Final from McCreary. After seeing Taylor County last season I did not expect them to beat, let alone shutout McCreary. This is not a good sign for the Raiders.

I am waiting on a game report from cellking, House of Pain before I comment. But I will say that the 8 win season just took a big hit.

Well I will say that my game prediction was definately wrong but HB no one said the Raiders WOULD win 8 games it was said that there was 8 winnable games and even though the Raiders lost this game it was a winnable game.

 

Now to it, the Raiders played better defense then I thought they would only giving up 1 TD via a pass play in the 1st half and pretty much shutting Taylor Co down the rest of the 1st half. However, I was shocked at the lack of offense as the Raiders didn't seem to have any continuity so they couldn't sustain a drive. The Raiders O-line played pretty good but all night the offense seemed to be just one step behind Taylors defense. In the 2nd half Taylor had two big plays and that was about it. The two teams seemed to be evenly matched with Taylor making the big plays. I was proud of the Raider players as they played hard, played with pride and they never gave up. Keep working hard guys and keep listening to your coaches and it will all come together!

The Raiders likely saved Taylor from a no win season last night. Looking at Taylors schedule this could be their only win and they shut you out 21-0. Looking ahead to next week, Pineville got drilled by North Laurel who you guys have as another game the Raiders can win. Maybe I am wrong, but I dont see you beating Pineville, and that bodes very badly for your matchup with North.

 

As for the teams being very evenly matched up HOP, I dont think I would say that after losing on your home field on opening night 21-0.

 

Now we await cellkings game summary. Also the Casey win aint happening. The played Simon Kenton tough last night, 14-7 at the half and even the Simon Kenton fans were talking about how good Casey is. Sorry Banker but that will cancel what you call a successful season.

Heartbreaker I am sure your opinion of an evenly matched game that you were not at is more accurate than mine. LoL! There is no doubt that I am biased towards McCreary as I teach those kids and have coached mist of them in football and do coach many of them in wrestling but I still try to give my best opinion. The Raiders have some great athletes and just need to keep working on fundamentals and the rest will take care of itself! Go Raiders!

HOP I applaud you for your support of the kids. Wish there were more like you. That still don't change facts.

Taylor County will win 2-3 more games this year. Mark it down. The rest of their non-district schedule includes Hart County, Breckinridge County, Barren County, Campbellsville and Casey County. Outside of Campbellsville, who will be far more superior athletically, Taylor County will match up very well personell wise when it comes to the others that I mentioned. Don't be shocked to see them win 3 of those 5 non district games.

Good Luck.

Good Luck.

 

I'm a 100%, totally unbiased observer.

 

However, I'll be the guy at the end of October that said I told you so.

 

3-8 or 4-7 at best. Take it to the bank.

No I am not taking a shot at Taylor. I really meant good luck, now if that had been HOP or cellking you could have took it the other way, lol.

So you admit you take shots at me.............I knew it all along. LoL!

Taylor is a little better this year than most people think. New Head man was a college coach for years. HOP sounds like the Raiders played hard and gave it their best. No shame in that.

So you admit you take shots at me.............I knew it all along. LoL!

 

All in fun HOP, All in fun.

Yep that's probably why I added the LoL!

I am still waiting on cellkings rehash of this game.Would also like to hear from the Banker of the South on this one. :thumb:
