[Hound05]

Mail them the 4A trophy with them eligible. The reign is over. Douglass won’t even be able to stop the big C Train that’s rolling through.

Don’t get too excited just yet. Hughes of Ohio ranked #343 in state of Ohio on Max Preps and Corbin Ranked 12th on Max Preps. Playing a team like Hughes of Ohio is great for the fans but it’s not gonna help us prepare for a Frederick Douglas or a Boyle County. I would have like to seen us play better competition in first game of season. We looked great but was never challenged and this is exactly what the Hounds didn’t need looking at Frederick Douglas coming to town. It never fails that anytime we beat up on an average team we start hollering stuff like we’re crazy good and Mail us the 4A trophy. It’s the pigskin guys let’s play a big name team that is worthy of all that hoopla. I’ll take the win gladly but as season progresses this win does absolutely zero to help the hounds. Don’t take my word tho go to max preps and look at the pregame rankings between Hughes of Ohio and Corbin. A number 12 ranked Ky team is expected to throttle a 343 Ranked Ohio team. Who’s next.

Someone from Corbin give me the condensed version(or long). How did Corbin look? Could you really tell anything with this much of a talent mismatch?  Anything you saw that was concerning? Didn't Howard(Hughes) have a couple of decent KO returns? Special teams an issue? How about kicking?  Does the defense look capable of being lockdown good against worthy opponents? Did the Smith kids seem to live up to their press clippings?  Corbin. I'm sure, will score with anyone. But will they stop good offensive teams?  Feed me some knowledge. Give me overall impressions of every phase of the game. Did you see any glaring weaknesses? Does this have the look of a special Corbin team or just another good team that falls short in round three or four?

We looked awesome if you take into account we were playing a 343 ranked Ohio Team. Misdirection at its finest. Great win..

You know who I would have liked to have seen us play in the Pigskin?  Maryville(TN) . Could cause a RPI hit, though, especially if you lose. I'd guess Maryville is better than Fred Douglass. I always enjoyed seeing Alcoa come to town. Stiff competition.

If you could get one really short referee to call the game you all would have a great chance playing Alcoa or Maryville based on the past

I for one am not a Corbin fan but have decided I’d really like for Corbin to get over the hump and finally win a title. The super teams year after year that play well and are coached well win game after game only to get bashed for coming up a game or two short. The coaches and kids are seemingly only judged by the state championship which is sad to observe year after year. So with that said Good luck Corbin for the sake of the kids and coaches.

It’s not the kids that I’ve seen who are being bashed, we’ve absolutely had all the talent needed to win it.  I think Brody Wells showed last year what I’d been saying all along kid was underutilized from the time he showed up in a Corbin uniform.  Combs should have been playing safety or CB and we could have played some of our lineman both ways in jumbo sets both ways.  It’s never been the kids I love every one of them that puts on that uniform.  Curry hasn’t played near as much on the offensive side as he should have been either.

No it’s never been the kids. Like you. I’m proud of everyone of them. I look at like this. If a team, let’s say one of the laurel county teams, don’t have enough talent to win a title. People will say it. We just don’t have the coaching to win. I’ll say it. We’ve ran off just about every coach worth their weight for the good ole boys. We’ve def got the talent. Titles have been won with less. Just don’t have the coaching to get us over the hump. I will say I think Elam is better than what he gets credit for. I think it’s more a philosophy of the top man to control the clock and not air it out when we have the players to do it. But we’ll see I guess.
