Johnson Central vs Lawrence County PREDICTIONS

[CatDawg]

Lets go ahead and get this one going.

Right now I have to take the Eagles in this one I'll post my score later but I don't think its going to be pretty.

[Tomcat68]

Eagles by a lot. This may really be their season to charge for a regional and state title with how Rockcastle seems to be playing this season.

[IISnakE]

JC by as many as they deem necessary.

[cbls_75]

Jc- 40
Lc- 0

[Kayaker]

Last year the Eagles beat LC 43-0. IMO JC's defense is much improved over last year and the running game although missing alot of key players, whom all but JK Ratliff should be back for this game, is still very balanced and strong. After watching the LC run defense I would say that JC can pretty much run wild in this game and possibly pitch another shut out against the struggling offense of LC. Unless JC has a major let-down mentally and overlooks LC, JC should dominate from beginning to end. My prediction:

JC: 49
LC: 7

[Moose Nuck]

Unless JC has a major let-down mentally and overlooks LC, JC should dominate from beginning to end.

I agree, maybe we will see a running clock in this game.

JC 55
LC 6

[t-cat50]

LC aren't the team they usaully are.
JC is they the team they worked hard to be so i'll take JC by aleast 4TD's.

[Charlie]

This game will get "ugly" quick....Eagles way too much for the bulldogs...

[MVP2]

I agree JC by a lot ....Eagles is jus too much for the Bulldogs

[smoke_on1]

bad new bears for lc....jc will have there way with the bulldogs....49-6 jc

[Batpuff]

Guys say what you want to say, LC isnt going to lay down, I look for LC to play one **** of a game friday night. So all you JC band wagon jumpers say what you want to, LC will be fine. They may not win but I dont look for a blow out, but I am still confident that the DAwgs will be fine come friday night.

Come on guys who has JC played this year there in state competion is only 3-4 with two games that I have no clue what there records are there not that good other than south point being the best out of the two out of state teams.

While Lawrence Co oppentents record including in and out of state teams has a combined team record of 10-3. While we have taken some bumps while playing top notch competion, it will only make us better. SO JC better be ready to play come friday night because the Dawgs is going to line-up and smack you.

I dont think that it is just people jumping on the bandwagon just the way this game looks it will play out. JC's schedule overall has been pretty weak but ill throw this out at you and let you bite on it. JC played South Point, OH in week 2 and beat them handily 35-7. The following week the Pointers played a team called Wheelerburg and beat them 21-14. This same Wheelersburg team played perennial powerhouse Ironton the week before and were beat by Ironton on a last second field goal. JC is talented this year and very, very deep. The reason that i believe this game will be a blow out is the fact the the O-lines and D-lines of LC are very weak. I seen LC's oline against PCC and if they cant block them then there is no way they can handle the front 7 of JC. Also JC's secondary is very solid in having already forced 8 INT's on the season. LC's run defense has been very suspect this year against Sheldon Clark, Belfry, and Coal Grove, OH and you are going to see just as good of a backfield probably with more depth than those others you faced. They play this games for a reason, and like i said if JC overlooks LC they could be in for a tough game and possibly and Loss, but if JC comes to play early then it will get ugly fast.

[Benchwarmer]

JC in this one.

[THUNDERCHILD]

Could be an upset but I don't think so. JC in a big way. I hope Im wrong.

I agree LC always plays a **** of a game but I don't think they will win.

[CatDawg]

I wish, I hope, I pray but I'm not stupid either JC wins. And don't forget one of the best LC players from last year will be on the other side of the field.

[Batpuff]

I wish, I hope, I pray but I'm not stupid either JC wins. And don't forget one of the best LC players from last year will be on the other side of the field.

One of the best players from last year, he was by far our best player last year.

What really makes me sick is how we cant even get our own supporters to support our program when they are down.

[Batpuff]

I wish, I hope, I pray but I'm not stupid either JC wins. The only stupid thing is the lack of nonsupport that we get from the so called LC supporters on here, its all fine when they were winning but now that they are a little down every seems to say the **** with them, what kind of message do you think that your sending the boys from LC who read this message board!!!!!



