They won't understand what is necessary to beat Central. Trying to gadget and trick Central won't work. They don't have the self discipline to beat them. That's what's missing.

And just what was Bell missing?

[Cardfan1]

Throwing over the top will be a key. IMO the hounds lack here. It's how WC was able to beat the jackets.

if thats the case. Corbin is missing the good coaching staff it takes to have them disciplined and prepared to beat Central.

[Bobcatsrocks]

All you have to do to beat central is stop the run up the middle with the bliz and cover good with the Db's most of all is tackling. They are not that good bell just don't blitz and couldn't tackle last Friday. But good luck to Corbin we will be pulling for you guys.

so they are a run heavy team?

[52 smash]

Central is always a run heavy team. The difference that mountain teams don't get is their athletes allow them to cover 1 on 1 on the outside while loading the box. In high school this kills. Its the reason why teams which athletes dominate. Add in a really good coach like Scroggins and you have the recipe for winning multiple championships…..I.E. 4 out of the past 6 3A champs. Until you play Central on a constant basis you don't get it. Both Central and Tilghman get it. Recipe= schedule really tough non conference, have athletes everywhere, win games in the post season. Theres no other explanation for their continued success. Everyone else schedules cupcakes pretty much and then pounds their chest until they eventually lose in the playoffs. Records doesn't mean squat until playoff one and done. Corbin is a very fine team I'm sure but beating Bell in OT at home is different than beating Central. Central will come out swinging and then Corbin will start to feel all the pressure from their home crowd and it will snowball..Ive seen it too many times from playing, coaching, and being a fan in high school ball. I would bet the farm that Central wins by 2 or more scores. JMHO

[bcpc]

I don't own a farm.... So I can't make that bet..... But, we will exchange addresses and I'll send a a gift card for a steak dinner if they win by 2 td.... Will that work?! Were poor here in the mountains.

I like Outback Steakhouse....

Last I time I looked the defending 3A state champs were from Belfry and I would say Belfry is a mountain team. PT got beat last year by I think Wayne County, so you can take that theory and stick it up your:moon:

[bcpc]

Sure, central is strong... And, they are fast... And I get it, they cover 1-1 and blitz. I'm sure they are a great team! Maybe the best we have played yet besides Pulaski and Bell. But HAddix and coach Cal have something in common.... They Platoon! Lol. Nah, in all seriousness, it'll be a hard out for Corbin.. I think the balanced team will win... Greer will have the D ready.

Oh come on Tilghman fan you guys can't be 1A mayfield...new team in the west this year Corbin :Cheerlead

[52 smash]

you're right we haven't beat Mayfield in almost a decade. Lets see neither has really anyone else. Im not making my point through blue shaded glasses. Just trying to give some perspective on a game i don't have a fight in thats all. I know very well that Corbin is a really good team. That is my take on the game.Didnt mean to get all you mountain folk in a tizzy…I love mountain football to be honest. 3 yards and a cloud of dust is how i played anyway. Just a different animal with speed all over the field and stiffer comp through the year. I will be pulling for a good game and all will be healthy. Ohhh and serious question: how does everyone think Corbins record would be against PT or Centrals schedule???

Reading comprehension is key here. I said 4 out of six. Also i really think given a better weather situation,,,,,Wayne beats Belfry handily. Wayne went for it twice on 4th and goal so maybe a lil questionable play calling as well 3-0 was the final score .:Clap:Relax everyone its only Sunday…we have a whole week to debate..lol:biggrin::dudecomeon:

Central 34 Corbin 23

But they didn't, did they? hh:

nope they didn't…again just an observation.:insane:

[E's Army]

Pulaski, SW, Bell and Knox Central were all good games. 3 of those games Corbin is playing up. Danville was a pretty good test also. 3 more district games and South Laurel who is a local rival who brings a good gate. Don't understand the Trimble County game. 4 good out of district opponents. About every good athlete worth having at Corbin is in uniform. Haddix is a good coach. Sounds like Corbin knows how to bake a cake.

[Pirate4Life]

I do not see Central losing this game. They may not be the Central of ole but they are always aggressive, quick as a cat, and hungry for another ring.

Central 33
Corbin 21

[Motivator]

This one will be a crazy ball game, turn overs will play a big part. If Corbin can throw the ball and have success they will be playing in the Semi - state.

[kcfan#1]

corbin wins in a tight one
21-14

[Belfry0304]

I really... REALLY want Corbin to win.
Unfortunately, I struggle to pick against Central in November and beyond.

Corbin has knocked a lot of Goliath's off over the years. I wouldn't count them out just yet.

[cuppett777]

If Corbin can control the line of scrimmage they will control the game. If not it could be a long night. I agree central has some good athletes but can they handle the power and muscle Corbin will throw at them?

they handled Belfry teams 4 times,so there not scared

[Scotty_Bronson]

Corbin too deep and strong upfront. Will slow the game down and neutralize Centrals speed.

Corbin 35
Central 28

[Belfry0304]

I usually take all merit away from anyone who says the key to beating a good running team is to blitz, think about it and if you have much football sense you'll see why that's not the best idea.

I like Corbin in this match up. Speed isn't everything. It's great to have don't get me wrong but when you get hit in the mouth 6 or 7 times you tend to not run as hard. Corbin wins because they will be more physical up front. Win the line of scrimmage you win the game. Corbin 34 Central 28

[Objective]

Central 42 Corbin 14

this game will be pick 6 for days and Corbin will not be able to handle the option or #5 on defense. Good luck Hounds enjoy the Band
