning.