All I can say if you cant support them now then to **** with it dont support them at all!!!!!!!

[dawgmom]

This is going to be a very hard fought game. The team is excited and pumped up over this game. Personally I can't wait for kickoff. I'm hoping the Dawgs come out on top and you never know. Record wise, JC should blow LC out, but this is why you play the game, you just never know what will happen.

[Dawg Family]

Are we going to get any of are starters back for this game batpuff I think we had 3 out for the PCC game last week??

[DEVILOLOGIST]

JC by 24, with 5 turnovers in the game.

[Golden Eagle]

This is still a 16 year old KID we're talking about here. With these types of comments I can see why he left. Who was in your opinion your best player last year?

[NYY10]

Hate to say it but the Eagles will murder them 56-6

[Batpuff]

This is still a 16 year old KID we're talking about here. With these types of comments I can see why he left. Who was in your opinion your best player last year?

Well we had a couple of players that stand out Aaron Smith, Ferguson, Coty Roberts just to name a few.

[CatDawg]

One of the best players from last year, he was by far our best player last year.

What really makes me sick is how we cant even get our own supporters to support our program when they are down.

Probably was but I'm not going to say anyone is the best player since it takes the team to make everyone as good as they are no matter how good.

[CatDawg]

The only stupid thing is the lack of nonsupport that we get from the so called LC supporters on here, its all fine when they were winning but now that they are a little down every seems to say the **** with them, what kind of message do you think that your sending the boys from LC who read this message board!!!!!



All I can say if you cant support them now then to **** with it dont support them at all!!!!!!!

If LC plays the best that they can play and JC overlooks them then LC could win. You can support them without looking through are Black and Red glasses all the time.

LC has nothing to be ashamed of they've lost several good players in the past couple of years for different reasons and we've just not gotten back to where we once were but that's why they play the game. It doesn't matter what any of us think it will be decided on the field.

But if these boys can only play and try if people on a message board talk them up then something is wrong. I'm not down on them a bit in the three games that I saw they never stopped coming and left it on the field and that is all any of us can ask for.

I could care less if they win or lose every single game as long as they leave it on the field. Within the past few years you couldn't say that, as soon as they got behind they would quit but not this team.

I wish I could have made the trip to PCC Friday but when you don't get off work until close to 6pm and your still two hours away you just can't make it but I've made three of four and that's good enough for me.

[CatDawg]

Couldn't agree more.

[Meade]

JC in a blowout

JC 56
LC 6

[Old school Dawg]

I hope our boys do read this because if this dont fire them up nothing will.Rise to the challenge Dawgs especially the seniors.Remember Buster Douglas knocking out Tyson?Well Central is not that much better.Lets turn this into a smashmouth game and see if we might catch Central flat.Matney hollers so much maybe it will fall on the young eagles deaf ears.Dawgs will always have good fans if the effort is at its maximum.Go Dawgs

[BlackcatAlum]

Jc--49
Lc--0

[Old school Dawg]

One more thing I thought with the injuries we had against Belfry and the way we hung in there I know we have the potential.We need a break,,a fumble,,a kickoff for a touchdown just something.

[Golden Eagle]

I hope our boys do read this because if this dont fire them up nothing will.Rise to the challenge Dawgs especially the seniors.Remember Buster Douglas knocking out Tyson?Well Central is not that much better.Lets turn this into a smashmouth game and see if we might catch Central flat.Matney hollers so much maybe it will fall on the young eagles deaf ears.Dawgs will always have good fans if the effort is at its maximum.Go Dawgs
If any team relies on a bunch of post's on a message board to fire them up there in a world of hurt. If players can't get fired up for this game well all that I can say is there's no flame left in them. Good luck to both teams this week. It's going to be smashed mouth football this week I'll gurantee that and I promise you that Central won't be flat. They realize the importance of this game.

[Old school Dawg]

Never said they relied on things said on here but trying to put a spin on the fact some think it might hurt a team.As far as Central the fact the beat us what once in the last 20 years they have reason to want to win.

[CatDawg]

I agree agree agree. I know the more of this that I read the more it would fire me up make me more determined to prove everyone wrong. Also the more they read maybe the more confident.

