Should be a good final tune-up for both teams before they open next week at the Correll Bowl.. Starts at 7 PM Fri. at SW..

Should be a good scrimmage for both teams.

Any update on how scrimmage went.

The scrimmage went pretty good.. SW looked slow and tentative in the first half allowing Rock to go up 14-0.. The Warriors looked like a different team after the half and dominated the third quarter to tie the score at 14-14.. JV's played the fourth... Several scouts from Pulaski and Somerset attended and it looked as if both head coaches just ran their basic sets on Off. and Def... Both teams will have to play better to win their opening games next week...

Scouts? All of Somersets coaches were in Knott County at the Painstville Scrimmage.

I thought Rockcastle looked pretty good last night. They should have scored when they had the ball on the 2 yard line and I thought they had a little bit of a let-down on defence after the break. They have a little work to do but that is to be expected this time of year. I think the Rockets are going to be just fine this year and I can't wait for next week.

Why?

I would also have to say that I think Rockcastle will be okay. They marched the ball down the field three times inside the 20 yard line, but failed to punch it in. Of course, I think they are trying to iron out a few things before their opener of the season. I'm anxious to watch the big game Friday against Pulaski. Go Rockets!!!

I honestly have nothing against Rockcastle but if their fans are looking for the old Rockcastle it won't come this year until very late in the season if it comes. It's just going to take more time. Solid team for sure but not the Rockcastle of old. Not yet.

Just wondering if you have watched them practice or scrimmage any? I think that it hurts Rockcastle to be so low on numbers. I think that they have the athletes, but with football, numbers are important.

I've seen one of their scrimmages and have watched at least one game a year for the last several. The numbers are not helping, it's just a down turn right now that a lot of teams go through. The key is keeping everything positive through the lean times as far as parent and school support and things will bounce back.

No Pulaski Co. Coaches were there.

Why?

Somerset scrimmaged Painstville, that's why.

That's a nice way to say that you think Rockcastle isn't very good. Maybe you should check them out Friday night to see just how lean times are at the Rock! Ray Correl Bowl 6pm. :ylsuper::ylsuper:

I as a lifetime Rockcastle County fan didn't take it the way you did. I would love nothing better than to win a state title for Rockcastle but like he stated, having low numbers isn't going to help things.

 

Having a lower number of players to choose from means that a lot of guys will have to go both wyas.....I'm fine with that BUT what if someone gets hurt and the position that they played was thin at talent? This holds true for any team that doesn't have a large selection to choose from.

 

As a Rockcastle County fan, I want nothing but the best for these guys and will support them no matter what other think about them. IF they have a "down" year, I'll still support them. If they have a great year, I'll still support them. I, as a Rocket, alum, will always be proud of every student-athlete, coach, student, teacher, counselor, custodian, and etc. because I kn0ow that everything ran with a level of class that every RCHS fan should be proud of.
