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.

You are very true. I was at the Whitley-Russell game, cheering for Russell. Whitley was playing their FIRST game of the season and Russell was playing their second. My point is Whitley made a lot of correctable errors at critical times that only occurred because it was their first game. Also Whitle was not in "game shape" and will be a lot better week 2. They were also embarassed week 1 and will be ready to prove themselves. BEWARE of these young men, they were better than the score showed them to be!