[Bulldog 4 Life]

I believe in our team and support them 110% Our team is young but they have the FIRE :flame: in them to WIN! I know one thing the Eagels will know that they have been in a DOG fight!!!!!!

It's not the size of the dog in the fight.....
It's the fight in the dog......

I truly believe in that statement.

GO BULLDOGS!!!!!
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE #1 IN MY BOOK!!!!

[Old school Dawg]

Boy you sure changed your mind in a hurry.You got a bobble head or what,,hehe All joking aside pal I said when Matney arrived at Central you all would become the best team year in and year out in the mountains.Central has always had big and good players but now you have a coach who is the best around.I would love to see Central win it all.Where did the Blume kid go to college and where is JJ JUDE.I would rather see Lawrence win it but would pull for Central.JJ Jude was the best little leauge football player around a few years back

[Bulldog 4 Life]

JJ Jude is in 7th grade and if you would have came to the 7th grade game this past Thursday you would have seen him play.(at LC) against our 7th Grade team...
I really like the Jude family but Johnson Central better not count on him staying because they follow Mattney and from what I understand he is just waiting for the position at Belfrey to open up and he will be going home...and the JUde family will go too.

[dfblackcat53]

Jc..above 60... Lc, under 10..

[Golden Eagle]

I didn't realize that you and Coach Matney were so close that he would share his future plans with you. I didn't realize that Haywood was retiring at Belfry so if it's not coming from Coach Matney were are you getting this insider info at. We have heard this garbage from the get go when he took over at Central. He has told me and others that he has no interest in the Belfry job. He's even said himself that the people that start these rumors about the Belfry job are just doing so because they are scared of him staying at JC. We have heard this talk about him leaving for a while now and I must say that I'm quite surprised that it's coming from a Bulldog fan instead of the scared tiger fans that we are used to hearing this nonsense from. Jim has stated from day one that he's going to build a program at Johnson Central and he is VERY happy were he is at. Why do you care if he go's to Belfry and what's this got to do with this weeks game. Is this all there is to talk about in Louisa? :rolleyes:

[CatDawg]

I don't think Matney matters to LC after this year because if he stays he'll be in 5A and if he goes to Belfry he'll either be in 2A or 3A not sure where Belfry lands while LC will be in 4A.

[Old school Dawg]

Golden Eagle seems to get physically ill at the thought of Matney leaving.Matney also had said he wasnt leaving Sheldon Clark.Matney going back to Belfry has been something Matney shared with anyone who would listen when he was younger.Take a chill pill Golden Eagle and enjoy the success you guys are having.Be nice!!!

[Golden Eagle]

That's why I was curios why a Lawrence fan would be bringing up the old "Matney to Belfry" topic again. It usually comes from our scared neighbors from across the creek.

[Bulldog 4 Life]

Sorry I ruffled you'r feathers....
I was just replying to Old School Dog as to were JJ Jude is at this time. Who knows where he will be in the future.

[Old school Dawg]

Good response Bulldog for life.See Golden Eagle how nice Bulldog 4 life is being.Everyone needs to just be nice.I played on the first LCHS football team and have seen every team that ever was here play and with all the trouble in the world football is something to take us all away from that so lets keep it friendly and sorry if I ever come across mean spirited because Im usually smiling the whole time im typing.High School football DONT U ALL LOVE IT

[Golden Eagle]

I'm being nice and I'm not getting "physically ill at the thought of Matney leaving". He stayed at Sheldon Clark almost twenty years for heavens sake. Believe me old school I am enjoying the success and trust me when I say it's going to last for a while. It's always good to here from our neighbors of the North and I look forward to coming to Louisa Friday. What time does Lisa's close?

[Old school Dawg]

Im not sure pal but it stays open pretty late.I personally hope Matney retires at Central.Good luck the rest of the season.I was surprised at the margin of victory against Bryan Station with your qb out.

