Guys,
All I was saying is that the JC team played like I thought they would play. They came to win a Big Sandy game and they did so. They wanted the win and played with intensity and determination, I have to give credit where credit is due. On my side of the ball I just don't think I got the same type of intensity and will to win that we showed last Thursday night against New Harlan. I'm not saying our kids didn't play hard, if you were to ask them about our post game speech you would hear them say that they just didn't ever get into that groove that we were in against New Harlan. That had a whole lot to do with the JC kids lining up and hitting us in the mouth and willing themselves to a victory. I take part of that blame, it is my job as the coach to have those kids motivated and ready to play a game. I guess we will move on and hope that we can get the train back on the track before next Saturday when we play Clay County in the Unite Bowl at Leslie County. I know one thing for sure. Next week there will be a whole bunch of fundamental tackling drills ran in practice because we have to get rid of the arm tackling and playing on the backs of our heels on defense. Our running backs will learn next week that we do not need to stop and fake left or juke right, we need to be lowering our heads and running through would be tacklers and this will be fixed before the Clay County game. There was no disrespect meant towards my team, we will have games like that but it can't be against a top notch program like Johnson Central.
