WOW Coach Larkey fixed the loop holes in his team quick.

 

I don't know if they had to fix anything to beat McCreary.

The Rocks line stepped it up tonight. And the Rock played like Rockcastle should played. Coach Larkey whipped them into shape.

Great lead in Banker. No excuses, McCraery hit the field ready to play after the best week of practice all year. My hats are off to Rockcastle they were an outstanding team and simply out played the Raiders at every aspect of the game. Their offensive line dominated ours as did their defensive line. They were very physical and at half time the coaches from Mccreary coneeded that Rockcastle was probably twice as strong as the Raiders position for position acrossed the board. This was a good marker for McCreary because it shows them where they need to go in order to be a top contender in 4-A (1st and foremost they need to hit the weightroom. i think there were only a handful of flags thrown so both teams showed discipline and good technigue. Rocks defense was super and I think only gave up one

1st down in the 1st half. It is hard to keep a team like Rockcastle from scoring 51 when you can't keep their offense off of the field. There was one bright point I think for the Raiders and that was their JV team. from late in the 3rd quarter on, Mccreary had all freshmen and sophmores playing defese except 1 senior who hadn't had any playing time and all freshmen and sophmores on offense and they played very well. i would like to say that we were treated with respect and class from the fans and the Rockcastle players and coaching staff. With the exception of getting our butts royally kicked it was a great night for football. Again congrats to Rockcastle and good luck the rest of the way.

This was just a case of McCreary having to face a quality program. No disrespect to their previous opponents but they didn't measure up. Nothing to hang your head over Raiders in years past the coaches wouldn't even have allowed this game to be played due to injury risk. Just keep getting better and work hard in the offseason.

in years past the coaches wouldn't even have allowed this game to be played due to injury risk. .

 

I don't know about that if I remember correctly just before McCreary pulled out of district they were playing Boyle Co. right at the height of Boyle Counties dominance.