[Golden Eagle]

Sorry I ruffled you'r feathers....
I was just replying to Old School Dog as to were JJ Jude is at this time. Who knows where he will be in the future.
No feathers have been ruffled here friend (I don't have that many feathers left at my age) and please trust me when I say that JJ and family will be Eagles for a long time. Good luck to the Bulldogs this season, after Friday of course.

[Bulldog 4 Life]

Thanks and Good Luck to you also I'm sure you guys will go far....

[lpd826]

one thing people are not considering is that the Dawgs have changed thier offense and are now running the wishbone that they were so good at in the 90's so i dont think it will be a blow out we will hang in there and give them a game on this one...
JC-32
LC-18

[CatDawg]

:shh: LPD826

[RB#2]

Johnson Central with another win!
JC-42
LC-12

[Kayaker]

I laugh when i see some of the post that the LC supports uses on this website. "Were gonna BITE ya", "Going to be a DAWG FIGHT", its all just words that have no reflection on the LC teams now. This team has no defensive identity allowing over 28 points a game and couldnt even move the ball against a pitiful PCC defense. The past is the past, no one is scared of LC anymore. They are a mediocre team at best now and will be for a while. You talk about how young LC is well you could say JC is as well. JC will lose a total of 4 players of this years offense next year and 5 of the defense and they are still winning. Face it LC isnt the team they once were. And all this talk about Jim Matney leaving is nonsense, just sounds like wishful thinking to me. If he leaves to go to Belfry, his alma-mater, then that is fine with me, its where he grew up and many ppls dreams are to coach at the school they played football at. So who could blame him? I believe that Matney is alot more loyal than some of you believe but you have your opinions. I know for a fact that JC went after him hard when Bill Musick left but he said that he wouldnt leave his boys. I think that this time around it was just more than he could pass up and he wanted a new challenge. I will support Matney in whatever he does cause what he has done for JC is amazing in bring in all this support and excitement back to the football program. I have a feeling that alot of ppl in Lawrence Co. are going to be highly dissapointed at the end of this game just as they were last year when they were overhyped and left Eagle Field with a 43-0 thrashing that could have been worse.

[Tough Turf]

I don't think Matney matters to LC after this year because if he stays he'll be in 5A and if he goes to Belfry he'll either be in 2A or 3A not sure where Belfry lands while LC will be in 4A.


Since this is the last year for the 2 teams to play each other, both should show respect for each other. Its not like a "survivor" episode. The best team will win regardless. Everyone needs to be civilized. We need an eastern ky team to represent us in Louisville.

[cbls_75]

Its a no-brainer that Matney will end up at Belfry...I wish that Coach Matney would stay at JCHS forever...but its not going to happen....I don't really knows if thats his plan but if I was to bet a dollar on a fat pig's *** then Matney will end up at Belfry.

[TRAIN85]

johnson central in a laugher they win by 25-30

You don't really know his future plans but you say he will end up at Belfry. What makes you so sure about him ending up at Belfry? I get so sick of people talking out of there butt about subjects they are totally clueless about. This thread is about Friday's game for petes sake.

Golden Eagle makes a great point everyone. Lets end the talk about Matney going somewhere else in this thread. If you want to make another thread about it, feel free. Please only talk about predictions, strategy, players, etc. that will be effecting the outcome of the Johnson Central and Lawrence County game this week.

Well it was said one time and it wasnt even said like your making it out to be said, and it does reflect this years team, because in every game this year they hae left there mark on everyone they played even if it was a loss. But I guess JC is the only ones that can get excited about there team. I have nothing else to say other than come friday night we will see who is saying what ever. But Win Lose or Draw I will be right here and supporting the DAWGS!!!!!!! Also there could be a game two with the new playoff system.

[Golden Eagle]

What kind of depth does Lawrence have?

[Batpuff]

They play just about everyone, and anyone can fill in and play at the position.

If you look closely on the first page I made my prediction to the game. I was just making a comment to the whole Coach Matney situation? Who are you Coach Matney himself. I don't think so. I don't know what his plans are, nobody knows but him. Oh and I'm not talking out of my butt!!!

I believe that Tomcat68 made it pretty clear earlier. This thread is not about coach Matney. It is about the JC/LC game. Let's keep it that way. Thanks.

