Bubba Wilson Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Should be a good test for the Hounds. If Harlan is physical and I expect they will be that, they stand a good chance of dominating the line of scrimmage. Hounds maybe shorthanded if Fritts does indeed sit this one out. Good luck to both teams.
BlackBearDenMother Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 It is this Thursday, the 20th, at Corbin, at 7:30 I believe is the time. GO BEARS!!! :clap:
Uncle Rico Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Should answer a lot of questions for the Black Bears and let us know just how this season is going to go! Winning and losing is not important in this game, but somebody told me once you sure feel better when you win! Go Bears!!!
Bubba Wilson Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Thoughts on the scrimmage after the game? Corbin won 14 to 6. Watkins and Taylor scored for the Hounds. I will say one of the smaller Corbin teams I can recall in recent history. Backs appear larger than most of the linemen for the Hounds. Hopefully, the intensity will increase for the first game with the Green Dragons of Harlan next week.
WILDMAN Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Does this line compare with the Bowling, Broyles, Davis, Cleary, Arena, Millard line in size? 2005 maybe?
Uncle Rico Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 How and when did both teams score? I had a conflict of nephews playing in two different places so I didn't go to either game. Been looking at everything on here waiting to hear something about the scrimmage. Looks like both D's played well or both offenses weren't that good.

Morris 5'8 240 Manns 6'4 275 Mills 5'10 235 Smallwood 6'4 185 Lewallen 5'9 240 Osborne 5'9 185 Harp 5'6 175 Howington 5'9 190 These guys played the line for most of the night as far as I could tell.

Been looking at everything on here waiting to hear something about the scrimmage. Looks like both D's played well or both offenses weren't that good. Watkins broke on a 75 yard run and Taylor on about a 50 yard run. Harlan scored on a longer drive with the pass mixed in. Number 24 looked good for the Bears and the fullback had a nice game as well. Corbin never looks to show alot in scrimmages. Linebackers played well. I expect them to look much better once they unleash things a bit.
Bubba Wilson Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Intensity reflects leadership. Not sure about that but I will say, I think the Hounds have the talent. When this talent all decides to play as hard as they can then the results will be pleasing to all of us Hound fans. Not sure what the reason is for the " going thru the Motions" , but it will have to be corrected if the Hounds are going to advance deep in the playoffs. Of course, it is August and much improvement will take place between now and November. I also think Mitchell Fredrick could be a weapon for the Hounds if he was used on offense. I feel he is one of the better athletes on the field and could contribute in the backfield or perhaps as a WR. He maybe the secret weapon that the coaches are holding out til the right time.
DADDY CAT Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I just got in from this one. Both teams look like they still need some work, but looked OK. Season is young still. Corbin's running game was really the difference tonight. Looked good moving the ball.

Corbin's running game was really the difference tonight. Looked good moving the ball. How would you rate the Corbin passing attack? What about the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball? Two big plays resulted in scores for the Hounds. I did not see the long drives. With many players going both ways. You are right many things to improve on
DADDY CAT Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Passing is not anywhere near where it should be. It will have to come around. I did like there ground game. Backs looked good. Line play is a lot better than what I have been told it was. IF CHS will get it's passing game up to par, they will be looking good by district play. A few kinks in defense, but looked solid. Hounds broke on the ball well. HCHS has to work on their blocking. I saw a few bad exchanges in the backfield, too. I really can't say how good their passing attack will be, they seemed to be running the ball a lot. Their defense is going to have to lock down a lot more before their district starts. They face a lot of running teams in district and Corbin was running the ball straight at (and through) them. But, once again, the season is young. A lot of time to fix things. At least both teams have the tools they need to repair their shortcomings. That is why we have these scrimmages. It was a fun night down there.
