Running clock in the first or second quarter. Would love to see Phelps figure something out to get numbers up and become more competitive. Their kids always show so much heart and never quit, they just never have the numbers.

Pikeville by alot. I'll say:
Pville Starters score 35 unanswered points
Pville JV scores a handful of times
Pville Freshman finish it out

Coach Mac is a class act and wont run up the score, but the problem is, there is only so much you can do. Last year Raceland played JV and Frosh from midway through the 2nd quarter. The varsity went up 48-0 after 4 TD passes from Young, a rushing TD by Christian a pick 6 by Christian and 2 punt returns for a TD by messer. The JV came in and Damon Black through two TD passes and Ran for another. The freshman would have scored but ran out of time. Its a tough way to coach.

There is only so much a coach can do. You CAN NOT tell kids to slack off, play soft, or ease up. You can try different things, formations, hell, you can play kids out of position if you want. But when a team struggles like Phelps has in the last few years, it's hard to play them "fairly" with being insulting.

Its a tough situation. Imo, Phelps should do what Berea did a few years back and ease up the schedule and drop from district play and try to do something to build their numbers up.

Hope both squads come out injury free. Good luck to bith squads.