I was just making a comment on another post. I made a prediction on the game on the first page!!! Oh and the reason that JC will win is because LC lost some of its best players do to transfers. Losing Humphrey and Dials would hurt any team no matter what the talent level was. JC has an excellent defense that is tough on all three levels. Hampton has really stepped up from last year, breaking up passes and getting in on tackles. Johnson and Tackett well they are Johnson and Tackett

i think jc will deffinetly take this one

I couldn't have said it better myself....i agree with you 100%:Thumbs:

[JWBN4EA]

the Eagles will take this one by as much as they want

[The Guru]

Last year the Eagles beat LC 43-0. IMO JC's defense is much improved over last year and the running game although missing alot of key players, whom all but JK Ratliff should be back for this game, is still very balanced and strong. After watching the LC run defense I would say that JC can pretty much run wild in this game and possibly pitch another shut out against the struggling offense of LC. Unless JC has a major let-down mentally and overlooks LC, JC should dominate from beginning to end. My prediction:

JC: 49
LC: 7
Ok....although I agree on your theories...I see that last year JC kept LC scoreless.....but this year you think JC's D is better than last and yet they give up the TD?????

[Ridge Runner]

^ HA! That's funny! Good Point! JC should win hands down!:thumpsup:

[TRAIN85]

jc will win but no matter what the score is im sure lc will play hard

[Old school Dawg]

Golden Eagle Lisa,s stay,s open up 9o'clock,,have a safe trip pal.

[Golden Eagle]

Golden Eagle Lisa,s stay,s open up 9o'clock,,have a safe trip pal.
Thanks!

[Batpuff]

Guys its really sad that no one even gives LC any credit and think that there just going to walk in here and line-up as if there wasnt a team across from them. Just about everyone from JC is saying that JC is going to name there score. Since when can a team name how many points there going to put up against anyone. Do you really think that you guys have played anyone to say that your that good. IMO the teams are no where near the types of teams we have played. Come friday night we will find out the so called how many points your going to score. It is one thing to predict a score but to say they will name how many points they want,, get real.

Oh by the way I know it isnt basketball season, but you guys did that during basketball season after we got beat up there and then you came into our HOUSE and went home with the loss.

So how many times have you guys beaten us over the last 10 years. once or twice. Also what has JC done in the playoffs one and done, So unitl you can prove yourself in the Playoffs, you need to relax alittle and enjoy the season. Win lose or draw no matter who wins its still just a game that kids play. Also it doesnt matter what team it is as long as there is a team from Eastern Ky playing for the title I will be pulling for them..... So good luck to both teams friday night.

Also what has JC done in the playoffs one and done, So unitl you can prove yourself in the Playoffs, you need to relax alittle and enjoy the season. Win lose or draw no matter who wins its still just a game that kids play. Also it doesnt matter what team it is as long as there is a team from Eastern Ky playing for the title I will be pulling for them..... So good luck to both teams friday night.
BattPuff where do you get that everyone at JC is saying that JC will name the score? There have been TWO Eagle fans in this thread that actually made a prediction on this game CBLS 75 and Kayaker. TWO and that's it.The rest are fans from other schools. I don't understand how you thank that everyone at JC is saying the game will be a total blow out. The players and staff know that they'll be in a battle trust me. They know Friday night won't be a cake walk.

On the basketball game last year yes Lawrence did come back and beat Johnson Central at home after they lost by 21 at JC. Trust me I would trade a loss in Louisa every year if I got to play in the big show in Rupp.

All the sudden now that Johnson Central has been winning a few games everybody want to bring up our past results. This happens a lot to other teams as well. The past has nothing to do with this years team. Imo people who like to bring up the past are discouraged about the present. Last year or any year before that has nothing do do with the present. If the past matters the 49ers and Packers wouldn't suck so bad in the NFL or Louisville wouldn't be a top ten program that they are today because Lord knows Louisville never was a power house in football. Take Lawrence County for instance they totally dominated the area in the 90's but what has it done for this year's team? Nothing but memories, outstanding memories at that. The past is something that we can never forget but on the other hand we can't base the present on what was done in the past. You bring up Central's playoff woes but here's an interesting tidbit. Since the 99 season(2000-2005) both schools have the same amount of playoff wins. They both have one. Does this mean that both schools should give up on winning another playoff game before 2010 rolls around going by the past five years? Absolutely not! The past means NOTHING it's all about the present.

