Wow...what a game!:scared: In an absolute barn-burner, Hazard came from behind to defeat a much improved Perry Central team 22-20 thanks to a 38 yard Hail Mary from Tyler Olinger to Alex Hall with 3 seconds left on the clock! The pass was storybook perfect and the catch was, also! After a dismal second half, due to rain and a wet field, the Bulldogs showed what they are made of and came away with a sweet victory in the rivalry match of the year! Best wishes to the Commodores for the rest of their season and congratulations to the Bulldogs...a team that never gave up! Thanks for the memories, Bulldogs!!:dancingpa

It's true. If you go on the KHSAA site they explain how it is done. They use the number of boys in the school since girls rarely if ever play football. I believe the other sports use total enrollment.

I understand Hazard is preparing to install artifical turf at Daniel Field as part of a makeover of their football facility. This is really exciting and I am sure it will give the team an added boost as part of defending their home turf during games. The guys are working hard with weights and spring practice and by August will be ready to take it all the way to Louisville for the finals in Class A! Go Bulldogs!!

Congratulations to Hazard on a fine season. I also believe the officiating left a lot to be desired and wonder what will ever be done about it. It seems it goes down hill every year. Nevertheless, Hazard represented the 14th region well and all their team returns except for Josh Combs (No. 2) who is a reserve guard. Hopefully, we will mature, play wiser and be able to return to represent the 14th region again next year! Best of luck, Bulldogs! Now, on to spring football!!

Refs are human...therefore, they make mistakes. Nevertheless, I felt two games out of 15 were very poorly called, that being the Hazard/Shelby Co. game and the Paintsville/Holmes game. There were many missed calls, and during the Hazard game the majority of the fans in the arena booed a call made in the final minute that could have completely turned the game around in Hazard's favor. How do we change this? I don't know. I have written to KHSAA in the past to voice complaints but have never even received confirmation that they received the letter. I have also heard they are begging people in the state to become qualified to referee, but are not receiving much interest from the general public. I do know one thing...when it's over, it's over, so there isn't anything we can do to change the outcome!

Divadawg will be there for all 15 games...but especially supporting the 14th Region Champion Hazard Bulldogs!!

It appears this will be a real barn burner. Hazard (30-4) and South Laurel (27-7) have only played two common opponents--Clay County and Breathitt County, and both Haz and SL won these games. There is no doubt that SL has a fine team, but Hazard is also road tested. I believe the fact Coach Whitaker and his son, Josh, are both very familiar with this team, will be in our favor. Also, Hazard's defense has improved as the season has gone along and our bench is very deep (at least 10 deep without losing much quality). For these reason, I have to give Hazard the edge by 5 points! Go Bulldogs!!:banana:

Actually, Lightening, it will be the 4th time they have met this season! Go Bulldogs!!

This game should be a barn burner! I would love to see Bryant Station pull it out and advance to the Sweet Sixteen! This region is becoming more and more intimidating. In the past everyone dreaded the Louisville regions because of their quality of teams but it appears the 10th is rapidly becoming the one to reckon with! May the best team win!

I believe our dogs can pull it off but it will be a real struggle! I am sure PCC will try to control the tempo and slow it down like they did tonight with PCC. We will have to bring our best game out for this confrontation, but the dogs will back up their bark with their bite! Hazard by 5! Go Bulldogs!!

Final Go Bulldogs!!:dancingpa

Never doubt it...our dogs will be ready!! Go Bulldogs!!

I believe our Bulldogs will stay focused and use their stingy defense to pull this one out with about a ten point margin! Go Bulldogs!!

I believe the correct score is actually 82-54.

Estill was up by 6 points with less than 30 seconds to play and had a player (who had hit 16 of 16 freethrows tonight) on the line. Not sure of the final score, but Estill won.

At the end of the third quarter, Estill Co 49 - Jackson City 49!

Thanks LeeCoBobcatFan. We appreciate your kind words and hope we continue to live up to your praises! Go Bulldogs!

The Hazard Bulldogs came out ready to play tonight and used their stingy defense to tame the Cordia Lions! Coach Holland used our bench to keep fresh legs and we managed to hold the lions to only 8 points in the first quarter. We led 32 to 20 at half and then put on the finshing touches in the last quarter! I would like to congratulate Coach Honeycutt and his lions on their fine season and wish them nothing but the best in their future! Go Bulldogs!!

Final

I believe the Bulldogs will pull this one off in spite of the fact the Lions have a fine starting five. Their problem lies in their bench, or lack thereof. I take Hazard by about 8. Go Bulldogs!!

Final:banana:

Seems to me I remember just a few weeks ago when the PCC faithful were calling for Hatcher's head on a platter and pushing to give the coaching duties to their assistant coach. Now you believe he is the best coach in the region? How quickly you all forget. As far as home court advantage, I feel coach Holland has about as much home court down advantage down there as the PCC people do, seeing as how we will bring a large fan base and be just as energized as the PCC fans. Also, I believe we have won every game we have played down there thus far this season. I know this will be a barn burner for a while, but I really believe Hazard's bench will prevail over a much more shallow PCC one. Go Bulldogs!

This should be a real battle between two cross-town rivals. The Bulldogs have had a great season, now 26-4, and have beaten PCC twice already. However, at tournament time you can never take anything for granted. PCC will be loaded for bear-dawg, and they have been playing much better as the season has progressed. Also, it is hard to beat any team three times in one season. Nevertheless, I believe Hazard's bench will be the difference, and the dogs will come out victorious once again. We must stay focused and play smart! Go Bulldogs!

Congratulations Bulldogs on a fine victory over a challenging Buckhorn team. I felt our boys played well tonight and our depth proved to be Buckhorn's undoing. We kept fresh legs while Buckhorn simply couldn't keep up. Justine Jones played one of his best games of the season and the two handed dunk was awesome, and Michael Campbell also put on a good show. Now, we move on the Perry Central, a team that we have beaten twice this year already, and will be playing them on their home court. We need to stay focused and play smart and I believe we can take care of business! Go Bulldogs!

It's important for Hazard to remain focused and play smart ball in this game tonight in order to advance to the regional. Maybe JBS's loss will make them realize no one is a shoe-in when it comes to tournament play. I believe our dogs can win if they play team ball. Go Bulldogs!!!
