I agree Norm, Somerset had a rough game last night but IMO just from the past two weeks they are still the team to beat in 3A in the East. I mean they have four turnovers against a crosstown rival with 3 or 4 times the enrollment that Somerset has, and they still win by a couple of touchdowns. I think what you probably should have said is Breathitt, SC, Belfry, and Mason better improve a lot over the next 8-10 weeks if they are going to be a legitimate threat to win when Somerset comes to town.

About the game, SW had the lead on Somerset 7-6 going into the half and really controlled the ball pretty well against the Jumpers. That said, I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in Somerset's locker room at half time because they came out of the half ready to play and just dominated the Warriors on defense for the remainder of the game. Somerset's offense didn't look as solid as it did last season which is understandable with the turnover on the offensive line. They will hopefully continue to improve as the season goes on.

BTW, when did refs start walking off off-setting penalties? Not trying to rip on them or anything they called the game fairly and accurately, but geez man those guys have got to get things moving. They stopped play for like 15 minutes one time to walk an off-setting penalty.

I was on the sideline with the chain crew and I asked one of the officials about that during a break. It wasn't offsetting penalties exactly. One was a live ball foul and one was a dead ball foul so the live ball foul had to be marked off from the spot of the foul and the dead ball foul from the end of the play. All in all it amounted to about a 1-2 yard difference. Definately not worth that long of a discussion.
