Where was all this big school shouldn't be playing small school crap when Somerset played East Jessamine, Southwestern, Perry Co Central, and Whitley County last season?!

It's not coming from the Somerset fans. In the past 10 years we have played Pulaski, Southwestern, East and West Jessamine, Perry Central, Whitley County, Knox Central, Harlan County, Russell County, Franklin County, and Warren East. It's not like there are a lot of schools our size in this end of the state anyways. We like playing bigger schools, we just don't like getting destroyed by them, especially when they are our cross-town rival.

I could care less about the classification of Pulaski County or Southwestern. We should play them because they are our cross-town rivals and because playing each other makes football as a whole in the area better. No excuses from me, Pulaski is great this year. Even when Pulaski was really tough at the end of the 2000's I don't ever remember seeing a Pulaski team that just flat out was more physical than a Somerset team, but that was definitely the case Friday night. If Pulaski can keep the fire and determination they had on Friday going throughout the season then they have a legitimate chance to make it out of their region and possibly advance to Bowling Green, because they definitely have the horses.

That said, this Somerset team may have been a little overhyped in the preseason. Not discrediting Pulaski's win as it could have been much worse, just stating facts. If they don't get things worked out on the line it could be a long season. I was impressed with the play of Hatcher at QB. Also, I love the tenacity of the freshman Doan at RB. We couldn't run the ball worth a lick on Friday, but it wasn't for lack of effort on his part. He is going to be a special player before it's all said and done.
