Letcher County Central 07

[MVP2]

How Will The Cougars Do in 07.....Who Do They Return and Who Did They Lose?....Whats Their Schedule??

[A Decent Lineman]

They should be pretty good, I dont know their whole schedule between we have them away first game of the season. They return a lot of good players and one really good halfback, Brock(dunno his last name) but Ive heard he is really strong and should do his damage. LCC will be alright this season, theyve been on a steady uphill climb since the school started, 1st season was like 3-7, last year was like 6-4 right??? So I look for them to be pretty good in 07'.......good luck-looking forward to opening kickoff.

[LCC_Cougar]

Letcher Central loses some good offensive line players along with some "headhunter" linebackers! Some of the defensive secondary, nothing really lost on offense this year though! They should be alright next year! Dakota Brock is a young quarterback/ halfback with Much potential. He is very strong! Charlie Banks is a very good quarterback!

[warriorpride]

They'll be good next season.

[A Decent Lineman]

I was talkin to Brock and he said he benched sumthin like 365...lmao....he must have a killer stiffarm!!! What does the line look like for 07'???

[TRAIN85]

I'm sure the Howards will have the cougars ready for '07.

[PLAYBOY5]

I think LCC is 2 years away from being a very good football team. From talking to some of the coaches, LCC will have a hard time next season. Alot of there talent is in the freshman and sophomore class. But it is always untelling how good teams will be. I know they are working HARD in the weightroom! Best of Luck Cougars!

[PLAYBOY5]

LCC was 4-6 last season I believe!

[Borderlord]

[QUOTE=LCC_CougarDakota Brock is a young quarterback/ halfback with Much potential. He is very strong! Charlie Banks is a very good quarterback![/QUOTE]

Brock will be a senior, not very young at all.

They were 4-6, same as the first year. I am not so sure the program IS growing. I have also heard complaints of coaching inexperience, and that some coaches may not be coming back. As politically based as it is here, I think it will be a hard job to get this program where it wants to be.

[ViccoLion]

I hear from several friends that live in Letcher Co. that associate head coach VanHoose has been fired. Also that the 07 schedule is weak except for Hazard and Clay County. They are by far in the weakest 5-A district in the KHSAA, and should have a winning season, and all that is by design. They can't have Hillard Howard going out with 3 straight losing seasons and turn things over to his son Ben Howard in 08.I also don't expect Charlie Banks to play football in 07, because of his basketball injury this year.

[HazzBeen]

Well you don't know much about LCC. The fact is Charlie isn't even going to try to play basketball anymore this year so he can fully recover for football. Yes Coach Vanhoose will not be hired back. I think Whitley County can count as a hard game, Leslie County, and North Laurel.

2006
Leslie 6-6 & they lost their best this year
Whitley 2-8
North Laurel 3-7

Not exactly powerhouses as I see it. Aren't they also playing 1A Hazard as well as East ridge coming off a 2-8 season I believe.

In fact he is on 16 years old! That is what I was referring to!!!

Dakota rushed for 499 yards and had 11 rushing TD's he also had 1736 yards passing for 15 TD's with 13 interceptions, 226 attempts and 120 completions.

You cant tell me that its coaching inexperience, that is just ridiculous!!!!
How could you say that Coach Howard is inexpeienced???
You have to give them some time to get settled in.

I agree I don't know alot about LCC, but I know Banks won't be back to basketball this year, but I would bet Raymond Justice doesn't want him to play football and I'd say his Dad doesn't want him too either. This I do know for sure

Hazard... will be pretty good again
Leslie... 6-6, but lost alot
Whitley... 2-8
North Laurel...3-7
Perry Cent...1-9
Bourbon Co.... 0-10
Clay Co... will be good again
East Ridge....2-8
Also on the KHSAA website has LCC beating Haysi, VA when it was actually Haysi winning over LCC so their record should be 4-6 not 5-5. I do know however Hillard Howard is one of the best HS football coaches KY has ever had and a great guy as well I'd love to see him do well @ Letcher Central. I was just saying earlier their schedule is better for them than the last 2 years without Bell, Rock, Mad. Southern on it. Not picking on LCC at all, I'm an Mountain boy and would love to see them do well.

It doesn't matter if he is 12 years old. a senior is a senior.

Brock is a great athelete though, and I believe will be tough to handle as a running back next year. I doubt he will be seeing any time at QB.

