I can remember playing against Casey co. in HS. Not trying to trash them, but it was a joke. Opening KO ran back, freshman in after the half. With that said, they've came a long way since then, but still no where close, they may never be on Corbin's level. But I do hope they continue to get better because good competition in the regular season only makes us better.

I cannot dispute this really. So many Corbin teams have walked over Casey. The closest game was maybe 21-14 and Corbin was supposed to be really down that year. But, excuse or not, one of the main reasons Casey was "a joke", arriving to a Corbin game with 16 kids, dressed...That joke was not a good one, but a realistic one. Casey always had 4 or 5 players that could play for anyone in the state, at some position. I remember going to Corbin a few years ago, one of our most talented players who was a D1 body, 6'5", 240, best at defensive end but we played him linebacker. He ran a 4.72, legit. No real desire to go to college. Anyways, we go to Corbin. I go to the booth. Corbin announcer and I are chatting and he's like "coach is this your whole team"...we had 19 kids get off the bus, maybe 9 of them were really varsity kids, a few young guys etc.. Our big D1 type kid was so tired after 1 quarter, literally Corbin would put in a 5'7" 165 pound back and he could barely tackle the kid. Part of that was on Corbin's tough minded kids, despite being small run with crazy determination. But the biggest factor was this dude was tired, not from 1 quarter of a Corbin game, but from 40 quarters, or 160 quarters of getting the heck beat out of his freakishly talented, God given great football body. The most backup he ever had was maybe finishing a year with 27 kids, 1 year out of 4. The rest we were in the low 20's, high teens. Which was still an IMPROVEMENT from when I was in high-school at Casey. Anyone, sad sad story over, I hope to try and give you guys a game. The "prize" for both teams is a date with the best team, probably in the state, and I mean ALL of state.
