BIG DOG 58

Leslie Co. has had an excellent spring football. I don't know where some of these guys were last year, but there are some monsters on the field down there. I was watching the o-line one day and there were at least 6 guys over 6'3 and they were getting with it. Strong, aggressive type linemen. Coach Asher and Coach Rice over there are getting them into shape. There won't be any letdowns like last year, thats a fact. Also, Jordan Morgan will put up some big time numbers at RB. The rest of the skilled position guys that contribute all play baseball and do not attend spring practice.

Corbin's got a tough road ahead if they want to dominate. I think Corbin loses 1 maybe 2 games in the district next year. Depends on where they play Middlesboro. It was a shootout last year at Middlesboro, and they return some big time athletes. If they can find a QB, they'll be a tough out once again. And Lelsie Co. has one of the toughest D-fenses around. They gave up an avg. 13 points per game after spending three quarters of the game on the field due to a mediocre offense. I think both of these teams will give Corbin a run for their money in the district this year. I think this will be one of the most competitive districts in the state in any class.

Yes. You purchase a season pass. But It costs less than getting into one of the clinics. Its glaziercliniconline.com I think.

The Glazier clinic on-line is where it's at. You can watch anything you want to watch when you want to watch it from the comfort of you own home or coaches office. The videos are on a rotating schedule. Every facet of the game is covered multiple times by multiple videos.

They've got four catchers on scholarship there. He'll probably end up playing if not this year, next year for sure.

Leslie Co. Middle Linebacker Timmy Baker will be signing to play football at Morehead St. University at 1:00 in the Leslie Co. High School Library. Congratulations to an outstanding football player, a great leader, and more so, a fine young man.

Timmy Baker is going to sign with Morehead St. next Thurs. Brian Hubbard is visiting Kentucky Christian this Sat. Cumberland already has an offer on the table that will let him go to school for almost nothing. Also, Cambellsville called last week wanting Brian badly, but don't know how much money was involved. Looks like Cumberland unless KCU shows something good this weekend.

Gay didn't score alot, but did have 10 blocked shots. Can't remember how many points they said, might have been in single digits. Also, Ryan Howard went 0 for 11 from the 3 point line. Good thing he signed to play football for Pikeville today. Maybe that will take a little of the pressure off and let him relax and just play. This young man has a hard time, I'll just leave it at that.

Ryan Howard of Leslie Co. signed to play at Pikeville today at 1:00 at the Leslie Co. High School Library. Congratulations to Ryan!!!!!

Mike Whitaker was at Powell Co. on the 27th. He was shown the facilities, the town, and met with the team. He also was at the Hazard/Powell game last night. Putting two and two together, it looks like they may be on their way to finding a coach.

Leslie Co. will miss Timmy Baker and Brian Hubbard.

Heard through the grapevine that he's been in contact with PC and has an interview. Can't understand Powell Co., though. Not much to work with there. Plus , there can't be too much money involved. I think they draw more crowds at baseball games than at football games.

He'll be a senior next year. He's not big at all. 5'8 170. Starts OLB and RB. He gets good air, not great. He seemed to get the roll everytime last year, though. That really bumped his average up. What was really impressive is that he had 14 punts inside the 10.

Jordan Morgan returns for Leslie Co. He averages around 40 yds. per punt.

Heard Howard and Shannon Roberts had 2 pts. between them. 0 for 17 from the field. This coming after Hubbard, Howard, and Roberts went 3 for 22 from three point range against Buckhorn. Sounds like the defense is there, now if they can just find the bottom of the net more often.

Leslie has 17 seniors to be. The line will be the major strenghth of this team unlike last years team. Qb Jimmy Joe Morgan just got his feet wet last year, and is poised for a breakout year. Along with Rb /Lb Jordan Morgan, Morgan has many weapons at WR and TE. The Defense will be solid once again. Losing Baker, Howard, and Hubbard hurt more on Defense than Offense. If Leslie can find some Middle linebackers, they'll be in the mix again.

No. We got our last game set up yesterday with Bell Co. We would have had to play them if they hadn't gotten out of 2A because they would have been in our district.

8/24 Knox Central A 8/31 Pike Central A 9/7 McCreary Central A 9/14 Open 9/21 Middlesboro H 9/28 Letcher Central A 10/5 Knott Central H 10/12 Perry Central A 10/19 Corbin A 10/26 Bell Co. H 11/2 North Laurel H

I can't get the offense-defense camp site to come up for some reason. Does anyone have any contact information? This sounds like the ideal camp for football players. Sometimes other camps just show off athletic ability and not football skills, this sounds good.

So you're saying this kid had 122 solo tackles? Was anyone else on the field defensivley for Nelson Co. this year?

Leslie's line will be tons better thann they were last year. Alot more size as well. Jimmie Joe Morgan will be much improved after a year of growing up. Also, watch out for the Collett brothers. Lane(#63) is a beast on Defense, and Randen(soph. #61), is the real deal, started last two playoff games at center, and will start defense next year. Took Breathitts stud Allen out of the equation in first round of playoffs.

They're getting pretty lazy over there at WYMT. How can you have an All Mountain Team when you just take a group? I'm sure there were some offensive linemen or a ton of defensive players who deserved to get the nod. This whole as a group stuff is just being LAZY on they're part. WYMT has done a lot for football around here, and they're great at what they do, but they really dropped the ball on this one.

Heard Tennessee will be at the game tonight to watch Miller.

Give me Howard at point and Hicks at shooting guard.

I think there are three of the top ten in district 8. Corbin with Cashen and Nolan and the rest of the crew will be good and a top 5 pre-season team. Middlesboro has speed and talent returning and if they get the QB situation figured out, will be good. And Leslie Co. has 17 seniors to be and a great group of juniors including the QB who will be a lot better than last year. This is the toughest district in 2A.
