Greenup County -- 5

 

0-10 regular season

5-0 in playoffs

 

:jump:

Looking good so far.

I am not going to predict what ROCKCASTLE will do but I believe their record will be better than 6-6.

No offense intended but how long has McCreary had a program. Isn't it nearing 20 years?

 

Why would anyone be offended because you asked how old a program is. I went to a school that didn't have a winning season for over 40 years and then there were a few changes made throughout the school system including the football program. Right after that we had a 5-5 season. The next year we went 9-1 and since then my old high school has had several undefeated regular seasons and thier football program is solid still yet today. Guess what? It all started with a group of kids who started playing youth football together and won at every level and the changes that were made were made at the right time. I guess the stars alligned so to speak. I can see similarities with today's MC program having this group of Jr's and Soph. who have played a long time together and has been successfull at every level, with more groups coming up behind them that have been very, very competitive at every level. It is not embarrasing to have had a disapointing past but is would be embarrasing not to work toward a successfull future and that is what they are doing at MC one step at a time. They don't think they will jump from thier 20 year+ past staight into Papa John's Stadium, they are happy with small milestones like making the playoffs for the first time ever last year and working toward a winning season this year. None of this is easy and it definately isn't going to be handed to them on a silver platter. they have to beat 1 of 4 very good football teams that have a lot of tradition just to make the playoffs...............no gaurantees there. So no I am not offended, actually your question makes me proud of what the Raiders have accomplished in the last couple of years.

I think Henry Clay will start the season 0-3 and then, thankfully, they will begin to play some of the weak district opponents and I would guess go 4-2 the remainder of the regular season.

They have never really had an administration that supported it. And even now, they don't invest much into their coaches. I think talent alone is what will win McCreary some games..

 

Are you saying that the coaching staff is weak as far as ability or that there isn't many of them. I know they only have 5 coaches and that is a shame, but their head coach started the program at McCreary and has coach for 20+ years and acually came from Leslie Co. They have one assistant who has coached for 20+ years who started coaching in Ohio, they also have a coach who played at McCreary and then played 4 years at Cumberland and they have a coach who has coached for many years that came from Tn where he coached at Anderson Co and Onieda I know. So, I think that is a great start to a coaching staff and I am sure they would like to have the administration step up and hire 2 or 3 more coaches. As far as your statement about talent alone being the only reason for MC wins I guess the coaches can just spend time at the concession stand the entire season and just let the boys play! According to your theory they win games that way. I guess when I read posts like this the only thing I can do is: :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I believe Lloyd will go either 6-4 or 7-3 in the regular season. Who knows how good they will do in the playoffs, maybe they could make a run like the 03' team...

So you are predicting a State Finals appearance for the Bobcats? For them to reach 14 wins they would have to go 10-0 in regular season and reach the State Finals. Can we count on your prediction? Although they may be favored there are at least 4 teams on their schedule that could beat them.

0-2 Bobcats

Sheldon Clark I'm saying 7 or 8 depending on this Friday.....go Cards
