I like to see what is on the soundtracks for the new Madden and NCAA football games to use on football highlights. I also check out the other respective games for the other highlights that I do. Another way that I choose the music, I will ask the seniors what some of their favorite songs are and see if any of them "feel" right or "fit" the highlights. Another question though, what editing systems do you use or suggest? I use the Casablanca stand alone editing system.

I am not sure about his speed, but I know that he is strong. I saw him get hit by a 325 pound defensive lineman and keep his legs moving. He broke free from the lineman's arms and the lineman grabbed hold of his jersey. He dragged the 325 pound lineman for about 5 to 7 yards untill his jersey ripped. Then he ran another 60 yards for a touchdown. His legs are HUGE!!!

I am unfamiliar with a lot of the names on this list, but I did get to watch Breathitt County's Channing Fugate in person last weekend. He is the real deal. I sat in the stands surrounded by Mercer County fans that actually cheered when Fugate was tackled for a 40 yard gain (after running the opening kickoff back for a touchdown and his first carry of the game for a 45 yard touchdown). Now that is impressive!!!

I think this season looks good for the Lynn Camp Wildcats. The schedule seems to be pretty good with a heavy start to the year with Clay County, Whitley County, and Lexington Christian in the first three weeks. If Lynn Camp can come out of these three games healthy and confident, then the rest of the schedule is in their favor. Each game should be a hard fought contest for the rest of the year, but Lynn Camp shouldn't feel bad about their chances in any of the games. The numbers of players appear to be up and Spring Practice seems to be going well too. There are holes left from last years seniors but the younger players have already stepped up to fill some of them. There is a really good group of incoming freshmen and experienced sophomores. If they can stay HEALTHY (which is a concern for almost every team - but a REALLY HUGE one for the Wildcats the last couple of years), they should have a fun, productive year.

Lynn Camp's 2009 Schedule: Clay County @ Knox Central (Pioneer Bowl) Whitley County @ Lexington Christian Pineville Harlan Campbellsville @ Clinton County Williamsburg @ Berea @ McCreary Central

What is the old saying, "If there is smoke, there is usually fire!" If week after week, the refs are in "favor" of the same team, then why wouldn't the other teams complain. If it happens once or twice, I could almost see your (somewhat obnoxious, nose-in-the-air) point. But if it happens week after week after week, then there might be something to it. However, I think that whatever Williamsburg is doing, the shoudl keep doing it. If the refs aren't holding them to the same set of rules as everybody else, then why should they play by the rules. I think the blame falls on the refs.

The hits on Williamsburg's QB were LEGAL and all a part of the game. What do you call the hit on Wagner's knee FROM BEHIND after one of his punts??? Don't tell me that was accidental or legal!! That is trying to take someone out of the game!!!

I agree whole-heartedly with you Cat N The Hat, what about the numerous cheap shots that the Williamsburg players were taking on Lynn Camp's players. From pulling them down, to late hits, to hitting out of bounds, to shoving in the back, to trying to take out Wagner's knees. I think that Williamsburg's players showed no class whatsoever in this game, but the refs should have ended a lot of the extra curricular stuff with some flags. Now I can see why these two teams really do dislike each other so much.

If most of the HUGE calls were in his favor, why should he make excuses. I don't know what is in the water in Williamsburg, but it sure does something to the refs. This is the second game that I have seen in Williamsburg this year where, in my opinion, the refs have cost the visiting teams dearly. I think there that in the off-season there should be a HUGE emphasis on holding the refs accountable for their games.

Once again, I think it goes to the time the flags are thrown. The first series for Williamsburg, 4 and long, and there is a 'non-existent' 12th man on the field, flag on Lynn Camp, first down for Williamsburg. One of Lynn Camp's first series, 3rd and short, there is an obvious 'non-call" for pass interference - the defender never looked back for the ball, wrapped his arm around Sidney Wagner and even shoved him. Yet, there was no call. Two times the ball popped out of Williamsburg players' hands on the Lynn Camp side of the field, the official on Lynn Camp's side of the field drops his bean bag, and the official with the obstructed view on Williamsburg's sideline comes in and calls the ball down. This was a hard fought game on both sides, however, I do believe that every possible call that mattered went Williamsburg's way. I think this is another game that shows how much Kentucky needs to have some way that the refs are held accountable for their calls.

Actually, the points went to the last week of the season last year too. By beating Lynn Camp last year, Williamsburg forced the 3-way tie (sound vaguely familiar to anyone?). Then the next 2 weeks were important because of points. Lynn Camp lost both games to Hazard and Middlesboro and that allowed Williamsburg to take over first place. So, much like Williamsburg did last year, Lynn Camp must win to force a 3-way tie, and then take their destiny in their own hands. Lynn Camp's players and fans know that going into this game too and they are prepared.

I have only had the pleasure of dealing with Coach Wiseman the last couple of seasons, but it has truly been an honor. He seems to be a truly gracious coach and man with a true love for the game and his players. I am sure that he will land on his feet somewhere else where his talents will be appreciated. Not for nothing, but his schedule was brutal and his former school is still in the hunt for a home playoff game. The Best of Luck to you Coach.

Not for nothing, but does anybody know who the crew calling the game is going to be?

Great Job to Leslie County and their outstanding coaching staff and good luck for the rest of the year!
