John Hardin DID absolutely annihilate Woodford County. And I bet the speed on that side of the state is something that not many teams in EKY see on a regular basis, or ever. Teams like Hopkinsville have probably gone through more athletes in the last decade that EKY teams have ever even seen outside of television. Imagine bigger, faster versions of Bryan Station.

Good news is, only one of those teams makes it to the state finals. Where generally, they are slaughtered by the NKY team, which has speed AND coaching.

You hit the nail on the head! Spead and coaching makes the difference. Just ask Madison Central after last weeks game with Highlands. Madison was huge compared to Highlands, but their off/def lines were slow. They had some speedy backs and receivers, but poor coaching did not use them like they should have. Madisons offense was so simple and inaffective. There was no pass attempt greater than 7-8 yards. They have speep but will not spreed out the defense to take advantage of it. Highlands offense uses the run and pass and spreeds the defense. Would love to see what Madison Central would do with Highlands coaching staff.
