Rasputin

I know this is a little early but the game is really just around the corner. Both teams seem to be playing well right now and both teams have excellent coaching staffs. I figure Bell remembers the shut out on Log Mtn last year in the regional championship game and wants a little revenge, while Rockcastle has loads of talented senior players.

This has the making of a classic and will be the first match up of the year between these two. The other will of course be for the district championship.

A lot at stake for both of these teams because the winner will get their first two playoff games at home.

My prediction: In a slugfest,

Bell 22

Rockcastle 14

I would take the Bragg kid from Clay over any other in class AAA. He does all he does in a passing offense. The Qb averages over 400 yards passing but Bragg gets over 100 yards a game. That is impressive. I would take the kid from Leslie and the kid from Lynn Camp after Bragg. I know that they are playing in 2A and A but they are still more than solid.

This will be a great game. I plan on being there and I hope it lives up to all the hype.

I will say

Breathitt 20

Harlan 22

However, I hope Breathitt can pull it out.

Last years officiating crew has the answer to this question.:devil:

That is ridiculous. I have been a fan of 14th region football for a long, long time. If Friday's game is decided by anyone other than the two teams on the field and the KIDS on the field then I will have lost a great deal of respect for LCC and for the 14th region officials. How in the world can clay county or anyone else be blamed for officiating that took place a year ago ? Your comment is really out of line.. I expect the best team to win on Friday and that is that. Good luck to both teams and let's hope that adults do not try and decide the outcome of a game played by children.

3wishes, You are a Rockcastle fan. I follow the 14th region but I know that Clay is in your district. I want to ask you two questions. How does Clay match up with the powers in your district and question number two, how would Rockcastle fair in our district with Knott , Cawood, Breathitt etc... How would Knott do against Rockcastle and Bell ?

I would say that since Knott gave one away last week against Sheldon Clark and the fact that Clay has to go to Knott and face the 14th region officiating crews, then Knott should win the game easily.

Bobby Owens will run all over Clay and Knott will shut Clay down. I look for Knott to beat Clay by at least 24.

Knott 48

Clay 24

we Ready !.!.!.!

bring it on Hager.......

Knott and Owens will bust the " honey moon " bubble that currently exists in Inez...

Bobby will rush for about 405 agains the cards.. the cards have not faced any back or backfield like they are going to face in seven days.........

Again, we ready.......

Marty Jaggers for president !!!!!!!!

Marty has done a masterful job of combining two hostile groups , that is more that George W has done..

Marty is the man...

Is Billy in trouble ? People in Louisa do not like this sort of thing.

If North struggled with Clay County, then they have a monster task trying to beat Johnson Central in week one..

Could be a difficult year for North...:cry:

Wow,

Why would Cov Cath ( a great football tradition ) want a coach who ( from what you guys have said ) looks down his nose at KY football ?

I am sure MANY Kentucky coaches would love to have the opportunity to coach at Covington Catholic. Perhaps they looked in the wrong direction when the hiring took place.

A good rule of thumb is to hire those people who WANT to be there and want to get better.

Just my thoughts on a situation that I know nothing about.:thumb:

I'll be there for the first game, What a great way to start off the season !

What is Coach Allen's background ? Is this the same guy who was coaching at Pikeville College a couple of years ago ?

Lawrence is always going to be a threat in baseball. I can only hope that they get things turned around in time for district and sectional play.

Coach B is a solid choice. He knows the game and he would be the ideal candidate to take Rowan back into district competition.

Good luck Bill and best wishes to you and the vikings.

Would SL consider Stepp from Clay Co.? He's not really from Clay, he is always looking for another place and he is definitely an offensive whiz.

Interesting question. Clay threw it all over the place this year and South has the Bowling kid. Clay had a freshman Qb and so did South. Clay was a running team and switched over to become a passing team. Could be an interesting hire. Question may be would Clay's coach consider South Laurel. I thought that I read that Clay was going to be tough in the future.

Good luck Blake, You will do fine wherever you go.:thumb:
