Lone Oak, what is the deal?
firstregionking replied to Crazed 15th's topic in KY Football (High School)
I think Harrison's road was easier in the east. Harrison County lost earlier in the year to Marion County and they were eventually defeated in the second round in the west. -

They simply didn't match up well with Catholic, especially in the trenches. With the exceptions of Lex Cath and possibly Bell County, there wasn't anyone else in Class 4A that was better than Lone Oak. -

Hickman took several hard shots throughout the playoffs yet continued to get right back up and kept ticking. After battling and defeating cancer, you can understand where his tough mentality comes from. -

You're right. I'm just tired of someone trying to convince me that a team (Bell Co.) that beat two teams on their schedule with winning records could win convincingly over a team that defeated not one but two top ten teams on their way to Papa John's. -

Does Bell have 100+ on their roster? Do they have the athletes to cover Lone Oak's receivers like Catholic did? It really doesn't matter at this point but the Purple Flash is no lower than the third best team in Class 4A, no matter how bad they looked today. Today's game was simply won at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. The Knights go two or three deep at all of those positions and Lone Oak's boys were going both ways and may have two reserves that gave the starters brief breathers. -

I'm not even going to get sucked into the private/public debate but it is what it is. Lexington Catholic had twice the numbers and Lone Oak is a county school that hasn't, nor will they, consolidate with the other area county schools. Lone Oak would have fared just fine against Bell County. Might not have beaten them but they are still a solid third in Class 4A. -

You've exceeded our wildest dreams and expectations this year. We're still proud of you Purple Flash. Nothing to hang your heads about being 2nd place in Class 4A!!!! Thanks for the ride and great memories this season. -
Congrats to Central. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is the first Kentucky High School African-American coach to win a football state championship.

Congrats to Beechwood! On a side note: The most combined points ever (73) in Kentucky's Class A state championship game.

Mr. Football....late season ideas

A great article in the Courier Journal concerning Corey Robinson: Football fans in far Western Kentucky might have known about Corey Robinson a year ago, but after throwing for a national-record 90 touchdowns this season, the Lone Oak High School quarterback has attracted attention from across the country. QB stands apart like a Lone Oak -
Who are you rooting for in the Championships?
firstregionking replied to Watusi's topic in KY Football (High School)
LONE OAK 1.) They're my alma mater 2.) Only six years ago they had a record of 0-10 and were outscored 19-518! 3.) It's their first championship game. 4.) It's also a school that has fought off consolidation and is taking on a private school. -

Mr. Football....late season ideas
firstregionking replied to RockPride's topic in KY Football (High School)
After leading his team down the field to tie the game against Warren East, and passing for around 500 yards and four touchdowns (running for another) then he has to be a front runner. Oh yea, throw in the records he's absolutely destroyed it will be hard to deny him Mr. Football. -
Well darn, I guess the Flash contingent can just save their money and stay at home Saturday. Warren East claimed the same thing that their only two losses came to state ranked teams too and the Purple Flash seemed to fare well against them. Still trying to make non-believers believe one at a time.................
