Middlesboro was indeed good enough to play Corbin, however you can ask your starters who were still on the field when Corbin's starters entered the game "who the better team was?" And the score wasn't 42-0 when the 8th grade starters from Corbin entered the game. If these two teams met with the starters playing Middlesboro would come out on the short side of a 3-5 TD loss. You complain that this game was an insult to Middlesboro, yet how can someone honestly expect for a team to play two consecutive games? Williamsburg is a better team than Middlesboro so the 8th starters played Williamsburg. If anything be grateful for Middlesboro was able to post another W on their record instead of having to post an embarrasing loss. This game is in the past if I were you I would focus my attention on your conference or the Jackets will once again pull out a victory.

The fans and parents at Middlesboro were unaware of the two games being played until kickoff, and as you can imagine, were quite disappointed. The Middlesboro team always welcomes the opportunity to play a good team and Corbin's state championship team was a real challenge. For Middlesboro to travel to Corbin in the rain to play their best against our best was fine, but to find out you are playing second or third string was disappointing. Yes, I'm sure the coaches knew, but no one else did. Even if it was a loss for Middlesboro, it would have been a good challenge for the kids at Middlesboro. But you are right, Middlesboro will take the win and let Williamsburg take the loss on that one. Now we all look forward to the playoffs.
