ECATS

C'land runs very little classic Wing T formation. Mostly they run from two wide and two wings. They do run the classic plays; buck sweep, trap, waggle and belly and tackle trap. Evarts runs more of the classic wing t as did Cawood last season.

It all depends on who they can find to block. Good skill back. Several kids who can run and catch, but some may have to convert to linemen. They played Clay, Knox and Letcher along with Cawood last year so I assume it will be the same.

Jimmy Pike played WR last season. He had several long runs on reverses and jet sweeps and things of that nature. He is moving to RB but will still catch many balls. The best returning runner they have is Adam Helton at FB. Should have started last year. Had well over 100 yards vs. Paintsville last season. They also have Jimmy Langley who had over 90 yards in that game filling in for Mefford the second half. Pike plays corner on defense and sometimes safety. May move in the box this season as he weighs over 200 lbs.

So, let's get this right. It was 64-40 with under 1 min., probably the national player of the week was still in the game and instead of running the FB or someone else (a sub) the triple option was run and then a bootleg? That isn't running it up? Luckily they did not punch it in after the QB and backup C had a fumbled exchange for Evarts! I guess they subbed trying to wave the white flag.

I know for a fact that Mefford didn't play D at all in 2nd half. That is where it hurt them the most, and I know that is about all the carries he had. He likely has a torn ACL so I don't really know why he was in anyway. But the same thing did happen against Hazard-Paintsville had the ball with a little over a minute left with huge lead and punched another TD in (completely uncalled for.) I can see them doing it more against Evarts than Hazard because they have to play them every year. I'd be afraid that it would come back to bite me. Maybe, we just disagree on what a big lead is, but to me it was basically the same thing. It may not have been to anyone else in the world who saw it, but I never like to see the unneccesary score to embarrass high school kids. They are only kids.

Lynn Camp will be hard to stop.

The score in no way shows how good of a game that Evarts played. They got inside the 30 twice in the first 1/2 and didn't score. Fumbled once and a false start on a short yardage situation. Could have made a difference. Evarts leading rusher, Dustin Mefford @1500 yds on the year went out in the second quarter with a possible torn ACL. Played maybe about 3 plays in the second half and went to the hospital. It hurt more on D and special teams than on offense. Evarts ran the ball easily. The QB just had the night of his life. The game was 47-40 at the start of the fourth. Evarts had the ball and just could not finish the drive off, penalties. On another note, I thought that the last TD was extremely unneccessary. It was 64-40 with less than a minute to go? What was that? They did the same thing to Hazard. Maybe Mitchell and Lynn Camp can get some pay back for the district next week.
