Mama Bear,

Not sure what happened to our pass defense, yeah I do, they threw perfect passes and we covered pathetically. The play in question was an onside kick that they recovered but the the recovery happened after only 8 yards and the ball is dead at that point and it's illegal touching on the kicking team. Scared the heck out of me, I was sitting on the 50 yard line and almost came out of my seat. I saw it directly in front of me and so did the people in the box that they caught the ball on the bounce after only 8 yards but I didn't think the ref's were going to call it that way but they eventually did. Defense went all to pieces on Coach Howard and he has some work to do before next Saturday's championship game against Breathitt (Sebastian). They are very physical team that loves to pass the ball on offense and as you can tell we didn't defend it well tonight so I am sure that they will air it out in Johnson County next Saturday at 8:00. I'm sure the defensive coordinator (Tom Sayers) will pull out all the tricks this week to get into those cornerbacks and safety's heads, hopefully anyway. Go Cougars......