I wasn't referring to Coach (Hillard) Howard. He has been very successfull. He also had great assistants at Pikeville. He may have a good bunch of guys working with him now, but several are far from what I would call experienced as far as "coaching" football is concerned.

Like Viccolion, I am not trying to trash talk LCC. I think their success will be determined by the way politics and nepotism play out.

[DevilsWin]

How much did it cost to get the Jumbotron at LCC. How many cameras do they have? Who runs the cameras and who decides what angles and stuff? I've seen the scoreboard on WYMT's Sports Overtime.

You sure do seem to know alot HazzBeen. I think everyone on BG Rivals should check with you before they ever post anything on here. I think I'll start calling you Karnak.

[LCC_Cougar]

How much did it cost to get the Jumbotron at LCC. How many cameras do they have? Who runs the cameras and who decides what angles and stuff? I've seen the scoreboard on WYMT's Sports Overtime.

The Jumbotron costed somewhere around $150,000 (it was paid for by Pine Mountain Hardwoord Lumber Co.) As for the camera, we have 4 Canon GL-2 cameras. The angles are (On top the press box = 1 camera on the far left of, and one camera on the far right, On the field, there is 1 camera which follows the ball up and down the field, connect by a snake to the computers inside the press box. The software used is Lumaware by LED Solution). The press box is rigged with technology ports which link audio/ video to the computers.

*I know this because I was a camera man for the instant replay system.

Very impressive, I wonder if Big Sandy Superstores would like to make this happen at Russell.

hello. everyone -= i anm wondering who lcc cougar is -=please reply back

i'm am going to reply back to several of your comments
i played football for the cougars in 2005 -= thier first yr. of establishment-= and we done good-= for a first yr. team.i think the cougars will become eventually a 7-3 team-=it just takes some time to build a team.
also coach vanhoose was not fired-=he retired -=not fired- and i like him as a coach-= and it was a mistake made by the cougars but hey, we all learn form our mistakes. and the rumor about coach howard leaving the school after 3 seasons may be true-= but it is not official -=and also
aout the jumbotron-= i sat out these yr, of football and explored new opitions which included the working with the tron-= our stlp coordinators sit that up-= and picks the angle =and i did at one time do the sideline-= it was fun- =but then i moved up into the press box-= so. i wish the cougars good luck in thier 2007 season- =and we're state-bound.

He was released due to "budget problems" which is bs. Paco, you don't have a clue about it. If he retired, then what is the "mistake" that was made? You do have a great point about Big H turning it over to little h though. I agree 100%

[HazzBeen]

You sure do seem to know alot HazzBeen. I think everyone on BG Rivals should check with you before they ever post anything on here. I think I'll start calling you Karnak.

If you need my number let me know...the truth is I am very close to the LCC team and I know more than you since you are from Russell. I would not argue with you on Russell's football team because I do not know anything about them. You, devilswin, have no clue about LCC football so if you lets just leave it that way.

LOL Ok then Hazzbeen.

What schools merged to form LCC?

[Benchwarmer]

Letcher High, Whitesburg, and Fleming Neon merged to make Letcher Central.

Letcher High, Whitesburg, and Fleming Neon merged to make Letcher Central.

Thanks.

[player_5622]

I was talkin to Brock and he said he benched sumthin like 365...lmao....he must have a killer stiffarm!!! What does the line look like for 07'???i talked to him just the other day and its sumthin more like 320, but still lol

[A Decent Lineman]

I think as Paco07 said, with the exception of us and Clay LCC's schedule is pretty weak. That being said I think that LCC will go 5-5 at WORST...and at best 6-4. Theyre steadily improving, so give them another season or two to mature then I see big things from the Cougars. Good luck next season...ur gonna need it...haha...j/k

[Paco07]

well. i'm back and i have to reply
that i should know what i'm talking about
at one time i did play football
and i think coach vanhoose was a very good coach-=
but i wish the cougars all the luck -= and we're state bound

cougarama.

[kcorb]

i talked to him just the other day and its sumthin more like 320, but still lol
Actually,it is 305.

Hmmm....I went to all the home games last year and I really enjoyed watching Brock as QB.I think he did a great job.I'am certainly gonna miss seeing him in the position.

[I Rule The World]

Lelsie doesn't lose as much as you think. They lose more on the lines of leadership than anything. There were very capable players playing behind the Big 3 over there. Leslie was also in every game last year. The only game where they didn't show up was the North Laurel game. If the Middlesboro game wasn't taken from them, I believe they would have given Belfry all they wanted at Belfry. Just don't sleep on them, that's all.

