Rock Kid

Does anybody know where I can find anything about the all region, and district teams of 3A at?

Rock played as hard as we could. We were just out matched by numbers. I mean we had 40 players dressed while Catholic had over 80. We also played 10 players both ways. Thanks to our fans for showing up and supporting us. Burke is a good QB and should do well in college. I just wonder how Coach Sphire would do with the Rock team. Its is a shame that the few fans outside the stadium talegaiting were all smart mouths and made everyone else lok bad. We look forward to playing you next year on a real field. GRASS

I cant believe what I saw yesterday. Rockcastle's offense lining up in 4 and 5 wide throwing everywhere. I know the qb is pretty good but they ran the ball about 3 times. I asked some of the players why and they said it was because Lex Cath did such a good job of shutting down the run that Rockcastle was going to suprise them by opening up the air attack. The place I went to school was Black Mountain Ele. in Harlan Co. the same place JD Harris went to. I am in Evarts today for Thanksgiving. I think the Rock air attack will catch Catholic off guard.

Sad times at the Rock. Just found out that one of the best players for Rock has broken his neck. This makes 7 starting players that the Rockets have lost this season.

 

Scott Dauttery broke his leg and ankle and was probably the Rockets best defensive lineman and guard on offense. He is only a 10th grader though so this will not hurt next years team.

Dusty Miller tore his ACL after 3 games and was starting tailback for the last 2 years, a very fast runner with Barry Sanders moves. He was also a junior and will not hurt next years squad.

Travis Smith was a senior and played center and defenive line was goinf to really help the offense a bunch.

Jared Brown was a senior played defensive back and wide out has an extreme concussion he got this in the Bell County game the first time they played at halftime.

Alex Centers awesome wideout and halfback he was a senior and started every game and played great linebacker. Caught a bunch of cluth catches against Mason County and Ashland and Bell County the first time his last game was the Ashland game when he heard he wasn't able to play anymore.

Bucky Skinner a senior and three year starter payd fullback, tailback, linebacker, punter, placekicker he did it all. He got hit in the 4th quarter in the Bell County game last week and broke his neck, 2 vertabrase are broken and he still played the rest of the game and noone knew he was hurt he gets my iron man award. The tema found out today he has to wear a brace for 4 months. We all need prayers for him and the rst of the injured.

I would've loved to see this team at full strenght I mean if we can do what we have this year with what we got then what we did have would have been AMAZAING BABY!

 

Not to mention our 2 big studs on offense and defense line have had high anke sprains almost all year and out outside linebacker. This team has fought throuhg adveristy and prevailed in more ways that 1 baby, the Rock is hard and must fight fight fight til lthe end. I love my Rockets! Still noone has given themm any respect throughout the year because knowone knew what the team was delaing with and they still have a 11-2 record. Yet no polls include them. Rock dont need no stinking polls though. Sports Overtime represents us well thanks to them!

Some statitically history for soem folks are that since Rock has been 3A in 1999 they have been to all but 2 regional title appearences and those 2 years they were beaten by a combined 8 points and 2 overtimes. They have won the region 4 times. DOMINANCE and thanks to all the mountain folk who pull for us, I lve the mountains as a ex resident of Harlan County.

If they abandon the run they're in trouble. They have one heck of a RB and will make Rockcastle pay dearly.

 

Lex Cath also has a heck of a passing game and has sown it al yr long. The qb is also a very good runner. I heard he got hurt in the Highlands game, any word on that. I think Rock will drop 8 men and try to stop the pass, at least that is what it looked like yesterday.

After watching Rockcastle practice the last couple of days and hearing about Lex Cath's great passing game. I know now why Rock is practicing a lot of prevent and dime coverage. They seem willing to give up the run and stop the pass. This is very uncommon for them to abandon stopping the run. Who knows with a lot of luck maybe Rock can just stay close to them.

Tommy Greer.......

what a joke :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

 

Isn't Greer from Corbin? I heard he coached at whitley for a few years after he left Bell Co. Why did he leave Bell in the first place? If the Corbin job came open would he be cosidered?

Who does their middle school play? Any good teams? Why wouldn't they play Clay? I heard Clay begged them to. I don't think they played Rock either. :confused:

Bell County played neither one on any level.

Rock and Clay County played on all levels except JV.

My one question to all people defending Lex. Cath. is this. If it has nothing to do with kids playing sports then why is the KHSAA putting restrictions on football and baseball next year. Why not put restrictions on the academic team if its not got anything to do with sports. It must be with sports or they would not say football and baseball.

In 3-a District #7, the best managers are at Bell County and Madison Southern hands down!

