I believe the bid for the 4A crown is a two-horse race in Boyle and Bell County. They look to be at the top of the class this year.

Knight Time there are some others that need to be considered also. I'm sure Bell thinks the same "Never count out Catholic". There are also some other teams that are making a case. Marion County made one tonight. No one gave Bullitt East a chance last year. 4A has more than 2 teams.

I listened to the game on 105.1 and at one point in the second quarter, Boyle ran only 6 plays with 4 touchdowns.

I definitely agree that it is still early, but Catholic just doesn't seem to have it this year. I know we're 2-0, but Whitley beat themselves in the 4th and CovCath is still in a down year. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. It should be a good year.

Sounds like Mcshara had a awesome game. I was suprised by the points that Rockcastle put up on Boyle. I know that they got a late td but still didn't think that they would score more than one.

Their first TD was set up by a fumble return to the Boyle 16.

 

The second was a score with :02 left in the first half. It made it 28-15.

 

The final score was with 4:30 left in the game.

 

Rockastle had 80 yards rushing on 42 carries.

140 yards passing

Thanks Hatz I didn't know any of the stats it doesn't look like a very good offensive output byt the Rockets.

From what I gathered they had a good first quarter and that was it. Once Boyle exploded it was over.

Boyle looks like they are the team to beat in 4A. Nice win!

I think so too:thumb:

Good job of Offense Cord, and O-Line with adjustment. Rees :notworthy: you are the man. WOW :thumb:

Rockcastle's problem last night was a combination of too much McShara, (heck of a runner) playing ironman football with Boyle County having pretty much two teams going in and out, and, some hinky refereeing in the first half. (Rockcastle was called for six or seven of their eight penalties in a row in the first half). The penalties stalled three drives in the first half in which Rockcastle was chipping away two to four yards at a time. A ten or fifteen yard penalty was just too much to overcome for them against a stiff defense. You could see the boys tiring in the game with Boyle fresh where they were switching out on offense and defense. I think without McShara in the game, it would have been a very different ballgame. That kid must have rockets in his backside, he was tough last night. The hinky refereeing seemed to settle down a bit in the second half, with calls going both ways. But it caused a long run for the Rockets to be called back in the first half that would have possibly been Rockcastle second score with Boyle not having scored yet. I'm sure that they made the calls that they saw and maybe our boys made six or seven straight penalties, but one pass interference call with the defenders hands straight up in the air and him not touching Boyle's receiver just before halftime, (I know for a fact this one stunk) was hinky. Congrats Boyle, your boy McShara is the real deal. I think Rock will get the ship righted and come around with some hard work and a little luck (staying healthy) and Boyle (with a healthy McShara and that killer linebacker) will contend this year.

some hinky refereeing in the first half.

 

 

Penalties for the game :

Rockcastle 8-98 Boyle 7-51

 

* Boyle had 1 touchdown called back in the first half

Yes, this is true. That penalty was the second one for the Rebels in the game that called back that touchdown. The first was the first play of the game for illegal procedure. The one that called back the touchdown was the second, just before the halftime horn. There was at least 22 minutes of game clock where only Rockcastle was penalized. Rockcastle had at least six maybe seven in between with three of those penalties stopping drives. Rockcastle also proved that they could drive the ball just before halftime and before the boys were worn down. I'm not taking anything away from a good Boyle County team, but, only stating my opinion that when the pendelum of penalties swung the other way in the second half, the damage was done and Rockcastle was behind by three or four touchdowns at the end of the second quarter. Rockcastle's only chance of winning that game was to control the ball and keep it out of McShara's hands. No matter how many penalties against Boyle in the second half, after being down by three touchdowns, Rockcastle was worn down and probably wasn't coming out of the hole.

Does anyone know the time of possession difference. Rockcastle did keep the ball for the majority of the game and it did limit the carries Rees had. It's just that every time he touched the ball it was a touchdown. Boyle only ran like 8 total plays in the 2nd and 3rd quarter. The flag on Boyle to end the half was about 15 yards behind the play it looked from where I was standing, so I am not sure what happened. As for the pass interference it was the correct call. The defender had his back to the ball and ran straight towards the WR with his hands up and bumped him before the ball got there.
