No, it was 22-12 at the half!

Sorry my bad I forgot about the score at the end of the half.

My the opposite directions these two programs have went in the past several years.

This score is more what I expected. Does anyone have numbers on Roark and Watts?

Congratulations to McCreary Central

Makes for interesting match up with knox next week!

Roark had 127 yards on 16 carries with 2 TD's (and he was just getting over being sick earlier in the week so he was about 80%)

 

Watts had 146 yards on 18 carries 2 TD's plus a 74 yard kick off return for a TD. (total all purpose yards 220 and 3TD's)

 

2 other people scored for us as well including 1 JV TD.

 

Total offense for the night 334 yards.

I agree. I think that they might beat Knox next week. Where is that game at? Great win for McCreary congrats on still being undefeated:thumb:

Didn't expect this big of a win. Leslie is going to have to pick things up or it is going to be a long year over in Hyden.

I talked to one of the officials and he said that McCreary was a different team in the 2nd half. Not sure what the coaching staff said or put in the kids water at the half, ... but it worked.

 

McCreary is another one of those good stories this season.

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think they have won more than 3 games in a season have they? They are already proving to be the best team in school history and the season isn't half way over yet. Terrific story!

They have won 5 a couple of times. This team should eclipse this easily. These boys have been winners at every level of play and it is carrying over at the high school.

I would agree that winning is a learned habbit just like losing. However, there has been success at the middle school level during many years and people of the county has always asked why McCreary wins at the middle school level and not the high school level. Well, these boys have answered that question, it's the off-season work ethic. This group has had a great work ethic with off-season strength and conditioning. We started as soon as the season was over all the way through summer and had 25 to 30 kids everyday only took the 2 dead period weeks off). In the past we would average 7 or 8 and the 25 or 30 worked hard didn't just show up. McCreary has always had good athletes but they have never been strong enough to compete. But these guys got s lot stronger pumping iron and a lot quicker with plyometrics. My advise for the young Raiders (and any other young football player) you become a good or even great program in the weight room during the off-season working together as a team to get stronger and quicker. Hopefully our young guys will realize this and our off-season strength and conditioning program will even be better next off-season!
