Appreciate the correction.

O Cath with a running clock!

This Fairdale team has struggled this year and seems to finally be buying in to what the staff is trying to teach. Unfortunately, I don’t believe it’s enough at this point. This BG team appears to be firing on all cylinders outside of the late loss to St X. BG rolls in this one! BG - 42 Fairdale- 14

I have seen many take a dig at the schedule but when you have about 300 kids K-12 and you have years that are up and down in numbers you can’t lock into a two year contract with the top teams in the state. Raceland gave highlands a solid game last year but got beat 40-0 this year and I don’t believe that is competitive play! Sayre is just in its 4th year on a varsity schedule and I believe some forget that just last year they were in a district with Pikeville and Hazard. How many coaches over reach in scheduling and it doesn’t allow for a program to withstand? Coach Pennington looks to be building a program to withstand those low years and to still be competitive in these early years of this program. If the Spartans find a way to upset the Rams are we still going to be talking about strength of schedule or will we finally talk about 11 vs 11 and how teams matchup? Strength of schedule was the issue vs Bethlehem and Paris and Sayre handled both of them pretty easily. I also need someone to help me with an history lesson and understanding why Raceland fans talk like they are Pikeville? Raceland has yet to win the big one and has only been to the show once according the history books. Sounds to me like there is some worry going up against a team that’s only 7 years existing as a program! Pikeville has won 7 times and has proven they are a force in Class A just because they escaped with a 7-6 victory doesn’t mean that Pikeville isn’t going to be sitting on the other side waiting for the winner of this game.

I use that game because it is hard to judge growth for Corbin based off the games to follow! They beat JC easily but the following were blowout wins. How do you gauge growth of a team when the schedule presents itself as soft! This has been the issue for other teams on this site people focus so heavily on the strength of schedule. I am sure Corbin has improved but just as you stated that it was earlier in the season Douglass has improved since as well! Boyle has beat LCA, Scott Co, Lex Cath, and Douglass at this point. All of those teams have been considered top tier in their perspective classes. To this point Corbin has beat Catholic and Douglass the later part of this schedule is soft. The theatrics of the NIL deals and things may fool some but there is still 48 mins of football to be played and I just don’t see them beating Boyle at this point!

The one game that stands out to me is the common game with FD! Corbin struggled while Boyle rolled! Coach Haddix is looking to add some more hardware to that heavy hand! I think Boyle wins this one in a dog fight! Boyle- 21 Corbin- 17

I said it at the beginning of the season and l will say it again. I believe Cov Cath is the team to beat! Cov Cath rolls! Cov Cath - 35 JC - 14
-
Douglass was able to matchup with the big name schools last year I don’t see it this year! I think Male is the best team in 6A and it’s theirs to lose! Male - 42 FD- 24

I’ll be THAT guy! Give me the Spartans in an upset! The Spartans find a way to get it done late! Sayre - 38 Raceland- 35
-
They didn’t believe you! Make sure you tell those guys on rivals too!

This game could change the semifinals. If Bethlehem were to win it could send the winner of Raceland/Paris/Sayre on the road to Pikeville.

I am taking Lawrence still puzzled about this Rockastle team and how good they really are. LC- 28 Rock- 24
-
Beechwood quickly! I don't see this one being close.
-
I imagine this will be an amazing atmosphere Friday! I think T secures the win easily as they did in the first contest! Trinity - 42 X - 14
-
Ryle by 2 TD's.
-
Blue Birds roll in fashion!
-
The A-Team gets the win! Coach White and staff have these boys rolling! Atherton - 28 Butler- 7
-
Bell in probably the second-best game of the week.
-
This game should be interesting with the rematch! I think KCD pulls away late in the game for the win!
-
Let’s be realistic outside of Raceland and Rockastle these schedules aren’t that much different! Give me the Spartans in what will be an upset based on how this is being portrayed!
-
Doesn’t this school have decent facilities? I thought they had an indoor and all?

I am also on this side of the argument. What about a team that has a great run one year and those kids have no chance to win in the second round but they have to give up that first round game that they have a chance to win. Playoff wins build into a program especially for a coach in his early years of turning a program around. Imagine if those three teams in two years were in the first round of the playoffs they would want the opportunity to create a level of success and build for the future. If a deadline has been established then as long as you indicate before the deadline there is no punishment and is accepted just like in the case for Pendleton and Ballard Memorial. Trimble missed that deadline and therefore should be penalized. We see this too often with small schools but I agree this is clear early in the season. Your program knows if you have low numbers and if you truly pay attention to your program you should have a gauge on your possible outcomes.

Was told it was over who had the better Mexican restaurant in town. I believe the bearcat faithfuls didn’t appreciate the hate against La Isla! Yeah, I am not going to be that guy! Congrats to Anderson on the hard fought win and good luck on the journey to the old ball coach! I hope everyone traveled across the street after and celebrated!
