What Central and Western Ky needs to know about Hilton...
His teams grind you for 4 full quarters
His teams don't commit turnovers or fumble often
His teams jump up and slap a high five with a 3 yard rush as the seconds tick away, and love it when it takes 3-4 tries for first Down.
His teams will not miss many tackles and be prepared
His teams will not let a good RB beat him, or Qb. They will hit them early and often.
All this throws the team out of rythem. And wear teams down in 2 nd half.
I'm from EKY. He did it here, did it at Bourbon, and will continue. Bet the coach of any opposition knows the name and knows he is one of the top HS coaches in the state. No matter what.. If you don't know the above, or believe it. You will soon. Promise that.

As someone who was in attendance for this game, I don't really recall seeing any of this from Taylor.

Halfway through the 3rd, the kids were cramping, slow to get up and just straight up worn down.

I believe the TO margin was 0, they both had two fumbles.

Actually, this is something that they did do. They would high five after short gains and did take 3 or 4 downs to get the first. They just didn't get the first very often. I actually heard an unofficial radio stat after the game that said Taylor only had about 3 net yards of offense in the 2nd half.

They tackled like a very average team, and let Adair get several yards after initial contact on just about every play. Towards the end of the game, Adair had a fullback who was just running roughshod over Taylor.

A good RB and QB both had very good games against him. So, there's that.

Adair didn't look out of sync at all, except for maybe a drive or two over the course of the game. They kept hitting Taylor and kept getting to the edge. TC was straight up manhandled by the Adair defense, except for one drive.


I'm not going to say Dudley won't make Taylor into a great team, it's just going to happen this year. He could easily win the district, but that says more about the other teams than it does about him. He's one of the best coaches in KY history, without any chance of an argument otherwise. He just doesn't have the pieces he needs. Or, I guess hired hands would be a better term.

But his boys got plain old out played last night, and it seemed like he didn't have an answer when Adair shut him down. If Adair doesn't shoot themselves in the foot, it could have easily been a 40+ point game.
