I would have to agree with that! ^ Them being in the area they are and who they are, players come to them. Just like UK basketball. Kids want to go where they will win! T defiantly offers that! If I was 17 living in that location I would!

If T doesn't have 22 on their staff I bet it's not far from it. May not be "paid" but I'd like to see the actual number! Not that it matters. Just like to know! I know 1A schools with a DZ and 4A schools with 15-16. Only stands to reason! Still does not take away from how powerful this program is. It's impressive non the less.

That obviously speaks volumes of that kids character! Great job by BOTH QB's!

That is true but situations like this one makes it tough when talking coach talk. Obviously Beatty is a solid coach! Just say'n! It's a program that can get your record up fairly easy with. Just seems more impressive when you realize where like Haywood has been coaching! A Small remote area with much less resources. Im not knocking a BIG school like T. I understand every school has to play the hand your dealt just say'n! Similar with Beechwood! Located where they are is a great luxury just like T and any coach would love to have the benefit of Plenty to choose from! After 3 state titles they should swap HC positions around! You may go from Trinity to Phelps or from Ashland to BG! Lol. THAT would make it a bit more interesting! lol

I agree. Hate to see it but probably a smart decision taking in account the emotions that were displayed between the 2! Only thing worse than walking off would been an incident midfield and no doubt that was a legit concern! Great Season by Lafayette though!

Sure Was a tough game penalty wise! REALLY hope the injury that Walker Woods Sustained is one that he recovers from QUICKLY! He's a GREAT player! Trinity extremely impressive! Hated to see Lafayette chose NOT to shake hands at the end and Sounded like Taylor received some feedback afterwards! Not good! Anyway congrats to Trinity on their 24th State Title! Unbelievable!

PAT good. 7-0. Hazards D is gonna have to rely on their Big Hits on BW receivers. Beechies are hard to cover!

TD CS! 6-0. Man he's impossible to stop!

The Train CS plowing through on that gain! Hes down inside the 10!!!

Big completion BW

Good Defensive stand by BW

Hopefully Burch is ok! That hit was Vicious!

All clear sky's and 39 degrees at kick off.

I know Pikeville was on the Home side last year so should be BW this year!

True. Russellville was stronger this year and BW handled them! Johnson for Hazard will be the X factor. Kid is just so big and if it's close he will Just TAKE IT from virtually every defender he faces. Paintsvilles D Backs are Extremely athletic and single coverage on Johnson did Not work! He, as a receiver impressed me this year as much as Pugh did as a RB last year! BW will have BIG plays! Hazard's coaching staff WILL no doubt be working double time to answer but they have proven to be VERY capable. Not implying coach Rash isn't. Obviously coaching is NOT a week point for BW either!

Most High Schools in the east anymore. Paintsville is one of the few that still plays on grass. Raceland is still on a grass field. Ashland, Pikeville, Sheldon Clark, Magoffin, Belfry, Hazard, Johnson Central, Prestonsburg. More Turf than grass now. Probably more turf fields in the eastern part of the state than western.

Alabama? Obviously Hazard can be beat. Just not likely by BW at this point. That's all I'm saying. Seems if you Dare to point out that BW is obviously outmatched in this final, is just absurd! As for the mud thing? Was that an attempt to take a stab at Hazard? Just FYI since you obviously haven't followed BOTH teams, Hazard has one of the nicest Turf fields you'll find so not sure how there is an edge to BW since they both play on turf ALL year! 2015 Pikeville was an EXTREMELY strong 1A team! Just letting you know this Hazard team IS Stronger! BW is obviously down from last year being much younger. I'm not saying BW is a bad team! Not even a little! Their a Really Good 1A Team, So don't get me wrong! Just don't believe that ONLY having Blazing Speed, is gonna be enough in Fridays Game!

never said "beast". Actually never said Summerset but yea I remember BW just Blowing out Summerset this year now that you mention it! They were WAY below your standards! Hazard did play Paintsville and won convincingly! You know the number 1 ranked team in 1A Virtually ALL season! Another team they played you Beechies may remember Pikeville! Seems BW had a run in with that Eastern KY team last year about this time! Yea this one will be Pretty much the same outcome! Hey good luck though!

Smiths numbers are Ridiculous! Burch has covered a lot of real estate as well!

Oh ok. My bad. Thought it was a football forum to discuss your thoughts between the 2 teams! I do apologize if I offended you! Hazard 35 Beechwood 21

Lol BW played who? Granted Cov Cath was about the strongest BW played but was subpar at best! NKY has had a very down year! No doubt BW had the easiest Playoff route by far!

Anyway! Good luck to both teams on an injury free State Final! Bring the 4A title home Eagles!!

Let's not talk about that ATL! lol

Haven't predicted a blowout! Just said JC will control the tempo in this one! That's all!

Well son, This is the smallest BW has been on quite awhile! They've typically had some big seniors to help! Just not this year! Maybe you've been tracking a different team? Anyway good luck to both! It's gonna be a hard fought game to say the least!
