[Old School Hound]

I think the jest of what I thought about this one has probably been well digested by now. Just a few  more points:

1. The Redhound Varsity Club--- Folks, they are all about putting on a good show for outsiders.  It's all about, "look at us."  As far as what they've done for Corbin football, consider this: Prior to the formation of the Redhound Varsity Club, Corbin claimed five state titles, three real and two mythical. After the formation of the RVC, Corbin has won ZERO titles. NADA, ZIP, ZILCH. Corbin last won a title in 1982. Then the RVC was organized that same year. It's been a devastating drought since then. They put on a pretty show but they have been an unmitigated disaster for the Corbin football program. Too many people with their meddling hands in football matters that have no business being involved at all.

2.  Coach Salmons--- I think he has a chance to build something good here, if the Varsity Club and other meddlers and sycophants will allow him to do so.  He's a good coach. Leave him alone and let him do his thing. It's gonna take some time. Keep in mind that Greer left Corbin with no coach until June. Congrats to Coach Luke on win #1.

3.  ELI's COMING---  Surprised no one has mentioned it but what about our new defensive lineman... Mr. Pietrowski ? Good to see that the new coach is open to trying new things and putting the best athletes on the field, whether it be offense, defense, or BOTH!  Guys like Eli and Estep need to be on the field at all times. Same for all of your best athlete s. I expect to see Mr. Meadors and young Mr Brown on both sides of the ball, as well. They will both be a big help.

4.  Again, the 7-minutes of paying homage to a lecherous traitor like Tom Greer is inexcusable. Anyone involved in that decision should be fired, barred from within 500 feet of the school or athletic fields, AND tar and feathered on the streets of downtown Corbin. Am I clear???

5. Young Salmons is gonna be a good one. Made some plays on defense. He'll shine as QB next season. Fine athlete.

6. Corbin is three or four scores better than Pikeville. Having said that, Corbin was incredibly sloppy and undisciplined. Salmons has a lot to talk about this week.

7. I thought the Pikeville coached lacked boldness in this one. Way too conservative(must have been talking to Jet this week) in playcalling and in decisions. I felt like there were times he should have gone for a first down and continuing a drive instead of punting. It seemed almost like he was playing to keep the game from being a blowout, rather than going all out to take the game from Corbin.

8. As far as the atmosphere in this one; well,  Jesus wept and  the crowd slept. Fans seemed to be bored to tears especially in the second half.  I heard more food talk, fart jokes, and MAGA madness than I care to hear in lifetime. Few seemed interested in the football that was trying to be played.  I guess everyone was spoiled by that scintillating Douglass game last season. They were expecting a game like the Fred Douglass game and got Fred Flintstone, instead.

9. Best of luck to both Corbin and Pikeville moving forward. We'll see much better from both of these teams as the season progresses.

10. I will say, the field itself is beautiful. I hope we see a state semifinal on that field some day.


And so it goes...

Still trying to find out- why could meadors and the other kid not get to play? Not enough practices or what? I was excited to see them last night. Added depth and athletes! Look for meadors to return kicks as well I’ve heard

Meadors will be electric. He's a fine return specialist and an outstanding defensive back. He has elite. sub 4.50/40 speed.  The Brown kid can also play both ways. Best known as a defensive end, he can also play TE, as well. Good athlete. Fine basketball player, too. They will be big additions.
