Hazard had 15 yards and 1 first down in the first half. The state title will be decided next week at Paintsville. Whoever wins that game will be a decisive favorite. I don’t think there is anyone left that has the size to stop the Tigers run game.

I agree with your assessment. I will add that I don’t think there is a 1A team left that is going to be a ale to run on this defense enough to control the game. 

I haven’t watched NCC but it appears they are run heavy with the ability to throw some short/ chain mover passes.

They arguably played there best game of the season against Holy Cross. As that game was tied at 21 all before Newport Central Catholic took advantage of mistakes. Paintsville better be ready again next week. Poe has did a good job and hopefully they keep him back there and go with Jake Hyden and Phelps in the backfield.
