I guess the Blackout beat the Red out....any stats?

Sometimes a team just beats themselves.

So Corbin beat Corbin, not P-Burg, does that mean that Corbin advances too? No P-Burg may have had something to do with all those turnovers which would give them the credit.

That's why thase games are always played on the field, not on paper. You then end up with a final score, and the team with the higher score at the end of the game wins. :thumb: But I feel certain that you're already aware of this.

No, I believe the red came out first..... :lol:

Nice job Blackcats :thumb:

 

Keep it going and bring home the hardware.

 

I'd love to hear how this one played out, it was 7-7 last I heard.

Corbin had more offensive production by 20-30 yds.. 95% of the Hound's came from the run, whereas 95% of the Blackcat's came through the air.

 

This game is a great example of the biggest problem with the "3 yds. and a cloud of dust" play style. Even if an offense averages 4-5 yds./rush, it takes 12 or more plays to get across the goal line. Here's the point: it's far more likely something BAD (penalty or fumble) will mess the drive up than scoring the TD.

 

The Prestonsburg defense is designed to take away big plays, both on the ground and in the air. Other than Watkins' (?) completion of a pretty HB option pass (which lead to Corbin's only score), it was very successful in surrendering NO big gainers (>15 yds) all night.

 

Prestonsburg's offense took more than a quarter to get untracked. Burchett was off-target in the first quarter, and the receivers dropped a few open passes in the 2nd. It improved later in the 2nd and the Blackcats put together some nice completions to take the lead. Corbin's secondary was quick to the ball and did a good job minimizing yards gained after completions, however.

 

P-burg's 2nd half scoring play was pure good luck. The Blackcats had the ball at the Corbin 10. The Hound defender made a nice break on an out pattern, but the ball bounced off his hands and into the hands of the P-burg receiver. Another 3 points came thanks to a great hustling play during a kickoff towards the end of the first half. A squib kick (after P-burg's 2nd TD) sent the ball to around the 20 yd. line. Craynon (#25 for P) beat the receiving team to the ball. Prestonsburg ended up kicking a 37 yd. FG.

 

 

Score at the half: 17-7

Final: 23-7

Goodness, toots... my memory's not that good. Some highlights are in my post above. But...

 

You missed a very good ballgame. Prestonsburg was able to string together enough completions to put the ball in the endzone 3 times. A great KO play at the end of the first half led to a 37 yd. FG to make it 17-7 at the half. The 2nd half was mostly a defensive struggle. P-burg stopped Corbin twice on 4th down attempts (a 4th and 2 at the P 40, and a 4th and 6 at the P 30). Prestonsburg scored after the 4th and 2 stop, I believe.

 

Neither the Corbin fumbles or INT's led to P-burg scores, however the fumbles stopped two Corbin drives. One of the INT's was a poor decision by the Hound QB (threw into dbl coverage), but it occurred near midfield and led to no Blackcat points. The other INT ended the first half.

Congratulations Blackcats.

:thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

Burchett was somewhat off in the 1st qtr. onei, but he had 6-8 dropped balls around +/-30 yds, and half were easy catches even while on the run, whether running out of the pocket to the left or right, and could very easily have added another 3-4 TD's as accurately as he was throwing the ball. I hope we can look for more of the same, with the receivers making those catches from here on out since he's finally combined his accuracy while on the move. And, to coin the old automotive term, "fluid-drive" is where he now appears to be with his passing, and it's up to his receivers to do their part.:thumb:

Could not said any better:thumb:

With Corbin's style of play you can't afford to give the ball up 7 times and expect to win 3 fumbles(Fritz,Taylor,Squib kick)2 INT's(Mitchell,Watkins)and stopped on 4th down 3 times. I thought the Corbin defense played well enough to win but the offense just couldn't get things going. In an earlier post it said the TO's didn't lead to any P'burg points but I say it did because twice after P'burg stopped Corbin on 4th down attempts they went down and scored touchdowns and then they kicked a FG after recovering squib kick before halftime. That was 16 points off of TO's and that was the difference in the game. P'burg stopped Corbin on 4th and 1 around the 30 with about 3:00 left before halftime. P'burg then scored 10 points in 3:00 which took the wind out of Corbin's sails.