Good luck to both teams this Friday. It will be two teams playing there hearts out for two outstanding communities.

[dirty dawg]

I will never figure out why it tears people up that a kid transferred to another school. SO WHAT, Good luck and good bye!! Surely people don't actually believe that ONE player can make or break a team. TEAM-key word here!! Kid may have had talent but was pretty much uncoachable-had an attitude from what I've been told-didn't need to be taught anything-already knew it all. Is that good for a TEAM??? Not hardly. Why can't we just support what we have? These are the athletes that show up every day for practice and give their all every Friday night. No, I am not a fair weather friend to the Dawgs-they've got my support through it all. I'll enjoy sitting back in a few years when this program gets stronger again and everyone has to eat crow.

[Battle Tested]

central = stick
bulldogs = drum.

[WWJD]

Lawrence County has a good team this year, but Johnson Central has quiet Possibly the best team in thir history right now not to mention one of the best in the state in any Class. I say JC wins 56-12.

That was a pretty low talking about a 16 year old kid like that. The kid your referring to has busted his butt over the summer and everyday this season and is nothing like the person your describing him as. He is a leader both on and off the field. I'll tell you what if you guys have any more " talented but pretty much uncoachable kids that didn't need to be taught anything because he already knew it all" players just send them our way and we will take them. Show some class. You want to talk about one well tell me this why did the other leave for another Johnson County school and how many players from last years team are not playing this year? What's the problem? Was all of them " talented but pretty much uncoachable kids that didn't need to be taught anything because he already knew it all". Where there's smoke there's fire,if you ask me.

[dirty dawg]

Boy aren't you testy? Some of the kids that aren't playing this year aren't playing for their own personal reasons but they didn't transfer to another school. I certainly never said he wasn't a good kid-he, like alot of teenage boys, has a large attitude. Its hard to be a team player like that. Was all of them? I'm only aware of 2 and even if these 2 had stayed, LC still would have been young and rebuilding. I simply stated that I don't see why everyone thinks that 1 kid can make or break a "team".

No, what you actually said is that he was uncoachable and had a bad attitude, right? The coaches know exactly why he left and why one quit and why 2 or 3 won't play. Regardless of what you may think of him, he has quite a few friends on LC's team and also in the school. He played for the "DAWGS" since kindergarten his sister graduated from Lawrence County and loved it. Support for Lawrence County is and will always be there (even for you). You talk about young and rebuilding, Lawrence County was also young and rebuilding when the A Team won Turf Bowl and the 8th grade won OVC and also when the JV went undefeated(?) last year (all the same kids). JC has been great to him, the coaches are great people and so is the community. Quit trying to stir up trouble and no it is not about 1 person it is about TEAMWORK. By the way, evidently you must have talked to Coach G to know the things you are saying, right. I'm sure you can tell who I am and if you have anything further to say, I would be happy to give you my number or meet you anywhere you would like to. I mean come on get over it, this is almost to the point of being funny.

[dirty dawg]

Actually I have no clue who you are and you are correct, this whole thing is hilarious, but if it makes you feel better, the same funny stuff is going on at the other bg site as well. No, I'm not one of the folks "Coach G" talks to, just a fan who thought we could say what we wanted without getting chewed up and spit out-oh well, I'll consider it a lesson learned

[dirty dawg]

and BTW, after re-reading your post, yes I said that but I DID NOT say he wasn't a good kid. I know he has alot of friends at LC and should have-as you say-he grew up playing football there. Never was I trying to "stir up trouble"

[cougar14]

Forgot to say "THANKS" and good post and very true.

Then maybe you should leave him out of this and let both teams play without all of this trash that is considered "sports talk".

You can say what you want, that is your opinion and that is respected here at BGR. But at the same time, other's opinions may conflict with yours and they have a right to express their disagreement with your opinion.

