Somebody call me a lawyer...I am sueing the chinstrap company!!

As a person who has interviewed many coaches, you tend to develop relationships over the seasons and years, if you have treated a coach with respect even on the tough topics he will usually give an honest answer, and then go farther "off the record" You can dig and he will give you honest answers, but if you have not developed some type of relationship with the guy chances are you are going to get Bupkis....

Honestly the only reason I am picking Pineville is that are a little more used to winning than McCreary.

I am shocked by this score, I figured it being at MC would be the difference. This could be LONG season for the Raiders and I don't mean two or three deep in the playoffs. Now some of those "winnable" games we kept hearing about don't seem so "winnable"

Corbin has a way a picking on big schools, but Corbin really struggled against a very good Harlan Co team. With the Redhounds on the road, you can make a serious aurguement for a GRC win. GRC 28 Corgin 20

SL 35 LC 12 Too many players and athletes for South. LC may keep it close for a while but South will pull away late.

I am going tp pick McCreary, only because it is at MCHS......neither team has had a banner scrimmage and has a big gap for competing with the better teams on their schedules. MC-13 TC-12

Not hearing much out of the Whitley Campus this summer, not even hearing any good rumors at Wal-mart. Is that a good sign or a bad sign?

Yes it is true, and he has been declared eligble by the KHSAA,, and has been installed as the starting QB....if you listen to the rumors at Wal-Mart. Seriously, Williamsburg now has three strong QBs who can hurt you from anywhere on the field, either by running or by throwing.

Rarely has McCreary Central been in the position that they are this year. They have an opportunity to have a break through season as a team. I understand that the Watts led Raiders were pretty good, but this TEAM could be better. The biggest problem I see is the fact that you have to learn how to win and last year showed that they did not learn that lesson well enough. I can see them winning 7 or 8 games but then again I can see them winning 3 or 4....like you say that is why you play the games, looks like it is going to be an interesting season in SEKY.

Seriously???? Not even close although I can see why you would want to play NL....my biggest disappointment is the fact that Whitley is not on the schedule. All it would have taken is a return game at WC. Would have been a heck of a game and an even better gate, which I guess was why the Varsity Club wanted them to play. Its all about the Benjimans baby!!!

Dakstats is used by the Mid-south Conf. It seems to be pretty good.

Corbin should win 8 games without breaking a sweat.....but the may have to learn how to spell runner-up

Jerry Overbay has been named the new head coach at Whitley County. He coached a AAU Div. II national championship team back in the 90s. He has coached in the elementary school, middle school, and has been an assistant to Larry Anderson for several years. He takes over a Whitley program that won 18 games last year.

Dunbar has facilities but not support. There is someting wrong with the school when you are on your third coach in three years. Coach Bob Lawson is a excellant coach but needed more support than it looked like he was getting would be my guess.

Somerset has some athletes (see football) so I would think it would be a matter of getting kids out to play.

Interesting turn of events down there, you go 18-10 and get a pink slip??? Don't see a in house canidate down there, but would not be surprised if they didn't have a canidate in mind. This late you better have somebody ready to step in quick.

Bell has become the "Gold Standard" for many teams in eastern KY. With coaching change they could even be stronger. Bell will be talanted and a fresh face behind the head coaches desk may give them an infusion of the extra fire they will need to get past Louisville Central. The Bobcats are a class program and I look forward to playing them (win, lose or draw) for many years to come. (and it did not even take a re-alignment to make it happen this year or in years past)

Not a thing really, I was just curious. If you know where a guy played or what coach he played for you get some insight into his offensive and defensive schemes. From previous posts I would guess he is a Wing-T guy, but I was curious about defense. Anybody know who his staff is going to consist of?

The new release does not really go into his football experience other than coaching, what are his playing creditials?

With the losses to graduation, the best thing you might say is that they still have Jim Black as head coach. He has a knack for bringing talant around and surprising people. The big question is whether he can find enough talant to fill a back field which is empty, and a defensive backfield.

Williamsburg has a excellant freshman class, they are moving up from the middle school when they had great success. They should fit in well with the returning vets that Coach Herron will field. The Jackets could make some noise this season.

Based on what? Seriously the only place he has won was at Leslie with Tim Couch. Corbin, Christian Co, Powell Co? Never really seemed to get over the hump. Really never built the serious contender. I think that defense was the serious shortcoming for LCC, their offense was good and I thought their QB was really solid and had a nice arm.

Whitley County fans are not only impossible to please in BB they are even more unrealistic!! Their current coach has been there longer than the last three combined and has has a winning record for three years running, yet becuase parents are too involved and parents of kids who have left the team for various reasons stay involved only to undermine the program. Just crazy.

It was a great day for a football game, Kentucky dominated but had two turnovers scooped and scored and TN had one TD on a short field.
