[Colonel Kill]

Great game by the Rebels last night. I know AC had to here from media and several people all week how fast and how well conditioned Paintsville was, until AC beat some one on the radar the were just Allen Central, AC was good but not at the level of a Paintsville or Pikeville, AC had played cupcakes and Paintsville played tough teams, AC needed to play a tougher schedule to get read for a Paintsville and how a power game was good but speed kills, all you have to do is stop the Crowder and AC had no answer for Doderer. All I can say is all of those people are pretty quite on here now but I guess when you have a mouth full of crow it is hard to talk.

The Crowders plaed a great game and I saw both run to very long TD's and the Tigers could not catch them with Doderer on the field. They also punished the defense players making tackles. The oline for AC controlled the game and gave the backs some good blocks and really wore down the Tiger defense. But I think the game was won with AC's defense. Coach Hall came in with a great game plan to stop Paintsville's offense. The defensive unit really stepped up and took on the challenge. Doderer was hit hard and often and by the 3rd quarter he was getting up slower and slower. Doderer played very hard and is a great back but unlike a few on here I think it was the AC D the slowed Doderer and did not allow him to get loose outside. Weather is part of the game and both teams had to play in it. I did not see either team slipping and falling a lot. The conditions did help both teams have a couple of turnovers. I think AC had their starters in because it was 28-6 until AC scored running up the gut trying to use clock and Paintsville was trying to score and has the potential to score quick and often and Coach Hall wanted to keep Paintsville from scoring quick. And after the final score I think the AC d staed in to slow the Tiger offense down and not give up a quick score. Doderer was in the game on the final drive for Paintsville when they were down 34-6 with under 6 minutes to go in the game, where they still trying to come back? If so why was it bad for AC to have their D in to slow them down. If Paintsville thought they could come back shouldn't AC also think they should stop any comeback.

Congrats to the Rebels, keep it rolling and work even harder this week to get ready for Pikeville. Hard fought game by the Tigers and I wish the Paintsville kids nothing but the best of luck the rest of the season.
