[Old School Hound]

You all are underestimating Tom E. Greer. The guy is a defensive guru, a mad scientist on defense. Some say there is no substitute for speed. But dammit, I say Boyle's speed has met its match in the mind of Corbin's Minister of Defense. He wanted me to tell you Doubters of Thomas that it's not about him but it's about the "C". And then it's about his "D".

Never forget who Greer’s daddy is.

That image makes both of those men look very, very creepy when, from what I've heard,  only one of them is creepy.

Thats another thing, Coach Haddix plays his best athletes both ways if he thinks it will help the team be better. So you see the athletes making plays not only on offense, defense but special teams. A few takeaways from last years championship game that will factor in to a matchup this season is Corbin could pin you deep with Jacob Baker. Corbin had a weapon in that young man. He was a baller. But not being able to pin Boyle to a touchback every return or most returns will be a factor if there is another matchup. High Viz is spot on with the Speed of Boyle and there talent.

Corbin has talent as well. Now if the Twiins were on offense all of a sudden and West was on defense and some other kids playing possibly both ways, you could make the case for Corbin.

But you are asking does Corbin have a chance, you better believe they do. Corbin runs a offense that plays into the strengths of Kid Elam.

Corbin absolutely does not have the speed that Boyle has across the board.

Here is another thing, if Corbin does not get a game, there rpi is shot. So Corbin as of right now is looking to play on the road in the 3rd round. The opponent will either be Boyle County or Covington Catholic. If I was a betting man, I'll say Covington Catholic on the road. Boyle plays a tuff schedule but the teams they have scheduled in there non district usually push there RPI over the top because of there OWP, and there OOWP.

Also, Im talking about just knowledge of what I have seen so far. Boyle is for real. I have said that all along. I want to lay eyes on Corbin and see whats really going on with the defense and offense. Corbin may be closer than what I think, but I'll know when I see them play a couple of guanlet games. Those games will tell the tell. LC, FD, JC.

Please tell me that Greer is playing Guy Bailey both ways. He is a fine athlete. Track, state champion wrestler.  Please, please tell me he's playing defense, as well as offense!

Old School, the sad thing is, most of the time, you have those athletes who have the "It" factor. If a coach just doesn't have the eyes to see the talent and I am shocked, there are alot of coaches that can't see whats in front of them. To put a kid who is capable of changing the game with a huge play when the pressure is on. I would be trying all my guys to go both ways and seeing who is my game changers.

I might be wrong but I think the defining difference between the Corbin and Boyle programs is this.  At Boyle, the motto is "Whatever is best to help the team win." If that means the best athletes play on both sides of the ball, then that's the way it is. You play when and wherever in order to maximize the chances of the team success in winning a championship. At Corbin,  you play whenever and wherever the coach wants, daddy wants, or Cox wants. Agendas take priority over maximizing team success. GOB politics matters more than doing whatever is necessary to win titles.  Hence, 40 years and counting... Someone tell me I'm wrong.
