Thanks, I must have been thinking about Ryan's brother.

22/41 329 Passing Yards with 4 TDs and 2 EPs. He also had a Rushing TD and EP. Dusty Brown had 5 Catches for 112 yards and 2 Tds and a 80 yard ish Kick off return for a TD Petit had 9 Catches for 109 yards a TD and 2 EPs

I do believe LCA is on a mission after after losing to Hazard last year in the playoffs.

Williamsburg played their butts of in this game. The depth of South Laurel helped late in the game.

Don't count out the 1A schools.

I would say McCreary is in the border of Eastern KY.

Looks like Corbin improved as the season went on.

Poor McCreary and their obession with the Williamsburg.

Basketball will always be king in Laurel County. Until football gets as much respect in that county the football programs there will always be mediocre at best.

Williamsburg will always have calls go against them until the refs are afraid that the WHS coach can get them fired.... but that being said, if you make your shots and play defense the refs should not be able to determine the game. Glad to see Williamsburg is improving.

THis hiring and firing of coaches this quick is insane. It doesn't work long term anywhere. Sometimes short term it might produce something but it never last long term.

AWESOME!

There are many coaches at smaller schools who work for free. Many of them are really good coaches as well.

Congrats to all the Players.

I would think it would be very similar and with the receivers he has at his disposal it should be exciting. I expect some high scoring if he has time to work with them.

It'll be fun to see what kind of offense Rains will run with these boys.

I think most players play the game for the love of the game. If they are playing for a ring they are not playing for the right reasons. If I could have gone to a school, not gotten any play time and got a ring or gone to a different school and gotten play time and no ring. I would go with the play time. I played the game to actually get to play not for jewelry won by others. If all kids just played for a ring then there would be a loss less players out there. Only a select few every year get the privilege of playing for a state championship.

Private Schools and their depth....

Discipline is a good thing.

I think there a difference between speed and quickness. Speed is how fast you can run at top speed, quickness is how fast you can get to top speed. I saw stronger DL/OL players beat this year because the opposing line was quicker off the snap of the ball. A line player does not necessarily have to be fast but I think they need to be quick and then the strength factor kicks in. You could be strong as ox but if you are constantly beat at the snap of the ball you are going to be out of position .Of course that also depends on the top of offense you run, if you pull guards and tackles a lot you are going to want them to be fast. Your better backs tend to get to full speed in 2 steps or less, where as your power backs tend to be stronger and harder to bring down. I would say quickness, speed and then strength. Technique (as well as execution) can overcome strength and some speed but in the end usually the fastest teams tend to win, hence why the mountain teams have such a hard time with teams from the north.

Congrats to Williamsburg.

Go Hazard, win one for EKY

They thought that this year too.

I was hoping Corbin would make it to the dance. :( It's going to be hard for South Eastern KY teams to match up with the athletes that the Private and Northern schools have every year. It'll take a special groups of players to finally beat those schools. However, congrats to Corbin on a great year! You all went beyond expectations!!
