Final. Casey went into Estill after a game with Glasgow that lead to us having 10 players out, 12 starting positions in street clothes and not able to participate. Estill scored methodically early against a very young Casey defense, then Casey scores in maybe 3 plays. Casey is leading in the third 21-7 but penalties turned the ball over. Estill managed to get a lead late as Casey's young guys kept making mental mistakes. However Estill left just over a minute on the clock and Casey's Ethan Willoughby leads the team right down the field for the game winning touchdown pass with only 4.8 seconds to go. All the Casey staff and "in the know" football fans had predicted Casey would lose this one by 2 to 3 TD's. It was great to see a win like this. Although as a softie these years it was hard seeing Estill senior players take a loss like that, heartfelt. Big win for our coaches and players but the coaches knew the adversity they were battling tonight.

 So Casey had 12 starters out ? Why ??

10 actual kids, 12 positions. 2 of them were out before the Glasgow game, concussion and an undisclosed on our outside backer. During the game we had several more injuries, as well as the following week of practice, and one kid with bacterial pneumonia.
