Lex Cath 35 Bell Co. 21

It's going to be a nice atmosphere on Log Mountain. I am glad I will be there to witness what happens on the field. Be a different twist on things after reading all these nice opionated comments.

 

I am sure the people of Lex. Cath will find our fans, community, and facilities to be nothing less than inviting and hospitable.

When Highlands played Lex Cath in Lexington they dressed nearly 100 players. Not sure if they were all varsity or if the Frosh were included. We also had the opportunity to play Lex Cath's JV squad. If the JV team is indicative of Lex Cath's 2nd string... I would have to say their is a moderate drop in talent behind the starting footballers.

 

Trust me, the JV is not indicative at all of the 2nd stringers. There are a mix of good players in the JV squad but Lex Cath doesn't send back all of its key backups to JV games. If you play a good amount of varsity i.e. Lex Cath usually rotates six or seven d-lineman or did the past few years, then you probably won't see these kids on JV. Offensively you also will have a mix of key RBs and recievers who will not make JV games even if they aren't varsity starters.

 

And yes, Lex Cath always dresses the freshman at varsity games.

Thanks for the clarification regarding JV. If that is the case, and I am sure you are right on the money, I wish they would bring more talent with the JV squad. This year's game w/HHS was embarrasing to witness. Did not mean to discredit Lex Cath - great school and great parents! I wish you all well in this Friday's match-up.

I will go with the mountain boys 28 14

No problems at all. I actually just mentioned to Poppabear in a PM that it always struck me as funny how so many people on BGP always talked so highly of JV ball. Lexington Catholic doesn't seem to implement JV ball the same way as some programs. They obviously keep all starters on varsity along with some of the key backups. Then they have a lot of sophmores and some juniors on JV who are at some stage of either proving they might be viable starters in a year or two or guys who are stuck down on the depth chart and are getting a chance to play some at the JV level. Occassionally a few freshman get moved up to JV for a few games just so coaches can evaluate how they perform at that level before utilizing them more in the varsity games. Overall though the idea isn't to win games but to give players game situation experience running some of Lex Cath's basic plays.

 

I remember playing JV my sophmore year and we lacked a solid QB because we had Jacob Doss as a sophmore starting varsity, and then one junior who had occassionally taken a snap or two but was more a of a defensive player and finally two freshman who the coaches looked at as QBs but were still very raw in terms of talent. Our D could hold teams but we didn't score many points.

I don't think too many of our fans will be worried. While Log Mountain may or may not be a little more hostile then Boyle Co. I know many Lex Cath fans will still remember the nice environment of Boyle Co. and I think we all survived. Its playoff football, environments aren't supposed to be all rainbows and sunbeams.

 

(no, im not suggesting Boyle fans were wild or rompous back in 1999 and 2000, im just saying the stadium did not suggest much like. I remember walking onto the field from the school and having to walk through about a crowd of a good 3 or 4 hundred people surrounding us the whole way. Just pretty intimidating)

Thank you. That's quite a few players. So, I assume most of their starters are Seniors since I believe they have 36? Wow. That will be a big obstacle for Bell to overcome. Glad the game is at Log Mountain.

Haha, then refer to the second part there. This isn't some happy go lucky time of warm and happy thoughts and feelings. Its the playoffs. You don't expect to travel to a nice hospitable site to play a game.

I have heard this game is actually going to be played at LC? Does anyone really know? This could change the outcome of the game........

It is @ Bell Co. Don't believe everything you hear. The LHL said it was a LC this weekend in the paper they were wrong. It will be played in the Mountains.

 

 

Has LC every played anybody in the mountains besides 1A Pikeville?