[THUNDERCHILD]

I have to say, JC looks good in this one, LC I don't think has the horses up front to match up.

[KILROY]

I agree, however I wish there would be a suprising first half anyway.

[OK2NV]

and BTW, after re-reading your post, yes I said that but I DID NOT say he wasn't a good kid. I know he has alot of friends at LC and should have-as you say-he grew up playing football there. Never was I trying to "stir up trouble"

In my opinon you have no idea of the this kids character! If you have seen him play this season (which I would say you haven't) you would change your tune real quickly! You have no idea what you talking about obviously and it shows. I hope ole 44 goes out there and shows you that you have no idea what you are talking about.

As far as stiring up trouble, c'mon I don't believe anyone on this site is that big an idiot to believe you were not trying to make trouble. Because if not you wouldn't get personal and talk about a 16 yr. kid like you have.

After friday night I can promise you one thing, you will be missing out on this kid because he is an man on a mission to prove everything you say about him wrong.

[dirty dawg]

My apologies to all so offended-I have no stake in any of this/don't even have a kid playing/only going on what I've heard from others and shouldn't/

won't happen again and i apologize to the "kid"

[dirty dawg]

[OK2NV]

You need to be sorry. Because those are some sorry statements about a kid that I am sure you don't even know.

[dirty dawg]

yea, whatever, but I thought we weren't allowed to be threatening or violent on here? to call someone you don't know an idiot? your'e right, i won't be there to see it/ he could have been 27 for all i knew

[OK2NV]

I can't wait till friday night and I bet ole 44 and the rest of EAGLES can't either!

[dirty dawg]

Good luck to both teams!!

[cougar14]

You need to be sorry. Because those are some sorry statements about a kid that I am sure you don't even know.

Oh, he knows who he is, but he knows nothing about him. The sad thing is #44 and his family knows who he is too.

[Kayaker]

Ok....although I agree on your theories...I see that last year JC kept LC scoreless.....but this year you think JC's D is better than last and yet they give up the TD?????

What i was implying was that i believe JC will have this game over by the beginning of the 4th quarter so you are likely to see the JV in for the entire 4th quarter on defense which has happened many times this year. The Varsity D has only given up 21 points this year and has held team to low yardage, its when the JV comes in that teams tend to score on JC, so thats why i give LC 7.

[Kayaker]

Guys its really sad that no one even gives LC any credit and think that there just going to walk in here and line-up as if there wasnt a team across from them. Just about everyone from JC is saying that JC is going to name there score. Since when can a team name how many points there going to put up against anyone. Do you really think that you guys have played anyone to say that your that good. IMO the teams are no where near the types of teams we have played. Come friday night we will find out the so called how many points your going to score. It is one thing to predict a score but to say they will name how many points they want,, get real.

Oh by the way I know it isnt basketball season, but you guys did that during basketball season after we got beat up there and then you came into our HOUSE and went home with the loss.

So how many times have you guys beaten us over the last 10 years. once or twice.

Also it doesnt matter what team it is as long as there is a team from Eastern Ky playing for the title I will be pulling for them..... So good luck to both teams friday night.

1.) I thought that we were talking about football, i didnt know that last years basketball lose had anything to do with this years football game. Maybe you should pass that knowledge on to Coach Goldsmith, Im sure he would appreicate it.:rolleyes:

2.) The past 10 years records have no reflection on how this game will be played out. Last year JC got its first ever win against LC i believe and the 43-0 score was not dictated by years past. Like i said earlier, no one is scared of LC anymore. Past LC teams where known for hard nosed defense and a power running attack. That isnt this years team and you know that as well as i do. These games are played for a reason and anything could happen but the only way i see LC winning is if JC shows up thinking that they have already won then they may be in trouble.

[CatDawg]

Lawrence County has a good team this year, but Johnson Central has quiet Possibly the best team in thir history right now not to mention one of the best in the state in any Class. I say JC wins 56-12.

I've seen JC play this year and I believe they are the best in are district not sure about the region. But to state that their one of the best in the state in any class that is the funniest thing I've read on any site in a long time.

Not trying to be a Jerk but have you ever heard of some of the teams down state especially those in Louisville?

