Well, Clay handled Corbin 7-0 last night.

Clay's starting QB is out(sickness) along with their starting middle linebacker(injury)... don't know any score but I'm sure it'll be a long night for the Tigers.

Halftime Clay 42 Lincoln 7

Clay 22 Lincoln 7... nearing the half.

Shannon Arnett at Clay County.

Clay goes to 3-0 in the district.

5-1 Clay Co. vs. 6-0 Perry Central. Big district mathcup in Manchester. Who wins and why?

Who wins and why?

Their coach makes adjustments at halftime and also gives them a "nice" talk... at least that would be my guess. Arnett is a prior defensive coach and learned under one of the best high school coaches in the nation(Bill Castle- Lakeland, Fla.) If you notice, Clay tends to give up most of their pts. in the 1st half. Clay has given up 117 pts. this year with only 38(close estimate) of those coming in the 2nd half. So, either they make great adjustments or their team is in better shape... or both.

Who wins and why?

Knox Central 22 Middlesboro 8

Who wins and by how much?

WOW! Details on this one please.

KC went for 2 after matching TDs with JC but was stopped on their try for 2 pt. conversion. KC led most of 2nd half.

Who wins this one in the Appalachian Bowl?

So, will Clay finish 1st or 2nd in their district?

Well, what's the season look like for Clay after watching the opener? Tough schedule with Scott Co. next week, then the district schedule.

I think the radio said the TD run was by Noah Reid.

Is this game on any internet radio station?

Clay was there in '88 and '92 for certain.

Wright did not apply.

Yes, that's who the paper listed... Skinpig, just two days ago you stated that it was looking more and more like Wright would be the coach. What changed so soon?

In 5 innings. Tanner Hensley with 2 HRs for Clay Co. C. Nicholson also homered for Clay.

N. Laurel vs. Corbin & M'Boro vs. Clay in semis. Corbin vs. M'Boro in finals. M'Boro winner of 13th.

When Richie & Russ were there along with Russ Chadwell there was some talent... but no McDonald's All Americans. Chadwell didn't even play much on the varsity level until his junior year. In '90, you had Collins, Blair, & T. Gray as seniors & Marcum and Smith as sophomores. They were all "home grown" and went to the final four where they lost to Louisville Fairdale by about 10. Fairdale was loaded with Maurice Morris, Jermaine Brown(Darrell Griffith's son) and Carlos Turner(6'6" PG). If not for Fairdale, Clay would have had a good chance at the title that year. Fairdale won the title again the next year. That was 20 years ago and the program has been on a steady decline since for various reasons... but the history is still there. With a little bit of success, the fan support and backing from the community would be right back. I like to compare it to the UK program. Anything less than the Sweet 16 IS a failure at Clay Co. 20 wins and a district championship just doesn't cut it... and rightfully so. That's what kind of program it used to be. People didn't realize what Coach Keith did with not-so-great talent and became accustomed to not only going to the Sweet 16, but usually winning at least a game or two there.
