Boyle defense got exposed by good game plan/coaching by Cov Cath offense that just ran them over. They could play 10 times and Cover Cath still runs them over so you don’t need to combine all those teams to beat Boyle, just Cov Cath. Who cares if Boyle could or would in some fantasy world beat anyone because it’s Paducah vs Franklin for the title, that’s all that matters. Congrats to both on getting there!

As for Corbin, I thought the offense got exposed/out coached in second half and failed to make adjustments to the ever increasing pass rush of Paducah. Corbin decided they were going to try to block 6-7 rushers with just 5 lineman while running deep routes and either motioning the rb out or a swing route by the RB over and over. That worked first half because of Elam’s legs and his phenomenal performance running. Paducah just kept bringing more rushers in the second half  until they could finally bottle Elam up. Officiating seemed balanced to me, I’d have to see yardage totals but it’s probably close if you remove the unsportsmanlike conduct penalties at the end by Corbin. All of the holds on Corbin were the product of them asking 5 guys to continually block 6-7 combined with the QB scrambling. Paducah stacked the box and forced Corbin to try to beat them with screens, quick passing game or some form of the run game and Corbin couldn’t do it and/or didn’t have the play calling to do it. Their screens were effective and they went away from them when they needed it most.  I was also surprised Corbin gave up so early, 5:30 to go in the game and you throw the towel in??
As for the season, I think Corbin had a great year and should be proud and not let anyone diminish what they accomplished. Salmons should be commended, him and his team outperformed expectations of most, especially the same people who will pretend this season was a bust.

Refs didn’t win this game, Paducah defense did. They adjusted and Corbin didn’t score in the second half.

I think Paducah will beat Franklin by 2+ TDs and it would not surprise me if they don’t win by 4tds

I agree wholeheartedly that Corbin didn't make necessary adjustments and PT did.  This is the second striaght year it has ended similarly . Last season, 14-14 at halftime. Corbin fails to score in the second half, losing 21-14. This year,  leading 14-10 at halftime, fails to score in the second half. Poor second half coaching, especially with lack of adjustments on offense. Now that Kid Elam is moving on to play shortstop. I hope the Bart Elam era is coming to an end, as well. He just  hasn't been good enough in these winnable season ending games. I'm ready for him to be gone.

It’s hard to make adjustments on the “players” they were against. Buy stock in icy hot, that side judge gonna have tennis elbow. But PT won at the end of the day. Didn’t have much against PT, but after what I witnessed tonight I hope they get their sh!t stomped in.

They are right up there with Johnson Central(and their ass fans)  in my book.  Tilghman's clearly not a very classy bunch, either.  Have you ever in your life seen(at any level) a team kick off from the opposing team's 30 yard line after three straight penalties called right in succession? Ridiculous.

Don’t bring BC into this thread. Keep it on the game at hand, I wanna hear all the comments!

Who died and made you a moderator?  Boyle's better than Corbin and Paducah 's combined talent.

That kickoff was due to a couple of Corbin players having a complete meltdown. After an offside penalty on PT extra point, the reality hit them they were done. They kept mouthing flag after flag after flag and wouldn't shut up. Two of them completely lost their composure. Slamming their helmets on the sideline and crying on the coach's shoulder once they were removed from the field. Everyone understand the emotions of a players' last game but don't act like it was on the officials or that it was "ridiculous". It's all on video to see but keep making up your own narrative.

My narrative says those stripes were involved in some grotesque mischief all damn night long.  With over 20 flags against the visiting team , it was only a matter of time before everything went completely to hell. Again, Salmons & players should have boarded the buses and left town at the five minute mark. No need in allowing that spectacle to continue. I will get out of a wheelchair and crawl to Campbell Field, if necessary, if those Paducah Blue Sky ever have to show up at Campbell Field and play. I've talked to some Corbin fans that made the trip out west.  They are not gonna soon forget this one.
