46 Sprint Out

I think the freshman team should be plenty talented......but the sophmore class lost both to Tates Creek and Henry Clay in blowouts last year.

Harlan has a lot of work to do, but I still think they will fare better this season with a weaker schedule.

Well good luck to the Black Bears......

I've wanted to see something happen like this for a long time.

Just thinking of a few matchups:

Harlan County vs. Powell Valley (VA)

Bell County vs. Morristown East (TN)

And if everyone could get along:

Middlesboro vs. Gate City (VA)

Harlan vs. Cumberland Gap (TN)

Sounds like a great backfield.....but I hope a committment to full house sets dosen't make them completely one dimensional.

I think this team can make a run in 3A, but to contend with the likes of a Louisville Central of Belfry, they will have to have some balance on the offensive side of the ball.

What was Rockcastle's basic scheme?

They used to base out of a 5-3. If they run Coach's Saylor's scheme though, expect anything and everything.

There are several assistants on the staff IMO that could do a good job with this program. I hear they were supposed to be loaded this year.

Amazing....you would recommend the job you are running from after one year to a FRIEND?

 

There is nothing like two desperate parties getting together to form a great relationship.

 

I would stay out of it and let the Paris faithful figure out their future.

Well, if this FRIEND is who I think he is......Paris would be lucky to have him. Just one man's opinion here

Any idea as to who Paris might look to in the immediate future?

This is a great hire......Coach Scenters is more than deserving, and I'm glad to see such a good person get the job.

Good for Pikeville. I don't think either party knows what they would be getting into with this hire. This would not be a good fit.

Based on what?

I thought that Bell Co. was willling to play around week 6. Maybe instead of making a trip across Pine Mountain, they could make a shorter trip to Log Mountain.

More money and the chance to play on TV perhaps?

This could be an exciting year for the Bulldogs

That is VERY impressive!!!!

I agree with alot of the above. I think that a full freshmen and JV schedule will only benefit. Way too often, mountain teams lack the personnel to fill a full Frosh and B team schedule and it hurts them in the long run.

No doubt a frosh and JV schedule will occur with 10 games. The only question I have is are there any schools close to Harlan that play both frosh and JV games weekly. I know Bell County doesm what about Middlesboro, Leslie, Breathitt, etc? If no one near you plays it is hard to fill a schedule. Most school districts won't allow long 9th-11th games to be played on the road.

I see a problem with this as well. Perhaps the freshman team could play up and play a seperate JV schedule. However, you probobly would be looking at needing to hire more coaches to do so. That coupled with scheduling conflicts could cause some problems. I don't know of any teams around the area with freshman squads

I had a hard time understanding the possibility of this one.....

Not to bash, but I will take Cove's offense over anyone's in the nation. It has never ceased to amaze me, and we get him as an awesome teacher to boot.

I totally agree. It's the best offensive system Ive seen in the state of Kentucky anyway.

Talked to someone who has played both in recent weeks, says this game won't be as close as the last two and to expect a running clock. Should make for an interesting week on here.

 

*I have no ties to either team so just throwing this out there....

I would agree with the statement from your source on this one. Not that this is a great Trinity team this year, but they are still in a different league. If the Rocks are clicking on all cylinders, and it appears they are, this one gets nasty in a hurry.

PLD has about as much of a chance of beating Henry Clay as App. State had against Michigan.

I thought Appy State had a pretty good team from what I saw, didn't they get votes to be in the top 25?

Highlands vs. Maryville (TN). In state it would be Highlands vs. Trinity.

I'm totally with you......this would be one HECK of a matchup!!!!!!

Beechwood 48

Bellvue 7

Bell County 20

Rockastle 7

A very physical game with Bell's special teams providing the big difference.

Franklin Co. 35

Harrison Co. 20

Franklin continues to breeze along towards the state semifinals.
