Thoughts and prayers go out to this young mans family, friends, and team.

The question is would you trade your teams 1-6 for Gallatins 6-1, the answer is NO SIR. :jump:

Sir, you must not be aware of the adversity these kids have faced this year or the type of scheduling done at Carroll Co. I am a life long fan of Carroll Co. as I went to school there when I was in high school. Carroll plays a tough schedule including Ludlow, DeSales, CAL, and Dayton. A little bad luck as stopped Carroll from improving their record or being 6-1. Daniel Rose went down with an injury, Josh McIntyre went down with an injury, Casey Cable is in his first full year as a starter and is learning how to play the game, Zach Wise (Fresh), Josiah Nickels(Fresh), and DC Craig(Soph) are all having to step up at a young age due to the injuries in their first year of football. Carroll has fought hard this year. Like I posted in an earler thread, Carroll has been dealt a bad hand but they are playing that bad hand. I have never been so proud to be a Carroll Co. parent/fan! Those boys have never gave up and I know that the coaches will not let them! However, Carroll has yet to put 4 quarters of football together. When the game comes that Carroll does put 4 quarters together, they will be victorious. The 1-6 team that you see now can finish the season strong. Being a parent of a young Panther, I will support Carroll Co. to the end. Good luck to the coaching staff and the team as they finish the season! I won't give up on you Coach Weedman/Panthers! :thumb:

With all do respect, I do not believe that Gallatin has been faced with adversity like Carroll has, nor do I believe they play a schedule as tough as Carrolls. Good luck to the Wildcats the rest of the year!

Spencer Co. does have a good, hard running back in #21 Chris Riggs. #5 is also very fast. When Carroll played there, #21 ran all over them. I am going to take Spencer Co. 35 Gallatin Co. 21 being that the game is at Spencer. Best of luck to both teams!

Okay lets be mad because Gallitan has not Scheduled Trinty and St.X..........Give me a break. Who do you want them to play?

Nobody on here has said Trinity or St. X. The thought just came up that Gallatin could be playing better teams than who they chose this year.

5 Highlands

3 LCA

3 Hazard

1 Mercer Co.

1 Warren East

1 Russell

1 Lou. Central

1 Trigg Co.

1 Harrison Co.

1 Prestonsburg

TB: 35 pts.

This summer did not go well for the Panthers. From the stands it looked to me as if the players were playing as individuals in the beginning. As the summer progressed, the players seemed to be coming together as a team. It is nice to see these boys start to build some chemistry.

I think this is great, a second year varsity program drawing this much attention. Like was said earlier you are what your record says you are. If you want to go back to the first game, yes Carroll had them on the ropes the differnce is that Gallatin came back swinging and Carrol took 5 more games to get a win. That is the difference. Some of you need to realize this program is in its second season, unlike most of the teams around us. Gallatin playes the games they could get at the time, for you that dont know, these games are scheduled years in advance in most cases then you fill in who you can. From what I understand Henry will be added to the schedule next year. Looks like the biggest critics on here are from Carroll, and I cant blame you, I would prolly look for holes too in a team that has beaten my team in both of their first two games. Good luck against Henry and I hope you guys win out. :thumb:

No critics on here sir, just stating opinions and facts. That is what this site is about right? :thumb: Once again good luck to Gallatin the rest of the year!

I wonder if you would have said the same if Evarts was still in the top 10 of the 'A' when they played Gallatin? Gallatin can't help if the other teams they play are not living up to their expectations. They lined up across from them, played the games and except for Frankfort came out victorious. Is it their fault if a key player from one team or other was injured, or ill, and took the wind from that teams sails? How is it their fault if a program is having a down year such as Owen. Last year Owen drubbed them pretty good, so did Trimble. Give the kids from Gallatin some credit here...:thumb:

I do give the kids from Gallatin credit. I said in my last post that they have talent there. I agree 100% that Coach Browning and Gallatin Co. have done a good job this year. I just do not see them as a 6-1 team. I believe that the schedule has alot to do with their record. I am not, nor will I ever, take credit away from Gallatin boys or any boys/team for that matter. I just think that the record does not completely reflect the team. This is just my opinion, nothing personal at all, just stating my opinion on the matter just how everyone else has.

How much do you know about Class A football? Evarts was ranked in the top ten pre-season amongst class A schools. Is it Gallatin's fault that they aren't meeting those expectations. Maybe we should wait until everybody has played 5 or 6 games before we make our schedule to appease the fans from schools that we have already beat.

According to KHSAA, Evarts does not have the strongest schedule either. All that I am trying to say is that Gallatins schedule is not very strong, therefore are they as good as the 6-1 record? I know there is talent at Gallatin, Brown, Henson, Nunn, Florence, are all fine players, but I just do not see the team being as good as the record. As far as Owen and Carroll go, their schedule is pretty strong having CAL, DeSales, and Ludlow just to name a few. I look forward to seeing the Gallatin/Bellevue game. This game will prove alot to the people in this thread. Best of luck to both teams! :thumb:

Thank you for the information!

