I refuse to sleep on Johnson Central though. I know they aren’t what they were but they flat out whipped Belfry last night. Also a round 2 matchup with Letcher Central could be interesting and a major trap game. They aren’t as good as Corbin but their offense can put up points in bunches. Whip or shut out Harlan County and start looking towards round 3 and you could end up with a Madison Southern game like in 1996. It’s playoff time. Nobody is to be overlooked because it’s one and done.

Why did you have to bring that game up?!!!!!! ?. That was a state championship team if I’ve ever seen one. HUGE on the line. In the backfield. Fast Wr’s and a good Qb. Beat that team silly 2 weeks before and then boom!!! 

I don’t think this team will be overlooking anyone this year. I don’t think this is that kind of team. I don’t think you do either, JS. JC looked good against belfry. Couple years ago that would have scared me. But belfry still is a decent team. Def not a pushover. They kept it close for a while, but having your QB and coach had to hurt. Glad they’ll both be ok. Jc still benefited from the game.

If you watch the game, the outcome never seemed to be in doubt and was played mostly on Belfry's end of the field. I have not seen the stats yet, but Belfry seemed to have passed the ball much more than a typical Pirates team, which is a pretty good indication of how much JC's defense dominated the game. Belfry is a young team with an outstanding coaching staff and they will not see another rushing defense better than JC's in the 3A playoffs. If you think that injuries played a part in the loss, then you are mistaken.
