Final.

Excellent win for the Hounds. I caught the tail end on the radio. They said Caleb Watkins barely played the first half but once he came in after the half, he ran wild. I don't doubt Corbin is cleary the better team and probably by the same margin on a dry field. However, I think this rain really slowed down Hazards offense. This game would probably be a 35-17 or 42-20 game on dry. Again, great win for the Hounds and best wishes to the Dawgs in blue and gold.

Corbin was on there game tonight it would appear. Two primo class football teams and a great meeting for these warriors.

Good job redhounds.

Congrats Corbin. Bulldogs, wash that mud off and let's get ready for Breathitt next week!

corbin keeps rollin

Congrats Corbin

Nice win for Corbin

Let me begin by congratulating Corbin on their win. Corbin has a storied program and remains near the top in their class year afterr year. It is always a challenge to go onto their field and expect to come away a winner! Now, that brings me to another point. The first half of this game was one of the worst called games I have seen in years and I am not the only one that feels that way! There were so many missed calls against Corbin while Hazard had flags thrown at every turn. Our fans were very vocal in their displeasure and I believe our boys got down on themselves when they had a touchdown called back late in the second quarter. It is also my understanding that an assigning secretary was in the stands observing this game, and at halftime he went into the referee's room and blistered the walls telling them he was amazed and disgusted with their inexcusable missed calls. Then in the second half things straightened up, somewhat. Granted, the condition were poor due to all the heavy rain that fell prior to the start of the game, but the rain had stopped and there was no visual factor involved in these missed calls. I would like to see these two teams meet again under more equitible conditions and see how things would progress. Perhaps Corbin would still win, but I think the score would not have been 27-7 under better circumstances, Maybe 17-14, or so, and you pick the winner.

In closing, congratulations to Corbin and keep up the good work. You always represent the mountains well. Also, congratulations Bulldogs. You have nothing to hang your heads about! Tine to move on to Breathitt County and show your mettle!!

Good post. It's about time someone voices their displeasure in a classy manner. Well put diva!

The touchdown that was ruled fumble was a horrible call!! Corbin still wins this game, would have been a much better game though.

Quite honestly, there could have been more penalties on Hazard and Corbin. The refs missed numerous horse collar tackle violations against Hazard, they also missed an interference call against our tight end in the second half. They also did not call a couple of facemask calls-whenever you grab another player by the helmet, that's a penalty, and if there ever was a penalty that needs to be called, that one does because its a safety issue. It's easy to get on here and say the assigning secretary was in the stands....he blistered the refs.....where is your proof? There were displeased fans on Corbin's side also.

Hazard has a good team and some very nice players and they will do good in class A.

How was it a touchdown? He was not in the endzone. The player from Corbin made a heck of a play, didn't give up, chased the kid down, stripped the ball, and recovered the fumble. That was not a missed call.

He kept possession of the ball. It was then stripped while already in the endzone. Clearly a TD. Horrible calls on both sides of the ball. But congrats corbin, both teams are strong and should have an awesome season

If you were sitting on Hazard's side it would have been hard to see, from were I was sitting he was on the 1 yard line and stripped of the ball. It appeared that he never made it to the endzone. We will be able to see it on the film.
Good luck the rest of the year.

i figure hazard would have won this game, good match up tho

You fans are something else..... I would like for either one of you who has reported above to define a horse collar rule?

It's also my understanding that the officials that called that game were championship caliber and also called the Clay game last week. I know for a fact, a fact that no one blistered the officials at halftime.

Fans always must blame someone.

I work with a guy that was at the game. He said Hazard played Corbin a lot closer than the score indicates. He also mentioned that Hazard was getting hosed with a lot of missed calls.