On Saturday I watched Highlands play St. X on a national TV broadcast live and I have to say I think both of them might be just a bit better than JC. Heck I would say if this was a St. X or Highlands vs JC thread you would probably be seeing the same predictions that your seeing in this thread but only with JC on the zero side of the prediction. Since I think JC will represent the district I would love to see them win state. I hate to say it but they're still not good enough to do it this year but this is their chance if they plan on winning state anytime within the next few years unless they end up moving back down in class.

Friday night I hope you lose the rest of the season Good Luck.

Like I said I think JC will win the district but I'm not 100% positive on that because with the new playoff system they'll most likely have to beat Ashland twice just to get to the regional championship and if Ashland is improving as much as it appears and they continue to do so I will probably end up predicting the Tomcats to take the spot in the playoffs to represent the district but that's far away.

[Old school Dawg]

Dirty Dawg,s apologised and people just dont do that much.We all say things we shouldnt,but sometimes we put it in print.Now I watched Nanthaniel grow up and he is one tough kid and will play college somewhere.I wish we still had him.Who will be blocking Nananthiel is something I would be concerned with.I know football is a team sport so save any speech on that topic, but I wanna see Nanthan Carter and dials go head to head.Now thats football.

Thank you for posting this!!!

[eaglehoops]

I sure hope none of my JC buddies are overlooking LC. This is the typical time for a team on JC caliber to lose because they are overlooking LC. I however am not. LC is a dangerous team and I think many of you are forgetting they are at home and they WANT TO WIN THIS GAME BAD!!! I think the eagles will be ready because Matney won't let them overlook anyone. I'm just glad noone one here is their coach because if they were LC shouldn't even line up and play. Good luck to both team Friday and the rest of the season. Hope the game is injury free.:rockon:

Like I've already said once in this thread. JC's players and staff knows how big of a game this is and there is no way on this earth that they are overlooking anybody.

[eaglehoops]

I think the game will be a blowout but you never know.

[Old school Dawg]

Kyle Carter not Nathan sorry

[Batpuff]

Just a day away, Should be a great game, So rain, shine, snow whatever the weather may be come out and support both of the great programs and kids. It will be one of those games that if you blink your going to miss some hard hitting mind blowing action.

[Once King Now Prince]

Total blowout in this one. And hope Catdawg, we will see JC play Highlands later on. :thumpsup:

[Batpuff]

Well they just better worry about getting threw the distric first, because there are several other team not counting LC who wants a chance to play late in the Playoffs, But if Highlands was to play JC now that would be a total Blow-out.

[RB#2]

Johnson Central

[RB#2]

Whats thier record so far

[Golden Eagle]

Total blowout in this one. And hope Catdawg, we will see JC play Highlands later on. :thumpsup:
One of the most ridiculous posts I have ever seen on this site! We are in week five of the season and it's crazy to even bring up Highlands at this point.

[hillbilly]

Central - 42

Dawgs - 6

[Captain America_2007]

Johnson Central by as many as they want.

[Kayaker]

Total blowout in this one. And hope Catdawg, we will see JC play Highlands later on. :thumpsup:

Dont you think that is a little, no waaaaayyyyy, to premature. JC has a tough district that consists of Ashland and Mason to get through, then in the playoffs could face tough opponents such as Rockcastle and Bell Co. JC is a solid football team but this is ridiculous to say that they are going to play Highlands at this point. And as far as Highlands, both Covington Catholic and Lexington Catholic will have something to say about them as well.

[Old school Dawg]

Kayaker if matney hears his players talking about playing highlands or anyone else that there not playing in their NEXT game he would be on them like stink on poopie.One game at a time.

[thunderstruck]

Eagles by a lot. This may really be their season to charge for a regional and state title with how Rockcastle seems to be playing this season.



I agree its not gonna be pretty.

[CatDawg]

Total blowout in this one. And hope Catdawg, we will see JC play Highlands later on. :thumpsup:

If JC gets there I'll be pulling for them.

Chill on this one, he's just replying to post 101 by me I don't think they're looking ahead at any matchup.
