Final. Panthers hold on for a big district win.

Nice win there for the Panthers. Anybody have any details on this one?

I was listening to the game on the way home from MCHS-Russell. West had evidently scored late on a quick drive to bring the Comets within 3, but the Panther defense held West Carter on downs with a sack or two on their final possession. No other details.

Weird Russell pounds FC and just gets by WC.

Congratulations to Fleming County. Both of these teams are pretty talented. Assuming all goes as expected, this means Fleming gets to visit the loser of Belfry-Sheldon Clark in the first round of the playoffs while West Carter gets to visit the winner of that game.

Russell's win over Fleming was sort of like tonight's Mason-Russell game...the snowball effect. Russell's Travis Jones returned the opening kickoff for a TD. I think Fleming fumbled the ball. Jones ran it in again. Every time you looked up, Fleming was either fumbling or allowing Jones to tear off another long gain. Fleming County got it togther in the 2nd half and played Russell well. It was too late, though.

 

West Carter is a good team, too. Again, they just had a bad 1st quarter against Russell, giving up a quick 14 points. They got things together a little faster than Fleming, though, not allowing Russell another point the rest of the game.

 

Both of these teams are decent teams with the potential to be good teams if they execute well. If Mason County lets down, either Fleming or West Carter has enough good athletes to be able to pull off a momumental upset. It would require some considerable Mason County mistakes, though.
