Mama Bear

If two of our backs are healthy, that were out last week, we will win this one. Surely Hilton wouldn't risk an injury to Carton in a JV game even if he were ready to play?

I think I saw Chris up in the crow's nest last night with a head set on with Coach Morris.

Congrats to Rockcastle!

First win ever! Congrats to the boys and the coaching staff! Best of luck on the remainder of Lynn Camps season! You have some BIG youngin's over there!! It was good to see some of the younger Bears take the field tonight! On to the next game.....

New Harlan came out on top over Letcher Central! 8-6. Coach Howard and Coach Larkey got to witness a battle between two really good mountain middle school football teams. I'd say they were both smiling when they left. :thumb:

I'm hoping to get my money's worth again tonight. I'd like to see slobbering, knocking, jaw-jacking, and lots of brain dusting!!:banana: We need a win boys! :dancingpa GO BLACK BEARS!

Looks like I'm gonna need some more gas money.

I want to see the bears win big, but I don't want us to be like, dare I say it, Mercer Co. I think Coach Larkey has way too much class for anything like that to happen. PLUS Lynn camp has a solid football program. I am torn with wanting to see the Bears demolish somebody and not wanting to flex our muscles too much with a smaller school. I guess I just don't hate Lynn Camp.:cry: Sorry Campers, we need this win.

Best of luck to your team DADDY CAT. I'm hoping, as you are, to see a good game of mountain football. We appreciate Lynn Camp for even playing. Games this year have been difficult to come by. It speaks volumes of your coach and team for playing a much larger school. I hope both teams play to their full potential and everyone stays healthy!!!! Of course I'd like to see my Bears win this one, we're 0-1. We need a win.

Coach Larkey will no doubt have our boys ready for this one. They could have hung their heads when LCC got ahead and showed heart fighting to the end. I guess what I'm talking about is, I'd like to see just a tad bit more FIRE. They did seem a little worn toward the end, but they were battling a very very good LCC team and I mean it was a battle. Two or three weeks into the season this game may have had a different outcome. As for next Friday, I think Lynn Camp won't know what hit them. This won't be a walk in the park, but I think that we Harlan County fans will get to see what we've been looking for!! I can think of three or four kids right off hand that play both sides of the ball. I'd say this week in practice that if there are any boys wanting a little more playing time, then this week may be the time to show their stuff and throw down! The Bears are in shape, so I don't know exactly what the problem was. Whatever it is, our coaching staff will fix it!:thumb: GO BLACK BEARS!

They better come out with something to prove. I'm afraid with all this peace, love, and unity that we've all been preaching thru this consolidation process, they are lacking the enthusiasm and fire that drives them. The need to get mad about it.:fight: I'd like to see them get a little more pep in their step. I'd like to see them just cut loose and play that smash mouth football that we all know they are capable of. :fight:

That was a great game. I'm glad to get that first game under our belt and move forward. Time to get ready for Lynn Camp! Three Things: 1. We want a field and stadium as nice as LCC's!! 2. We need bleachers on both sides of the field!!!!!! (The lil "lady" sitting behind us didn't like having all those HCHS fans standing and cheering for our team when we were ahead. We are a vocal group!) 3. WE HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE JUMBOTRONS! Awesome.:thumb: Let's just back up there tonight and play again. That was a blast.

Congrats to Rockastle..... and to tater.

Hats off to LCC. Young Charlie is the real deal. I was so proud of my bears tonight. They never gave up and had opportunity to win the game. Down by 3, 35-32, with about 3 minutes left and the ball in our hands. Dropped two well placed passes. Passes that WILL be caught later in the season. I think we proved ourselves tonight. We battled to the end with a very good Letcher County Central team. Best of luck to LCC the rest of the season. As for the rest of our schedule.......the Black Bear Nation is a force to be reckoned with. Letcher's facilities are top notch and we were all treated with plenty of mountain hospitality.

I'm with ya on this! Whatever happens tonight, we will learn and grow!!!! Sure would be nice to win though. Go Black Bears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:dancingpa

GO DYLAN! I ain't forgot about him! He's as tough as he is fast!:dancingpa

:sleep: I'm too tired.....I don't think I'll go tonight......:sleep: YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm ready to go!!!:banana: :ylsuper: :walk:

What about the Larkey factor?

The future for Black Bear football is bright. These younger boys LOVE it! The excitement of this new program will hopefully keep our numbers up in elementary and middle school so that we can feed the high school some quality athletes. I agree that this Freshmen team will refuse to lose. That's a great class!

I like what the Harlan Daily Enterprise had on their football preview...."The Black Bear BRotherhood". We're coming for ya cougars!!:dancingpa

The only number Harlan Co. is concerned about is the score at the end of the game. THe only number Letcher should be worried about is the 11 on the field.:fight:

What affect will the weather have on this game, if any?

I ain't driving across Whitesburg Mountain to lose!!! Go Black Bears!:banana: Grillzilla can't make it to this game, perhaps next time. I expect a HUGE crowd, a lot of running, and a lot of scoring. I'll take dabears: 35-23 We have dandy kicker!
