McCoart was hit a lot and a sizable chunk of his yardage came from his second and third efforts. He crossed the line once carrying so many Corbin players with him, I don't think there was any room for more. If Corbin's plan was to give up a lot of yards to speed up the game, then the Redhounds did a great job making it look like they were trying to tackle JC's running backs.

I think if these two teams play again, JC should consider kicking onsides every time. It didn't seem to matter where either team started their drives. If Corbin's plan was to let JC score quickly, then their kicker would not have put the ball in the end zone on nearly every kickoff.
true, good points. I had heard that JC had done a great job of taking a lot of the best tacklers on Corbin's Defense out of plays all night. I had heard also from Corbin fans that the announcer did a great job all night and they really thought JC had a awesome stadium.

I think either team will have to play a instant classic out of their minds game to beat Boyle this season. but I think in my opinion that if what I have heard is true that Malachi Brown was cleared yesterday than he will help Corbin Defense immensely. he is a big and fast Defense end and he will get a lot of attention trying to keep him out of the backfield and I think it will help out the other guys to make plays when he is being double teamed. but I will say he is a beast and I've seen him shred double teams in the scrimmages at the start of the season.

Malachi will definitely help. He is a 15 y.o., 6'4" , 235lb manchild. Helluva athlete, was top 15 ranked in his class in basketball in WVA. Can also play TE, great hands and footwork. Can't wait to watch him. Hope he can make the defense a better unit overall. If the defense could be just adequate, this team would be very good.

I think you and other Corbin fans are selling this Corbin team short. Johnson Central would have played Corbin much closer last season had injuries not decimated JC's lineup during the season.

If McCoart had not been healthy for this season's matchup, the score would have been much different Friday night. Maybe JC would have marched up and down the field in chunks of mostly 3 to 4 yards a carry and kept the margin respectable, but there is no way that they would have scored over 50 points, and the Corbin faithful would have been talking about how well Corbin's defense contained JC.

Having two other good running backs, with a very effective fullback, makes McCoart better, and he makes them better. When you start taking away pieces of the offense, it just isn't the same. JC was due some good luck after having three straight injury plagued seasons. 

Corbin's offense looked much sharper to me than it did last season. I don't believe that Boyle County will sail through the playoffs unchallenged. They are definitely the favorites, but a good game plan executed perfectly beat another "unbeatable" Boyle County team a few years ago.

I always like your take on the Corbin program. I follow Corbin but don't have the insight that you do. As far as Greer, most people figured him out before he left. The program was always about him and never about the kids. "Corbin’s culture is a lose confederacy of egos and ghosts" is a great description. The head scratcher for me in your post is "certain 7th grade middle school head coach." A former Corbin 7th grade coach? Their current one seems pretty laid back and if I'm not mistaken, he doesn't even work in the Corbin school system.

That is an absolutely amazing statement right there. It is spot on, and written with a poetic touch that would make Ralph Waldo Emerson envious. Reminds me of a line in a Gordon Lightfoot classic: 

"Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost, you can't see



Corbin has absolutely compromised its future by chasing its past. And those ghosts do haunt!!! 42 years... I can't think of a better explanation.
Very well done, Hound!

I’m absolutely not selling this team short or if I came across that way I promise that wasn’t my intention Hoot…However I don’t think Corbin wins this game with the previous coaching staff, Salmons seems to be using schemes that fit the rosters capabilities instead of trying to force them into particular schemes because that’s all he knows how to coach….That being said what I was instead trying to point out was roster numbers, they’re no where near what they had been in years past, kids are being ran off by the Corbinites and this isn’t 2004 or even 1994 where parents are gonna tell a kid to just shut up and do as he’s told, when they see all the politics they’re not gonna force them to waste their time for selfish and inept coaches….Salmons maybe can right the ship but hiccups are coming and he could find himself in the same spot as another really good coach once he gets the roster numbers back, it’s what we’re becoming known for…..

I always like your take on the Corbin program. I follow Corbin but don't have the insight that you do. As far as Greer, most people figured him out before he left. The program was always about him and never about the kids. "Corbin’s culture is a lose confederacy of egos and ghosts" is a great description. The head scratcher for me in your post is "certain 7th grade middle school head coach." A former Corbin 7th grade coach? Their current one seems pretty laid back and if I'm not mistaken, he doesn't even work in the Corbin school system.
Theres only been one since the last one retired because of his health (after winning multiple middle school state championships) Haven’t won one since he retired and the coach im referring to is a Corbinite he’s always been taken care of whether he’s teaching in the district or not….