Rockcastle's manager is doing one heck of job thus far as the Rockets are set to face Lexington Catholic in the State-Semi Finals. And has a great winning record with the freshman, junior varsity, and varsity teams combined and has worked very tough keeping the team motivated. His football winning record reads on since 2001 as a 7th grader to a junior at Rockcastle County Middle and High School reaching his teenhood dream last friday by the Rockets defeating Bell County 21-0 for the Class 3A Region 4 Championship. His record just in 2005 is 25-6 with a combined 103-28 record in a 5 year period including a trip at Centre College this past summer at the Mid-Kentucky Football Coaches Association North vs. South All-Star Classic as the only student manager on the south all-star team hoping to make it to the Ky-Tenn All-Star game next summer.

Rock deserved to win, but Mason's QB had around 280 passing and the team had over 400 yards of offense. Our QB did a great job and the running game was effective as well. I won't begin to get into why we didn't win, just to say that Rock found a way to get one more point and congratulations to them on doing so.

 

If our qb can produce each Friday like ours did in the Rock game, we will take it.

 

Mason's QB was an exceptional player. One of the best the Rock has faced this year. Reminds a lot of people of Dustin Grutza, just not as big. He is a heck of a player and very effective. He and ashlamnds QB are the best in their dist.

What about Tommy Greer? He used to coach there and has had success everywhere he has gone.

What I heard about Lexington Catholic was that they were fined $30,000 by the KHSAA for paying players due to some low income family issues or something like that, can anyone help me out with this?

Bell County's ground game was non-existent (minus-3 yards), but the Bobcats (10-3) connected on 17 of 37 pass attempts for 106 yards. (From the Herald-Leader)

correction, Nelson was 17 for 38.

Just like monday night football, the patriots won the super bowl and look how many times they appear. Belfry is the defending state champs so WYMT knows which game the money is going to be at. With that said I would like to see Bell/Rockcastle on TV cause I never get a chance to see them play.

Did you not get to see them play last year against Pikeville. Pikeville is your team isnt it.

Blume, Stallsworth.

I know he appreciates the mention he has been greatly overlooked. Has played runningback in only 6 games this season and has over 750 yards. Stallsworth that is.

I think it is a great accomplishment for the Rockets to be this far and done as well as they have this year after losing 6 starters from the beginnng of the year until the middle of the season.

Yes you are right. Rockets start only 5-4 seniors on any given night. Those 4-5 guys will be tough to replace though they are the QB-TB-MLB-FB-C. The TB spot will be filled next year bu a senior who was the proposed starter this year but tore his ACL, he will be tough next year though. The MLB spot will be filled fine though with a sophmore that is tough as nails. FB spot will be filled as well with a semi starter as is. QB will be the toughest spot to replace but his brother will probably be the next one to be QB and I dont htink Rock needs to pass it next year wit the line they have coming back, I bet they will be the biggest in the state and possible the strongest. Also argumently the best lineman is a sophmore and he tore his knee at the beginning of the year and will be back as a junior next year so the Rock loses nothing on the line and gains maybe a better one. QB is heart and soul of team.

Now comes the question as to when would the games be played. Could we possibly see places like EKU host a game and maybe G-Town, or hey even WKU? I don' tthink UK would ever consider it.

How many fans are expected at the game?

What is the weather supposed to be like?

A home game for either team, who would they want to play if they had their choice? Bell or Rock?

I think its a joke they are showing Belfry vs. Sheldon Clark live and not Bell vs. Rock!

 

Just kidding, I think its a wondeful idea. People don't realize outside of SE Ky I dont belive how big sports overtime is. Every back home watches it!

I agree. There will be thousands of people at the Bell/Rock game. Not sure how many will show up for the Belfry game. Isn't it supposed to be a blowout.

They were awarded this fine award for their dominant performance over the Ashland Tomcats last week. They rushed for 261 and passed for 163 on 17 tries and 15 completions. They held Ashland to 34 yards on the ground and only 6 passes which accumulated 179 yards.

 

CONGRATS!

Bell never won a regoinal title until right around 1990. We were horrible before Coach Hilton got here in football. We were 0-10 the year before and outscored something like 450 to 40 in total points for the year.

 

But how long has Bell County had a school? I only mentioned that because Rock has only had 34 chances to win a title counting this year. Their first year was in 1972. The post mentioned since 1959 and I was just saying that Rockets hasn't had a team yet.

To be honest I hope he did :madman:

 

I don't want over estimate the posts on this site, but I read in the Ashland Rockcastle thread that some of the posts inspired the Rockets??? And if they did so be it. I hope some of our fans will get the message too.

 

Good Luck to both teams :ylsuper:

I know that the Rockets lineman were carrying around with thme copies of what folks were saying about Ashland defense. About how no one runs on them. They took offense to that and showed up on Friday.
