Knox,Cent 34 Harlan,Cent 24 Harlan has no defense.

I understand the Harlan County has no defense comments. But, Harlan County has really only had one bad game defensively. Giving up 35 points to Morristown West isn't horrible considering they were ranked #2 in Tennessee in 5A after they beat Harlan County. Harlan County's first team defense didn't give up a point against Gate City or Lee, Va. I know these aren't the best teams on the schedule, but not giving up a point in two weeks is still pretty impressive. So, the one bad performance came against Tates Creek, and in that game Harlan County was up 30-6 before Tates Creek came back. Not making excuses for allowing 54 points to Tates Creek, there is no excuse for that, but I believe some of that was simply letting off the gas a little. This week will be a good gauge of just how good Harlan County's defense is.
