Wow! Very nice win for the Green Dragons! From what I have heard, they're actually the real deal this year and may contend with Hazard in the post season. Is there any truth to this?

Over the last two season Harlan has been trying to reel Hazard in. In 2010 with a team of 14 sophomores 4 juniors and 4 seniors we took Hazard into the 4th at Hazard down only 7 and Hazard ripped off 3 TD'd in the 4th for the win 50-20. But it was a moral victory for us because of our youth. Last season with everyone a year older but with 4 starters out of the offense and defense we played them tough. Just down a TD at the half and then they took over and beat us 38-13. This will be our best shot at them with all those talented sophomores from 2 season's ago now being SR's. If we can reach that game intact health wise I feel we will be able to give them a good run. Hazard will be very good but I don't feel they will be as tough as last years team. I could be wrong. Thier coach does a really good job preparing them. The key for us is to stay healthy!!! Also to continue to improve as the games come and go. If we can get 2 of the next 3 games I think we will have the confidence to compete with them on a whole new level for Harlan football. If the injuries start coming it could turn into another season like last. Whatever happens,good luck to the Harlan Green Dragons.