[A Decent Lineman]

What does LCC's o and d line look like for nxt season??

[Paco07]

our o and d line looks awesome -= man. they're good
led by
corey begley
matt chandler
chase knight
and josh mcfall.

[Paco07]

our kicking team is very good to.
led by colton cook.

[midback8]

i believe that lcc will go 3-7 this season jus because of the fact they are moving to 5A...

[Paco07]

i disagree 7-3 or nothing= because we have improved we are strong, faster, and better.

[Paco07]

correction , stronger, faster, and better han last season.

[LCC_Cougar]

I spoke with Charlie Banks and those rumors going around that he isn't playing football in the 07-08 season are WRONG!

Charlie said he was playing football next year as of right now!

[player_5622]

What does LCC's o and d line look like for nxt season??They are very strong i kno that... Chase Knight is a soph. and deadlitin right at 500, squat almost the same and startin to get more then a few reps with 225... i kno em pretty good but if im wrong correct me, u kno how braggin goes haha

[player_5622]

i believe that lcc will go 3-7 this season jus because of the fact they are moving to 5A...umm id say better then that but i belive that they have about the weakest schedule in the whole KHSAA. Has like 2 good solid teams and one of em is just a 1A school, but very good

[A Decent Lineman]

our o and d line looks awesome -= man. they're good
led by

[Paco07]

Oh ok....thnx man...

[Paco07]

no problem; i'm not sure on height or weight or anything like that-= though.

[Windsprint]

Charlie Banks WILL be playing football ( with his father's blessing). He has his cast off and is doing rehab. Coming along VERY well. The doctor has told him the small break is completely healed He is attending at least 2 q/back camps this summer. He has really increased his upper body strenght and he has now grown to a legitamate 6'3". He could have played basketball in the district but he and his family decided that he should rehab completely and not push it. He will be ready for spring practice. As far as his dad not wanting him to play---you don't know what you're talking about. His dad has only high hopes for Charlie in football and in basketball.He is a special kid --he never has a negative word to say about anything. I wish the best for him.

[Droopy_Cougar]

Ok first of all I have high expectations for the cougars next year. These boys have been working hard all offseason with about 40 some kids in the weight room everyday after school. I know this cause im there with them everyday and they are on a great program and working hard and should see alot of inprovement from last year. As far as a record I think its possable for them to go 10-0 not saying they are going to just saying its possable. I dont expect anything less than 8-2 because of their schedule. I'm a former player who knows what these guys are capable of, so I'm pretty sure this is an accurate guess.

[Paco07]

good luck cougars.

[Paco07]

i would like to adda comment that was made a while ago.
i would like
to say on lcc's defense line, they will be several key players
including

"The Big Red Love Machine"- Josh Short
:girlwink:
David "Rooster" Adams
Zach "domination" Hogg

all three of these guys are going to be srs. next yr. and i wish them all the best of luck.
:football:

[Hafner_Fan]

I dont know any of the O or D line personally but "big" is out of the question. Thats gonna be the biggest problem for Letcher Co. this season. With the lack of size and experience at OL their offensive is going to studder horribly. In my opinion, they should leave a more mobile Brock at the QB position to try and establish some sort of offensive flow. With Banks in the backfield they don't have a shot. He will be sacked 35+ times this season.

[Windsprint]

That is a really intelligent response Hafner-fan. a two guard on the basketball team not being mobile enough to play q/b on the football team. Your ignorance is second only to your stupidity. I have watched a couple of LCC's practices and the combination of Brock as a running back/reciever and Banks at the q/b is a lethal one. As far as " NO size" on the off.line------you must be seeing a different team than I. The kid called "Rooster" must be about 6'2" and 270. Couch is about 6'0" 310. You are in for a rude awakening my friend---just wait and see.

[Hafner_Fan]

Does rude awakening still add up to 3-7! Oh wait, maybe 4-6 this time around again. The comment on the QB situation has a simple history. Banks doesn't look to scramble......hardly ever. yeah they kid has good speed but he doesn't choose to use it. Banks is more suited to sit back and pick people off down field than try to break the pocket.

In my opinion, Brock is the best choice but that's just me.

It's still going to take at least 2-3 more seasons before this team can get it's feet underneatht them.

