I havent been there in quite a few years but Shelby Valley had a really nice facility!!

Two points on this situation: 1. Sometimes the coach on the bad side of a lopsided score can be to blame. I remember one time years ago we were up 66-0 early in the third and we practically had the cheerleaders in but the young coach on the other side kept right on throwing the ball not taking a minute off the clock when he had the ball and threw 4 interceptions, 2 returned for td's against our freshmen. What are you to do? On the offensive side, we just poked our fullback in there 3 times and punted but that didnt always work. I refuse to punt on first down. I think that is even more humiliating than the score! I saw the same situation one year that Pineville was playing a second year program. Both these games were before the running clock! 2. These type games really skew your stats. We had a tb that had rushed for over 1500 yards in his jr and soph seasons and we were in one of these blowout situations. The lowest output of yardage this rb's senior year was this game. He had 160 some yards on only 6 carries and, in retrospect, it really wasnt fair to not let him have 3 or 4 more carries in the first half but I was simply ashamed to give him the ball. It also skews your defensive stats. It is demoralizing to your defensive unit to hold a good team to one score or scoreless and then allow 3 or 4 scores by an inferior team when we have freshmen in and they are still using their first bunch. We had an undefeated regular season in the 90's and the most points by far that we gave up was to the same team I mentioned earlier. I know stats dont matter but you know as well as I do that it matters to the kids!

Although I think Corbin wins this one, Hazard could cause them a lot of problems. This a an interesting match-up!!

Having a kicker that can put in the end zone consistently is a real weapon in high school. Making a team go 80 yards everytime you kick off is an extreme asset.

Ouch!! Imnot surprised at the outcome but the score is surprising.

Larkey did the classy thing. The score could have been worse!!

:lol::lol:

About what year did the coaches grading the officials after the game stop? At least a coach had a vehicle to voice an opinion.

And from the look at sky outside. it looks like the beginning of "Katrina"(No disrespect to anyone who endured that tradjedy). But seriously,it looks like rain!!

Even though this is only thr 2cd game, it is crucial for the Bears to have the type of season they want. I'll take the Bears by 3 scores!! A loss hear would be, for lack of a better word, "Bad"!!

Although I think the Dragons may be out manned at a couple of spots, I'll pick with my heart and take the Dragons 24-21!!

Harlan County 35 to Lee,Va 0. Im predicting a shut out by the Bears this week! Good Luck to the Bears!!!

Nail on the head!! And they dont watch games on tv anymore...they only watch highlights.::thumb:

This is not meant to be a "smart Alec" question but, what happened to Fort Knox? When I was in school (grad in 82), FK was one of the elite programs. I know everyone has lean years but FK has really dropped off. Again, no disrespect intended.

They lost 2 4 or 5 years ago to Maryville(4A champs) and Knox Fulton(3a champs). They went on to win 2A.

It must have been a Cole...we are all kinda curious looking!

You seldom need assistance but, as always, my phone, door, and email are open to you any time!:thumb:

Dang HDE, I thought I was your biggest fan on BGP but I may be wrong. It looks like I have slipped to #2! Oh well, what can a man do? Isaac, Im hearing that you guys are getting a new coach hired tommorrow. Heard anything about it?

Dont hold anything back, HDE......tell us what you really think!

I remember those days well. I have been amazed that nobody died during our practices. "Water makes you weak" was the slogan we constantly heard. I remember passing out more than once. We had a o-line coach one year that used to make us push an old Crouthers sled until somebody "puked.":puke:
