As always, I'm the cautious one on here for Rockcastle. What I'm hearing was that Whitley lost the other night after drives to near the goal line and then losing the ball on downs or turnovers. The point being, they were driving against a very good Russell County team. I'm not as optimistic as you all are and just hope for the win, plain and simple. I think it will be more of a dog fight than you think. I'm going to call it a dead heat and retain my respect for Whitley. After all, I have been to the past three beatings that they have put on Rockcastle in the last three years. Three years ago was close till the last 6 minutes at Whitley. Two years ago was a blowout at Mt. Vernon. Last year was close with Whitley on the good end of a lot of questionable calls by some less than professional Middlesboro referees. I'll believe the huge scoring margin you all are posting on here when the horn blows and one presents itself. The kids I talk to will also not be overlooking Whitley County or I may have to apply the size 14EE to their backsides. Here's to a good game.
