In Belfry's advantage: They've been there. They're much less likely to make mental errors due to "nerves" or "trying to do too much". Belfry's (possible) disadvantage: IMO, Region IV is weaker than in '03 and '04. Is Belfry's run through region play as indicative of their ability this year ? Have they been "pushed" to a competitive fine edge ?

Ooooooh !! That's different... My apologies...I had assumed the thread was talking about the distance from one SCHOOL to the other... :creepy:

With all due respect... Take U.S. 52W --> KY40W (at Kermit) --> KY645N (at Inez) --> U.S. 23N (at Ulysses) on to and through Winchester Ave. in Ashland to Russell. The trip shouldn't take more than 2 1/2 - 3 hrs... If I weren't out of town this weekend, I'd get one of you Belfry folks to pick me up coming through...

No... but everyone outside Leslie Co. is 99.44 % certain... :lol:

So what's the correct situation ?? Did OCath catch Ft. Campbell with their drawers down in the process of changing personnel or what ?? This is the first mention of this kind of thing....

With all due respect, I don't think kudos are in order for OCath's 4th and 2 call that deep in Aces territory that early and behind by that little. The call "working" is the only thing that keeps a call like that from being labelled a "bone-headed brain-dead foolish call" by EVERYone... But IMO, the positive outcome doesn't make the call any smarter. The coach plain and simple took a dumb chance that happened to come out roses (unless the situation has been described inaccurately). :sssh:

With the score tied at 28 at the end of regulation and only 6 points scored by either team in 3OT's, OT rules across the river must obviously be different than what we're used to... How does Ohio play OT's ??

Congrats to LexCath... The "hump" is now in the rear-view mirror !!!!

Yep... :sssh: :lol: But...I don't want them to stop (winning) now. Go Belfry and get the 3rd one !! (Has anyone won 3 in a row in 2A before ??) :ylsuper:

The passing yardage is far from impressive, also. Less than 3 yards per attempt won't get it done. Sounds like Rockcastle's "D" had it all tuned in !! Quite impressive... :thumb:

In westsider's defense... region 4 is the weakest link in his very substantial football knowledge base... Middlesboro was the last Region 4 1A Champion. :thumb:

It also shows the $$$$$$ is there to spend... The field was already far above "average" for the region.

It looked like the last extra point for Lynn Camp in the Paintsville game was just kicked too high on the ball. There's not much margin for error for a straight on kicker that uses a toe strap. Just like a golfer that tops the ball, it looked like the kicker didn't keep his head down. It's VERY easy to do. You gotta feel for the young man. That's a LOT of pressure in that situation. There's a lot of teams outside the soccer playing areas that have a rough time developing place kickers from scratch. :bunny:

kantucky... You're only seeing the polished veneer of the Evil Empire, but...underneath... :sssh: (j/k)

Yes... I like it. I'd take 1 or 2 weeks away from basketball and add it to football to stay with a 10 game season, though. From P-burg's perspective, the 6 "classes" make no difference. We're STILL in a 7 team district and forced to play 4 games against opponents that rarely give a competitive game...

I think I agree with gish's statement - the '01 Tiger team had more overall talent. This year's team is pretty close with skill players, but the former team was better in the trenches. Admittedly, I was no Paintsville fan through that time. However...I've always been a hard-core football fan and have kept up with most of the area teams (and I'm certainly old enough to have a recollection ). :thumb:

Boy... do you have me WRONG !! Heck, I wasn't even trying to "pull chains", let alone "flash something" in your face. :sssh: I was in NO way being critical of you, Johnson Central, or anything. I was just giving my take on why the crowd size at games now is less than many yrs. ago. I was trying to figure out the answer to the question you asked earlier and just repeated, "It didn't used to be that way, what has happened?" :lol: You should KNOW that back then, Paintsville was really "the only game in town" that Johnson Co. had for the fall sport. Now, with the renewed interest in football at the other Paintsville high school, "county" fans show less interest in "Tiger football". Saying that is not a slight to Centralites, it's really only natural for it to happen. As far as Central fans coming to the Paintsville game... I'm GLAD to see them - the more the merrier !! (I'm also for Prestonsburg fans coming...and Magoffin Co. fans...and Lawrence Co. fans...etc...) I like to think there are true FOOTBALL fans from all around that want to see as much of it as they can before that crappy indoor sport begins. :thumb:

Don't listen to the "way to go Cards" Belfry people...they're just happy to get another home game. But seriously... VERY NICELY done, Sheldon Clark !!! :ylsuper:

For years and YEARS most of the county fans decided to be Tiger fans during football season. After all, who could blame them ?? It's sort of funny that you critique the Paintsville following when, in the past, Paintsville was Johnson Co.'s only truly competitive team. LOL... the only thing missing from the "big crowd" you were expecting is the part of the county crowd that quit following football last week. Those same folks used to not call it quits until Paintsville lost. :bunny:

Goodness, MD... After the GREAT game out there tonight, you have Prestonsburg on your mind for some reason ?!? :lol:

Hope you sent him up the Daniel Boone Pkwy and not I-75, RNC !! (I-75 and the Mountain Pkwy is at least 45 mins further....)

Obviously, my ears are bad...LOL. But that young man was impressive, nontheless. Great combination of power and quickness...
