While they may have been pushed around, we must realize that JC is a good 5A team, not an average one. They are big and strong and will compete with anyone in 5A. That being said, Breathitt will learn from this game and will improve. No big deal losing to JC................

You must be obvlivious to the fact that BC was a state semi-finalist last year? Their team is far from average. That being said, I had two things that caught my eye last night:

1. The incredible running game of JC. I am still at a loss for words at how amazing they are doing for a first game when it comes to gaining yards through their running game. I can't wait for future games and see how Dillon, Richardson, and Bratton do. BC is a ranked team and can play great ball, and with the offensive line making great blocks, it was quite easy for the three in the backfield to make great yards. Congratulations to Matney on a great offensive line and backfield.

2. The defensive line. I am amazed at how physical JC's Defensive line is this year. I honestly do believe, considering this is the first game, that the D-line is the best JC has ever had. Size and speed. 330 pound Wolford just had me at a loss for words last night, as he showed that he wants to play. He physically plowed down that center every play, rushing the QB many times. His strength and ability to play the field will be a major advantage to the Eagles in future games. Although his speed may not be as great as the tackles, you can't be shocked due to his weight. His speed for his size is amazing, considering. Alongside Wolford would also be Harlow and Brown. Harlow looked impressive last night as well, and showed that half a year of being ineligible didnt slow him down any. I look for a great year for Harlow. His speed impressed me for his size as well. Brown also had a great game last night. He also showed that a whole year of being ineligible wouldnt stop him from helping JC defensively. The trio of Harlow, Wolford, and Brown keeps me at a loss for words, and their physical playstyle keeps me optimistic when I think about future games against teams such as Belfry. I don't think any team can effectively run against the Defensive Trio. JC has exactly what the D-line needs. Solid Strength and power in the middle, and speed on the outside. Considering the line played a team full of quick passes and bomb passes, they fared well, incredibly well actually.

This year will be quite exceptional for the Eagles, and I can't wait for the outcome. Goodluck Eagles and great game played!
