The cougars come up just short.

[Bull got out!]

Congratulations Johnson Central!! Sounded like a good game!

[jetpilot]

Great game, Cougars are for real. Got to love it for LCC.

[TheStickyBandit]

I knew this game would be closer than what most predicted but I didn’t expect it to be that close. 

Sounds like Letcher had plenty of chances to win this one.

A win is a win…. I guess. But what does this say about JC? Did they potentially over look Letcher?

[Hoot Gibson]

Johnson Central made a couple of blunders in the first half that let Letcher County Central grab the momentum, but LCC had a great game plan and executed very well. The Cougars may surprise some teams in the playoffs. I was under the mistaken impression that Jonah Little is most of LCC's offense. He has got some talented teammates and a good, big offensive line. LCC converted several key 3rd and 4th downs to sustain drives. JC moved the chains but LCC did a good job limiting the Golden Eagles possessions with their offense.

Good luck in the playoffs, LCC!

[64SUR]

Congratulations Golden Eagles!!

Well…. You were right. I’ll eat my crow. You said it would be close. I thought maybe a
48-54ish to 14-21. I thought that would be on a good night for LCC. 

I starting listening at the 4th qtr. sounds like they were having problems stopping the pass and the QB scrambling. But I honestly have no idea overall. That was a 10 minute cut out of an 80 minute game. Would be interested in hearing the thoughts of the fans that were there. Old guy? Running wild?

I don’t think they looked over Letcher I just think people didn’t realize how good that Letcher OLine is. Letcher had a slow start to season because of how manny freshman and sophomores they start especially on defense but this team has gotten better and better all season. What I loved the most about this game is JC really focused on shutting down Little and a bunch of the young cougars kids played really well. Letcher should be really good next couple of years.

Letcher won’t have an easy game round 1. North Laurel will be coming in who already beat JC earlier this year.

[Old School Hound]

A 1-point loss to North Laurel and a 1-point win at home against Letcher leads one to believe JC has a very low probability of winning at Corbin, Lex Cath or Boyle.

I don't think they overlooked LCC at all. They jumped out to a 14-0 lead on the first play of the second quarter. JC made a mistake kicking to LCC's return guys. The onside kick that LCC recovered was also a momentum changer. I am not sure whether JC executed poorly on a few plays or if the game plan did not account for LCC's speed. JC's defense struggled to get pressure on Little. He is an outstanding football player.

Is north Laurel in 4A?

^^^True OSH but if you try to take that to the bank you might get embarrassed

North laurel?

I think you might have your wires crossed North Laurel is 5A. LCC is 4

But you are correct. They won’t have an easy game. But they won’t be playing Corbin either. Probably Knox central I think without looking at it

All good hound I eat crow most weeks lol 

Like I said in the other thread, I didn’t know a lot about Letcher and you had me second guessing myself haha

if we were right all the time it wouldn’t be fun.

[Old School Hound]

^^^True OSH but if you try to take that to the bank you might get embarrassed

Oh, I'm not going to the bank with it. That's for sure. Just saying I would favor any of those teams by a couple of scores over JC.  Anything can happen on a given night, though.

[Old guy]

The momentum swing was a big turning point. LCC has weapons and can play. This kind of reminded me of some of the old Ashland and JC games. I was a little off on my prediction. I knew LCC had the pieces. From my seat, it appears in the 4th quarter, LCC had some issues getting the play in and getting set, causing the, to use up their timeouts on the last scoring drive, which ultimately sealed their fate. If they had a couple timeouts…the last drive could have been way different for them. I thought it was a great game overall, there were a couple holds missed on LCC’s final scoring drive, but make no mistake, none of this is a slight to LCC..I was impressed.

[Patriot1]

Congratulations to Johnson central but it was closer than I expected

Never mind. Got confused there. Thought NL was in with Corbin and Wayne but they are in with Pulaski in 5A. Yes Knox beat Lincoln tonight 30-28. Lincoln goes to JC and Knox goes to Letcher. Most likely 2nd round will be Letcher at Corbin and Wayne at JC

After this game, OSH. I would tend to agree. I would 100% agree outside of one variable. And that variable, well I think you know who he is. But seeing the results of games these past two weeks has me feeling better and better.

Don’t know who was listening to the stream. But those holding calls must have been pretty bad. You could hear people in the booth screaming it. The announcer said it was right in front of the white hat and he bear hugged him. I get there is holding on every play. But if it was indeed that, and it definitely effected the play. You got to throw it. 

Did little get hurt? The announcer said he was on the sideline for the last 3 plays.

JET CLEAR YOU INBOX. I tried to send you a message

A 1-point loss to North Laurel  and a 1-point win at home against Letcher leads one to believe JC has a very low probability of winning at Corbin, Lex Cath or Boyle.

One would be mistaken to draw that conclusion. Letcher County Central is very good offensively, with a very quick and talented quarterback who is as much a threat to run as he is to pass - not unlike Simon Kenton. Like Simon Kenton, if their offense plays well, LCC can make your defense look worse than it is. Corbin was lucky to escape the game with Simon Kenton with a win. Johnson Central was lucky to win tonight. They were one big play or mistake away from a loss.

[Hound05]

Did LCC run it much? Not QB scramble. But a designed run play? The reason I ask is someone made a comment about them finally running it, or something like that?

Honestly, I think he was in…but I was just wrapped up in being a fan..lol. The holds were clear as day…no way they should have not been called…it definitely did effect the plays. Either way, the playoffs should be interesting…

[Running wild 14]

LCC running backs ran the ball well. They finally started giving the ball some to sophomore Kolby Johnson and busted a 40 yard TD first time he got a carry and coaches son Matthews played really good to. Little had a 50 yard TD on a called run.

I can kind of see the comparison. But not actual team wise. SK has beaten some good teams. LCC lost to an avg at best hazard team who pikeville just took to the woodshed. And a TN team who is very avg. 

but I will agree with you in a way. Certain teams matchup better and worse than another team would. Like a good pass offense vs an avg pass defense. You see it early in the year a lot, and like this, sometimes in district play. Plus teams respond to others differently too. I thought for a long time that lex cath gets a little more motivated against boyle than they would against Scott. Or similar. Lincoln county played us good for the past 2 seasons. But we’d kill a team that beat them. But looking back at it now, an avg team played us tight, we thought it was just one of those games, and we
overestimated ourselves, and didnt know until we played a great team, of just how much we did.

Only thing I know about Knox is they lost to Harlan co which is crazy. Harlan co looked awful against Letcher a couple weeks ago.

Seemed like I heard his name called a time or two. Did a Jc player get hurt? Or an LCC? Either way prayers. Burn I don’t know the names. But they said a Db got hurt and a LB had to move to that spot.

[DukeBoy]

Corbin will beat LCC by 50 if they play. Mark it down. Wayne County will beat LCC by 3 TDs. LCC can handle Wayne or Knox. North Laurel is 5A.
