[Hound05]

I’m as high on the Hounds as anyone. I personally think this bunch would curb stomp those 70’s and 80’s teams. The depth would end it pretty quick.

All that said, I will never underestimate Johnson Central. They’ve handled us the past two years. While I think we will be the rightful favorite, they’re not getting overlooked by me. I’ll be very surprised if the streak goes to 7 games but I sure hope it does. Hounds are capable of it but they can’t rest on their laurels.

Probably. I always try to think of it in perspective. Teams were different back then. Which I know I don’t have to tell you that. But i the point I guess I’m trying to make when people ask about the best teams I’ve saw, I compare to the level of competition in that time. Our 1996 team was running the spread for the most part in a time that it was about unheard of in eastern ky. I bet that team would wipe the 80s teams. Like someone said, depth and the fact that back in the day you didn’t have 3 or 4 people that could cover the pass on D. Kids now days are for the most part faster, maybe a little stronger, use better techniques, and there’s more of them. 

I hate to reminisce on it because of what they did in the first round. But man do you guys remember that 96 squad. I don’t know if I’m just letting my imagination get the best of me. But it seems like they could split 4 guys out and everyone of them would run 4.2 40 hah. I think the QB was Danny steely, and he had a dang arm!

I played on the ‘96 team. Played corner. Coach Whitaker was a heck of a coach. He loves spread offense. Danny was probably one of the toughest QB’s I’ve ever known. Great team with a great disappointment lol
Lost second round to Madison southern. Funny how you remember that what if’s as long as you live. That’s what I keep telling my son, don’t blink or let up. You’ll never get these downs back again.

I know there’s not an asterisk by that year. But people can believe what they want. You play that season 100 times. Corbin would win 95 of the titles. 

I’ve never got to ask anyone. What happened? I mean we just blew that team out a couple weeks prior. 

That’s why I’m hoping this team stays grounded and focused. Like I said. I saw some things that as an opposing coach, id be highlighting. But a solid overall performance. 

'76 Corbin team had the best offensive player (and all-around player) I've seen at Corbin in Steve Bird and the best defensive player I've seen in R.C. Thomas. I would put that bunch up against anyone,  And the coaching staff was top notch. Advantage '76 team.

I’ve only got to see RC on some old tapes that we’re grainy. But I’ve been told by people outisde if Corbin, they wouldn’t want to go against him!!

and to answer your question about LCC you posted earlier. I think it’s a combination of both. In don’t care what team stepped out on that field tonight, they were gonna get beat outside of a couple 6A and a 5A team. But I also think as good of a team as they were, LCC was given a little more credit than they deserved, solely on the fact they played a decent Johnson central team close. Honestly that was it. Because they didn’t really play anyone else that would give you that same thought. BReathitt co. Might have a decent team. But as I said way before the game, you can’t use stats against JV teams to try and gauge yourself. We did last year, and look what happened. But I do think the team that comes next week that shall not be named because Bull don’t have the thread out yet, will give us their best performance all season.
