Man this lone oak team has me confused, get slaughtered by Paducah Tilghman, and then come back and give Christian Co. all they want, very impressive night for the Flash!

The Lone Oak-Tilghman was an anomaly. Lone Oak lost two key players two days before the game and had to deal with all the attention that came with it. Then, once things started to go bad, everything snowballed on them.

 

Lone Oak has had three weeks to regroup and work on some things, and it's showing. They may still be a factor in 4A in the west before the season is done, but there are a lot of capable teams standing in their way.

Congrats Colonels!

Fun game to watch. County had a chance to open the game up but fumbled twice around the 5 yard line in the first quarter. Give lone Oak credit for playing a very spirited game. They were the most physical team Christian has played this year. Very big upfront and hard to move those big guys in the middle. Lone Oak will match up very well with Madisonville and should be a great game later in the year.

I am impressed also with the way Lone Oak is now playing. I wasn't for sure if they would be able to compete with Madisonville, but it now I feel that will be another good game in western kentucky.

Lone Oak led 21-14 going into the fourth quarter, but a big interception on a screen pass inside the 5 was returned for a touchdown that gave Christian the lead. Lone Oak's defense seemed to wear down a little in the fourth quarter, and Christian found something they could attack ... Christian had more than 100 yards on the ground in the last quarter and about 80 before that.

 

Christian had three turnovers, all fumbles, and Lone Oak had two. Turned out to be a closer game than some people expected. Lone Oak is playing several underclassmen and had a freshman run one in for a TD and a sophomore run a kickoff back for a TD. A freshman corner bit when Christian's QB scrambled and got burnt on a long TD pass.
