Rob Hauswald without a doubt.

If officiating is going to be talked about then tell both sides. The Beechwood player fumbled the football on the one yard line, a Hazard player picked the ball up with nothing but 99 yards of open field in front of him, and the official blew the play dead. After a brief conversation, they awarded the ball to Hazard. That "may" have been a TD. So don't go one sided on the officials story.

Freddie Maggard from Cumberland in the mid to late 80s.

Tewayne Willis, an outfielder at Lincoln Memorial and formerly Perry Central High School, was drafted in the 28th round by the Chicago Cubs.

Is Hazard in the 3 Rivers Conference this year?

Jenkins can play with most of the 14th region teams with Puckett on the hill. If he can stay on the hill. He threw 130 plus pitches last night.

3. Best overall coaching job this year

Some great coaching this year. I go with Mark Dixon at Hazard also.

You guys have left Hazard out of the ratings. Why? They will be solid next year.

Estill Co. and Powell will be strong. Hazard, Perry, Letcher will be the next tier. Leslie, Lee and Breathitt Co. the next. Anything could happen amongst those 8 teams.

This game means more to PCC because they are playing against their former coach & PCC has had their full compliment of players 3 weeks longer. I am going with PCC in an old fashioned, high intensity environment. PCC by 3.

Might be a different story in January.

It's time for the student to become the teacher. Hazard in a close one.

When was his first year? 1983?

I haven't read this whole thread but I saw the talk about coaching records. My question is, what is Coach Holcombs record at Breathitt? He has done a great job there!!!!

Secondly, I hate to see either of these teams lose but I know the winner will bring the big trophy back from Louisville!!!!

Well DC picked against Hazard again. That is a good sign for Hazard. I think this one will be closer than the last time but the same outcome. Hazard will win.

Anything can happen in the playoffs and I know that Hazard's players know that. I expect a tough game and hopefully Hazard can pull it out. Hazard in the past has never been a cold weather team. After watching this years version, I think it may be a different story Friday night.

Hazard in a relatively close one.

I have to go with Pikeville in this one.

Already tired of this topic!!!!

Where is the game? I go with the home team. Don't know who that is.

Hazard is 10-0. They may not win the state, that remains to be seen. But they are undefeated. They have beaten 5A teams Letcher Central (9-1), Perry Central (7-3), and Clay Co. (5-5??). Lexington Christian, Lynn Camp, and Cumberland, all of whom were ranked in the top ten or higher at some point in the year. So do I think they will win it? Got as good a shot as anyone else. Do they deserve to be ranked #1? Yes. They have blown most of the teams they played out. They beat LCA 41-21 and could have beat them worse.

Denver "Smokey" Jones passed away Saturday at his home. Smokey was a lifelong umpier and referree in Eastern Kentucky. Smokey was also a member of the Kentucky High School Baseball Coaches Association's Hall of Fame. RIP Smokey.

Coach Dixon will get his boys ready. As for Cousin Mo, you can bet he is proud. Word is his team is pretty good in Georgia. Bunch of coaches in that family.

Great game. Perry is legit.

The last time I was at LC, I witnessed a group of LC fans arguing with a 70 year old fan that was confined to a wheelchair. I have heard all of these LC fans talk about how bad other fans act, but I will say the one and only time I was ever there, they were the worst.
