This one will get ugly in a hurry. I wonder how Corbin's weak district schedule will impact their preparedness for the playoffs. It's lucky for them that their last regular season game is against Pulaski County.

I think really that can be said for a lot of teams, the districts are awful and really needs to come up with something different, I don't even understand what a district really is anymore other than getting a team a couple of guaranteed games and 1st two round playoff opponents. Very few teams have a tuff go in a district. So, no matter who is mentioned it can be argued that they play a weak district or possibly a weak schedule other than the few teams who schedule tuff. We all know who those teams are. I think this is the time of year coaches has to make practice tuff and keep the kids focused. I think the Pulaski game was a smart move on Salmons and Burns to make it happen. Whitley game should be a good game for Corbin to work on the run defense. Whitley runs the ball and hardly passes. Well, no better time to work on run defense than the present. Because no matter who you play in the deep playoffs, they all can run and then some can run and pass. Corbin rolls. 

I like a schedule like Johnson Central has this season better. Their schedule is open on the last week of the season and they play Ashland the week before. That gives them two weeks, the open week and a game against a weak opponent, to rest injured players and to prepare for their first round playoff game. I know coaches don't like to talk about games beyond the next one on the schedule, but part of that extra week could be devoted to begin preparing for a tough second round game. I like ending the regular season against a tough opponent and having an extra week to prepare for the playoffs.
