[Old School Hound]

Good game. Most of you probably watch more games than I do but here's a few thoughts.

1. First quarter and a little more reminded me of the JC game last season. Pikeville came out strong from the start and dominated the first fourteen minutes or so. I think a couple of minutes into the second
quarter, Corbin had run three plays total. Great start by the Panthers.

2. Corbin was impressive in coming back from the early deficit. The biggest momentum changer was Curry's kickoff return to the Panthers 46. After that is was all Corbin, with the exception of the Pikeville's late 80 yd touchdown run. That Corbin kickoff return seemed to energize the Redhounds and the Panthers never could quite get it turned back around after that.

3. As good a kicker as he is, the Baker kid is about as good on defense. Impressive player.

4. Corbin looked to be the better team(first quarter aside) but I say Pikeville has the much better probability of winning a state title when all is said and done.

5. Corbin's #18 was the best player on the field.

6. I hope Corbin/Pikeville will play more often. Each school has rich tradition and TONS of talented athletes.

7. Great atmosphere tonight.
