Harlan Co should pull away for 2-3 TD win but it could be closer. The Bear defense looks pretty soft right now.

i cant remember see Harlan Ind. ever playing the Hounds..:confused:

1975 was the last game.

The KHSAA web site has the 2008 Harlan schedule posted. It lists a 12 game regular season schedule. This must be a mistake or is it??

Doyle C Troutman, age 79, passed away December 30th. Coach Troutman coached many years in Harlan Co as both a head coach and as an assistant. He coached in baseball, football and basketball at both Evarts and Harlan Ind. His coaching days go back into at least the 1960's. One of his basketball teams at Harlan, approx 1980, made it to the 13th Region Finals before falling to Clay Co in a close hard fought game. Coach Troutman was a fierce competitor and a positive influence on the youth who knew him.

RIP

Doodle Woolum is in the front running.

I've heard this for quite some time. I haven't been following it really that close but late in the regular season no one else had applied for the job. That could have changed since then, that was several weeks ago.

Is it over?

Yes it's over. There is a final score thread. It was 33-27 Hazard.

The Skins put up a great fight in the game and had the oppurtunity to win. This was the final game for Cumberland as they will be consolidating next year. Hazard made enough plays to win and deserves to move on to next week.

R.I.P Skins

Cumberland has the ball with 2:04 left. Ball on 20 yd line. The Skins need an 80 yd drive.

Cumberland receiver drops TD pass on 3rd down. 4th down is intercepted and returned to the 50 yd line plus a 15 yd late hit on Cumberland.

In their first meeting this season Hazard played horrible and still won big. That games was over in the 1st quarter and this one should be too.

Cumberland looked unprepaired, unorganized, undiciplined, poorly coached and totally not ready to play. It would have been 19-0 at the half if not for about a 20 yard touchdown pass with around 20 seconds to go in the half. Having said that Cawood did play a tough, gritty football game and TJ Green ran through Cumberlands extremely poor arm tackling most of the night. Cumberland clearly had the most talent on the field, but talent alone does not win football games against less talented teams. It takes organization, physical and mental toughness and a desire to be the best night in, night out, things that Cumberland has not shown much of their last 3 games. I truly hope there is some way this Cumberland team can get their act together for the playoffs, because if they dont bring any more to the table than they did tonight they will loose their last game at a decent Pike Central, may loose to Jenkins in the 1st round of the playoffs, and if they get by Jenkins will certainly get beat badly by Hazard in the 2nd round.

I think you're right, Cumberland has been headed downhill for several weeks. I expect a victory over Jenkins before exiting the playoffs though.
