[BB CLAW]

Harlan County High School in its first year finished the year 8-4 with loses to Letcher County Central(5A) in a barnburner to begin the season, Breathitt County twice, and Estill County in a barnburner. These three teams could've beaten lots of 5A teams. The Black Bears could've easily came out with a win in three of these loses....but didn't, they were 8-4. The Black Bears were in there first year together with a new coach, new offense, new defense, new discipline, and new teammates. They began all of this during the summer and progressed during the season with basically on the job training finishing with a tough fought lose to Breathitt. The Harlan County Black Bears are heading in the right direction and will be successful. We have a dandy coach and a good talent pool. The Bears by no means underachieved. GO BLACK BEARS!!!!!
