Any info?

Whitley County 35 Pulaski County 14 at the end of the 3rd quarter,then they substituted to the 2nd teams,I left after the 3rd quarter so I don't know the final score. Whitley looked razor sharp last night, and the Pulaski team is very talented also

How did the PC first team O look, it was reported on here that they were shut out last week at Tates Creek. Did Whitley put 9 in the box and try to force them to throw?

Sounds like WC is on target for a good season.

Whitley did not put 9 in the box in fact they played mostly their base defense. PC should have only had 7 points but they were able to sustain a drive after a questionable pass interfearce call by the official on the PC side, when the ball hit the defender in the helmet. I don't think that Pulaski attempted more than 10-12 passes in the three quarters, and may have completed 6 or 7 of those.

 

PC could not stop the rushing attack of the Colonels who had some where in the neighborhood of 400 yards rushing in three quarters. When the 1st unit when out Whitley was leading 35-14 and the final score was 35-26.

 

Muse is a multi talanted QB who can really hurt teams with his arm and his running ability, while I was VERY impressed with the Hines kid, he can really make up ground and make plays defensively.

 

Whitley's defense was solid but not spectacular, they made plays when they needed to. The offense was like a train on a track, down hill with a tailwind. Their kids looked bigger, stronger and faster than a year ago. Both sides of the ball for Whitley appeared to be the more physical of the two teams. It looked like Whitley has about 4 or 5 guys who can run the football well. I think Whitley may have thrown the ball 4 or 5 times with maybe three completions, they did not need to throw, since Pulaski could not stop the running game.

 

The Colonels did have some problems with cramps so conditioning may need to be upgraded

 

I was much more impressed with the Colonels than the Maroons, considering what Pulaski had coming back I would have expected about the same score except reversed. This is the third year Jim Black has been the head man at Whitley and now you are starting to see the improvement and the payoff.

After watching the Maroons scrimmage one must wonder what if Coach Hines is showing all of his cards. They looked much better last year and return nearly all there talent. My guess is that Hines is not showing everything. But I would say that of most coachs in the preseason.

I thought that Whitley hurt themselves several times with some bad penalties but they were able to overcome those, which was something they could never do last year. All in all I think it was encouraging but it was still only a scrimmage.

I thought both teams played it close to the vest, although it looked like the Maroons were just a shade over confident, and at times frustrated and looking around for someone to make a play.

 

I am sure that they will improve and be a factor in the playoffs.

Whitley County has a great running game. If Whitley continues to run the ball 70% of the time, they will win the district. The coaching staff has done a great job establishing the running game. Numbers 33,23, and 26 are big, strong, and fast! They will punish their opponents, if given the ball enough. Good Luck Colonels!!!!!

Whitley looked sharp :confused:friday night. I have never been able to figure out why they could never transfer their middle school talent to the High School level in the last few years. Their Middle school teams have been dominant for years-now it seems to be carring over to the high school. Can anyone give me some info on this?

I thought last year that Whitley was the team to beat in that district early on in the preseason. Maybe they will be this year?

Read the "Everything a Rookie" thread and it will answer, any questions.

Whitley County would have won more games last year if they ran the ball. They tried to be a passing team and that did not work. I think the coaching staff will run the ball this year and the results will be great.

You are right they did try and pass the ball last year but that was not design, their running QB was lost for most of the season and only returned for the playoff game. Had he still be running the show I think you would have seen a different offense as the year went on, in fact it would have looked alot like what they are doing this year.

 

Of course their line is a little bigger and stronger this year and that helps.

That was the word last year as well. I think they had a team that could have very easily won the district. They were in every game in the fourth quarter. The only game they got blew out was Lynn Camp. I think they are easily the district favorites again this year.