[Windsprint]

Either one can get the job done. To me --it simply gives them another dimension-----Brock if the opposing team is vulnerable to the run------------Banks if the opposing team is vulnerable to the pass. Both kids on the field at the same time will make any team show respect. The halfback option pass comes into play. Ponder this----Banks pitches to Brock going off the left side and Brock draws the defense to him---then stops and throws downfield to Banks who is wide open------Might work and will definitely be exciting

[Hafner_Fan]

you got a point there. I think they need to look at the Fisher kid as a possible tailback too. The kid is strong as any other member on the team for his size.

[dfblackcat53]

if their football team is as committed as thier wrestling team then they should fare pretty good

[Paco07]

i think the cougars will do very good
these season
i wish them the best of luck in the
2007
season

Go Cougars.

[RIP_28]

look for mabey a 5-5 season

[Benchwarmer]

look for mabey a 5-5 season

5-5 season maybe. Weak schedual maybe 6-4

[Paco07]

they will do awesome
these yr.
they have rly, worked in the off season in the weight-room and i wish them the best of luck.

[A Decent Lineman]

Good luck to them, they have talent....but i cant see them doing much better than 6-4.

[Paco07]

i think the cougars will go 7-3 or better
good luck cougars

[champion24]

the cougars will be next year

[37cougar]

Well as playing for the LCC Cougars myself i do know that we are working very hard in the weight room. Our senior leaders have finally stepped up an taking the reigns. Brock, Fisher and a few others have finally got everyone dedicated to the team. As of next year i belive we will go 7-3. Im not sure bout all our oppents me being a freshman. But i do know that we have a hard game out of the gates. But i look forward to starting defense an giving it everything. As for our offense im not really include seeing as how we have 6 or more senior backs that are talented. As for the line they are looking really well alot stronger and alot smarter.
#5

[dfblackcat53]

I was talkin to Brock and he said he benched sumthin like 365...lmao....he must have a killer stiffarm!!! What does the line look like for 07'???


365??

[37cougar]

365..No Maybe 315 on a good day.

[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

Best of luck to the Cougars and to Coach Howard, both of them lol

[MVP2]

Will Banks be under center next year?

[LCC_Cougar]

Yes!

[cig107]

Does anyone know there schedule?? I know they play East Ridge and will probably beat the **** out of us but who else do they play? I'm not to familiar with there district. And are they in 5a?

[37cougar]

Yea im pretty sure we are 5a. But schedules havent been relased but i know a few teams we play.
Hazard
Bourbon
Greenup
East Ridge
Whitley
Clay
Perry Central

[Paco07]

the schedule looks pretty good to me
good luck
cougars
i think they will go 8-2.

[finepoint]

the schedule looks pretty good to me
good luck
cougars
i think they will go 8-2.

how many predictions are you gonna make????

[TidesHoss32]

so is everybody else,..LCC will be 5-5, somewhere around there..Ben Howard will have the offense scoring 50 points a game, but theyll give up 65, lol..i disagree 7-3 or nothing= because we have improved we are strong, faster, and better.

[The Private]

I live in Letcher and I know that many people are not happy with the football as well as basketball.I hope they have agood season and get the program headed ih the right direction.I also hope that Coach Justice has a great season with many wins! Go Cougars!!!!!!!!!!!

[gold_glove]

LCC will do good next year but in 08 and 09 they will be great. next year most of the good players are juniors and sophomores but they will still help.

[bigpun]

Best of luck to Ben, Hillard, and the rest of LCCHS.

[A Decent Lineman]

I know its early but do you all have ne predictions as of now....for LCC vs. Hazard?

[bigpun]

I know its early but do you all have ne predictions as of now....for LCC vs. Hazard?
IMO Hazard is probably a little further along with the football talent they have right now, but the Howards will have the cougars ready to play and ready to win. Better stay on your toes Bulldogs.

[LCC_Cougar]

IMO Hazard is probably a little further along with the football talent they have right now, but the Howards will have the cougars ready to play and ready to win. Better stay on your toes Bulldogs.


As far as the Hazard game, I think it will be one heck of a game! :yikes: Both teams have really been working hard in the weight room and on the field. I expect to see some good ole' ball playing.



As far as the record prediction for LCC in 07-08, I'm going to go with my gut instinct and say 6-4.

Go Cougars..... Make us proud!

[easternkysportsguru]

Letcher County is also the last game of the season for Lawrence County at Letcher County this fall.

[Scoutin']

The line has worked very hard during the off season, they have several SR's Adams, Chandler, Begley, and several JR's Kincer, Adams, and Knight who I look to have a great season.
