You know, palmer, you are talking about a 1-A school playing a 5-A school. Fortunately, Hazard has never been a team to fear larger school, as we have played LCC (5-A), Leslie Co (2-A) Corbin (2-A), and Breathitt Co. (2-A) this year in order to fill our schedule. Several of these teams were expected to be very good at the beginning of the season when we played them, and due to our good coaching and determination, we were able to beat all of them, so far. I am sure the Clay Co. game will be difficult, as we are going to their home field on their senior night and most people expect them to win. Only time will tell, but I believe our Bulldogs will represent themselves to the best of their ability, regardless of the outcome.

It's true, the first quarter of the Harlan Ind. game was a little rugged for us, but it was fall break week for our school and I believe our team had "Fall Break Blues," which contributed to their lack of enthusiasm in the first half. The secon half was another story and we ended with a 50-20 victory.

No one plays their best game every game, but never forget...it's not the size of the dog in the fight...it's the amount of fight in the dog that matters!

Go Bulldogs!
