[That would be a good idea... a bluegrasspreps.com reunion at the JC vs. Ashland game.

Tonight is the Ms. Apple Blossom pagent, and the past few years the hall ways have been covered with signs and posters. All saying something about beating Paintsville in the apple bowl. Since that game has already been played, I am curious to see if the students will do that for this friday nights game. In all honesty, this game is bigger than the apple bowl, with a win friday night JC should clinch some home play-off games.

JC's best kicker is still playing. James Barrett has to be the best kicker in school history. He can boot the ball. His kick-offs usually go to the goal line and his field goals and p a t's are dead on and have plenty of distance.

Oh yea, we (JC) fans are gonna be like Fonzie... and what is fonzie?

I hope both teams are as you say... 100% healthy and undefeated in district play. See you in 2 weeks! :argue:

Oh yea... :argue:

CLASS AAA 1. Highlands 87.4 2. Covington Cath. 87.1 3. Bowling Green 87.0 4. Johnson Central 80.9 It would be nice to see JC in the 3 spot... but there is no way that they will gain 6.1 points in this weeks game.

Sheldon Clark - 34 Shelby Valley - 29

Does anybody have any info on region 1? I am curious to see what weight Adam Carr from Union County will wrestle at.

Johnson Centrals defense is going to be what wins this game. JC's offense is great, but I think JC's defense is their X factor. No team has been able to figure out their weakness... beacause there isnt one.

Lincoln County - 34 George Rogers Clark - 25 South Laurel - 18 Whitley County - 10 North Laurel - 27 Montgomery County - 7 Highlands - 46 Madison Central - 36

The only common opponent that JC and Greenup County has is South Point, OH. JC played South Point, OH at home in the 2nd week of the season, JC won 35-8. Greenup County played South Point, OH at home in the 5th week of the season, Greenup County won 36-12.

I was told that the turf will take about 4 to 6 weeks to lay. JC is also going to be getting a new regulation style track so they can host regional track meets. So with that, they will have to have bleachers on both sides of the field. I dont know if there will be a big stadium like there is now on the home side and a smaller set of bleachers on the visitors side. Most people are excited about that indoor athletic complex building. If what everybody is saying is true, it will be able to give all sports at JC a very nice training facility.

Hopefully this game will be played next year, and in all honesty... it will be played. And even better than that it will be at JC and by then their new football complex should be completed.

43-21 - JC - 2005 62-13 - JC - 2004 24-26 - Greenup - 2003 22-43 - Greenup - 2002 14-17 - Greenup - 2001 It doesnt seem like it, but these two teams have played each other for 5 straight seasons. With JC winning 2 and Greenup County winning 3. JC losses came in the Bruce Humphrey and Bill Tom Ross 5-25 (in 3 seasons) era. I look for JC to make it 3-3 this year with a big win.

I agree. We will be playing Ashland for a while with the looks of the new 6 class alignment. And what a better way to start a rivalry than the way last years game ended.

This thread will probably have 2 pages so I will say this now. I have been to alot of apple days. It is always the same thing... go into town, see who's there, eat a funnel cake and a carmel apple. Go to the carnival and waste 20 dollars, talk about the apple bowl and go home. This year is going to be different... THANK GOD! We have football on friday night. When it gets around 5:30 or so, everybody needs to start making their way to eagle field. Come watch JC play Greenup County in a big district game. We should have good weather friday night, hopefully you will get to see a good fireworks display and watch JC go 8-0 overall and 3-0 in the district. This might be the last time alot of people will get to see the old football stadium and field before all the renovations and construction starts on the atheltic complex.

Russell - 65 Lewis County - 6

One thing I havent done in a few games in given JC a rating based how they played. With all things concidered, I give JC's performance an A+. Paintsville never was in the ball game. JC dominated from the time they got off the bus until they loaded back up. JC really could have scored 100 points in this game. When a team scores 49 points in a half, and they have only used 1 or 2 running backs, it only makes you wonder. Paintsville's fans usually will cheer the entire time. Not this year, after halftime there was very few people wearing blue and white left in the stadium. Now JC has to get focused on Greenup County, Ashland, Mason County, 4 play-off games and a trip to Louisville on December 1st.

Shawn Grimm was on pace friday night in the apple bowl to rush for 700 yards and 20 td's. But Coach Matney pulled his starters early... even though the score doesnt show it. If a game is close and both teams are evenly matched and somebody rushes for that many yards, that is amazing. Otherwise, it is only good for discussion on bluegrasspreps.com

I said in the first apple bowl thread that was closed... this game was the reason why I joined bluegrasspreps.com But I realized something last night in the beating JC gave to Paintsville. JC lost the apple bowl my junior and senior years, ever since then I have always had the mentality of "I'd rather JC go 1-9 and beat Paintsville than go 14-1 and win the state title and loose the apple bowl." I am so glad I am over that. And there still is alot of JC faithful that feel that way. That was the whole season was based on beating Paintsville. Now that JC FINALLY has a football team that can be respected, it makes the apple bowl seem kinda pointless. With the way things are now, it makes the black and gold wonder why Paintsville ever won a game against JC.
