Lion pride 89

South central (Somerset) it gonna be sunny about 75 degrees at game time perfect night for football.

Somerset should win this one by at least 3 scores.

I agree Carl kris Hughes only got 3 touches out of the backfield last night he did catch a couple of nice balls last night but they were trying to get some other kids some reps but when the season starts he is going to be the go to man. I thought Somerset run defense looked good but pass defense got caught watching a few times.

I would probably switch LCA and Somerset. LCA lost a lot last year Somerset returns A lot it will be hard to replace Kam Hughes but his brother Kris will be a junior had 732 yds rushing and 515 receiving as a sophomore he is a big back and should fill the hole nicely. Their defense it going to be stout their OL and DL are pretty much intact from last season. Combine that with some really good freshman and sophomores by seasons end I can see them with a similar season as last year maybe with a couple more wins but state semifinals again.

Somerset and Pc have played 3 times this season Somerset winning 2 of the 3. It goes back to the old saying it’s hard to beat a team 3 times in a season. DCA had beat Somerset 2 times this season should be a good game

I can promise you he is the real deal this will be the best team mayfield has played. Last week he hit every receiver perfect in stride anywhere he wanted to put it he can also run. I will say this if he has a game like last week I think OC will win by 2-3 scores.

Somerset is having breakfast pot luck tomorrow they practice from 9-1030 and eat afterwards it is open to all coaches parents and alumni.

I think Kam Hughes from Somerset deserves some ink he has 1899 rushing yards on 208 Carries and 255 yards receiving he also has 80 tackles and 6 interceptions. He also punts with a 48 yard punt average.

I just don’t like to run my mouth until after we win it brings bad mojo I think getting on here crowing about how bad you gonna beat somebody. Like I said they are the #1 team I think if we give maximum effort and a couple breaks we can win. Kam Hughes will cause them problems on offense and nobody talkes about him on Defense but he is probably better or just a s good as he in on offensive. I do thin Somerset has big advantage in the coaching dept not knocking OC coaches but clevenger has been in this situation many times as player and coach and he is very good at coming up with a plan good enough to win if they can execute the plan is the question.

Somerset does have fast DL and very fast safety we are defiantly the underdog. Hoping for the best but satisfied either way

Don’t get out over your skies they may win but running clock idk about that Somerset defense is pretty good they have lost 3 games by a total 9 points atwell is having a hell of a year no doubt about it but Somerset IMO is very underrated and over looked their QB Bruner does a good job running the game he has 1487 passing yards and 324 yard rushing . Kam Hughes has 1899 yards rushing and 255 receiving while his little brother a sophomore kris Hughes has 714 rushing and 511 receiving. They all play both sides of the ball and are really good defensive wise also. Clay clevenger is a master game planner he can put a game together to maybe disrupt them or slow the game down to stay in it. Either way I am proud of what they have accomplished this year nobody gave them a chance from day one when clevenger got the job and he was introduced to the parents guy Bailey mom was at the event and told him directly that guy was going to Corbin and she told several of the parents she wanted to see them and guy’s friends at Kroger field in December wearing a Corbin shirt supporting guy. So ther has been great satisfaction outlasting Corbin. Not to mention she also was behind the twins going with him to Corbin.

You may be right about perry that have went dow hill and are not as good as they were in the beginning of the season but campbellsville is legit I think they will be playing at Kroger field they have good team speed good size and hit hard good team

I don’t know about that campbellsville is as good or better than anybody Glasgow has played perry is right there also that being said I think these teams are pretty evenly matched should be a good game.

As far as competing with the top 4 they are the #2 team in the East behind Beechwood all the other teams are in the west somebody is going to have to get beat I don’t think they can win it all but they can definitely knock somebody out of it. They have a young team with a couple of explosive RB one whom is just a sophomore they will be a hard out for somebody.

The inside info is they are big buddies and live with guy Bailey. They came back for the summer like they always do and work out at the Somerset facilities with guy Bailey. Guys mom is hell bent on him being a D1 player and she thought going to Corbin they would get him into EKU. They start talking to the twins to come back then after they decided to come back UK called Somerset and asked them not to put in against them becoming eligible and Somerset told them we were worried about our team they never fill out a Covid waiver required by law. Then stoops calls KHSAA and presto they are eligible. And another stipulation in helping them flip to UK is they offer Guy bailey a walk on spot at UK and everyone is happy. Now you know the rest of the story.

The KHSAA could stop the transfer problem immediately if they wanted to by changing one word in their bylaws from “may” to “shall” be ineligible for one calendar year. But they won’t do that because they would loose control of doing favors to certain schools. That would be the fair way to make sure everyone gets the same treatment that may suck for some kids but that would do it. The second option is just let anybody go wherever they want whenever they want and completely do away with the transfer rules all together.

Pulaski and southwestern are big question marks on this list in my opinion

Plus I would say none of those rules matter when Vince morrow and mark stoops calls Somerset asking them not to put in against them getting eligible because they wanted them to flip their comments from Michigan to Kentucky. I would say the next call was to the KHSAA.

The grandmother lives in Somerset they are living with Guy Bailey everything about this transfer is illegal. They have played 4 years of high school ball and did not apply for Covid year. The law on that states that they had to apply by June the first of the Covid year and they had to apply at the school they were enrolled at. That paperwork was never submitted to Somerset. If they are eligible it opens the door for people that have graduated just to come in and play an additional year.

That’s the first time I had ever been to dragon stadium and it is a really nice environment. I liked the whole set up I like the way the stands are close to the action and on top of that it felt like an early September night a lot of people wearing short sleeves they do have a really nice field and a Jumbotron. That being said I think everyone in the Somerset stands though this would wind up the season but they played probably the best game they have played all year. They spread the ball around and got other people involved instead of a one trick pony show the way they have done all year long. Kam Hughes#13 got 2 screen passes in space where he could run I think he had 2 catches for 89 yards with over 100 yards of total offense and guy Bailey with over 100 that’s a pretty good 1-2 punch but for some reason that just don’t happen every week.

Guy had 18 Carries for 170 yards and a TD Kam had 15 Carrie’s for 214 yards and 3 TD.

Final from OBI!

To be honest Somerset is well above average program they have a great feeder program and facilities that are second to none.

Somerset will be back on top in the next 2 years, but the next big thing coming from Somerset where they will be at a elite level is when our 3-4 grade and 5-6 grade are all in high school that group is going to be special they are a very talented group.

Somerset is really young majority of their team has never played a primary role on a high school football team. Their leading rusher from last year went out in the first quarter vs Lincoln co with a concussion. He returned in Beechwood game and went out sometime in the first quarter with what is looking like ACL so he is probably done. Somerset is going to be getting a few players back this week from injury that will really help and be able to move players around to their natural position. Somerset OL is pretty good they didn’t give up a sack against Beechwood and they moved the ball down the field pretty good they were inside the 10 three times and couldn’t punch it in. Somerset’s QB also threw 3 INT that didn’t help. That being said we will have pretty much the whole team back for the next 2 years and have a really good 8th grade class coming in next year. In all fairness to Somerset when spring practice started they thought they would be in better shap this season but they did have 5 kids transfer 2 are major D1 players it is just hard to recover that much talent in a short period of time.