I will have to give this one to Henry, they have alot more guns than Carroll

Who are these "guns" you speak of? :confused:

If " if's and buts were candy and nuts everybody would have a merry Christmas."

Gallatin plays who ever is on their schedule.... end of story. You can't argue with results.

But the teams they play are not high caliber teams. You can't argue with that. The games that they can schedule can be against good quality teams, not Evarts. Why not add some other competition?

I would'nt think Bellvue would be a "test" they would pass, just MHO.

Agreed! I think Bellevue is too strong for Gallatin and I know Coach Eckstein will have them ready. Good luck to both teams! :thumb:

I think that Gallatin Co. is a mediocre team. Against Carroll, the Panthers had them on the ropes and then one thing went wrong and Carroll let up. Owen Co. is just not a very good team overall. When Gallatin faced Frankfort it was a smashing 68-8 loss. Frankfort was a great quality team to be playing. Trimble was a quality win, not to make excuses for Trimble but Bird was not 100%. If a rematch were to happen, it could be a total different ball game with Bird playing at his best. Eminence has not done very much this year and Evarts I have no clue about. Bracken Co. is Bracken Co., enough said! The way I see it, the schedule is not very tough and when it gets tough the Wildcats struggle. (with the exception of Trimble) I think Bellevue will be a good test for Gallatin, that seems to be the only "test" on the schedule. Good luck to Gallatin the rest of the season!

Did he not play vs. Trimble? I must have him mixed up with someone else.

 

I agree...I hate for a kid to miss part of his senior year with an injury.

No, he was unable to play against Trimble. He is #50. He is arguably the best lineman Carroll has. The loss of him hurt Carrolls blocking tremendously.

I didn't know that McIntryre had been injured. What's the story?

McIntyre has been out since week 3 with a broken hand. He suffered it against Spencer Co. and since then has had pins put in it. I hate seeing the kid go down being that it is his senior year.

Trimble Co. has got a new player on the team also. He came last april. He played for Louisville Moore Sophmore year and started and played for Louisville Male his freshman year. He plays football right now and is really contributing in that also. He is starting WR/CB he is number 5 if you seen him.

 

I saw trimble play this summer against Carrol Co and that smashed them 57-39. I wouldn't count them out just yet.

 

SLEEPER: TRIMBLE COUNTY

If the game you saw was at Gallatin Co. I was present there also. Carroll was missing a few varsity players due to football and illness/injury. Hendrick (sick), Yager (knee), Cable, Craig, and Brocious (football) to name some. But Trimble did show some good things. The player you speak of is Larry Sullivan, he had real quick moves on the court also.

I have to ask, if Carroll has talent, and I know they do, then should not this season be on the coaches head.

It is definitely not on Coach Weedman's head. He has done a great job for the program this year. The numbers are tremendous. Carroll has just been dealt a bad hand due to injuries. But Carroll must play the bad hand they have been dealt. Losing Rose at the beginning was tough, Rose's injury was followed by Josh McIntyre's injury. It has just been a string of bad luck for the Panthers. Watching the game Friday night and seeing the boys afterwards just seemed like this was the turning point for Carroll. Although it was a 3-0 win, a W is a W and the team seemed to be closer. Coach Weedman has done a fantastic job with the boys and the boys seem to love him as a coach. Good luck the rest of the season Panthers! Coach Weedman, I know you will do a terrific job, just how have you done so far! thumb:

How about we let him have a chance to even be the number one option on his team before we put him in the company of Penny, Dunlap.

Very well put :thumb:

Thanks! :thumb:

I believe they will beat Navy, Air Force, Stanford, Duke and have one upset against UCLA! I hope so anyways. Its a bad year for the Irish but I know that they still ahve heart. They will not give up this season, Weis will not let them. Keep on fightin' Irish!

Can someone post the 8th Region for me please?

Trent Maddox will be the best all-round player in the region with and without the ball.

WOW! The best? That is a very strong word. I have watched the kid play and he is good, but the best? I don't think he measures up to CJ Penny, Eric Dunlap, Billy Payne, Scott Brown, Ponzer from SK (not sure on first name), and the list goes on. Saying the kid is good I would agree with, but the best? Not in my eyes.

All numbers speaking, Bird is the better runner. Nobody can deny that, its all in black and white. Carlton has had a couple good games and a couple mediocre performanes. The first game of the season he only had about 30 yards I believe. (Correct me if I am wrong) and against Trimble he had a breakout game. Bird is more consistant and in my opinion that makes him the better back. Best of luck to both boys throughout the season and playoffs!
