Mike Fields notebook: Change of fortune for Johnson Central football
#1
Johnson Central knocked off previously unbeaten Ashland Blazer 29-28 last week for its third win in a row. The Golden Eagles deserve some good fortune after going through perhaps the roughest start in the state. Losing their first four games was only part of the story.

Coach Jim Matney's mother died two weeks before the season. The next week Matney's aunt died, and while he was at her funeral he learned that a woman who baby-sat him when he was a kid had also passed away. The week of Johnson Central's opener, defensive coordinator Glen Reeves' mother died. In the opener against Boyle County, Johnson Central running back Nathan Dillon, who rushed for 1,000 yards last year, suffered a broken hand that sidelined him for a few weeks. "It felt like the world was coming to an end," Matney said. "I tried to hang in there. I knew that if you keep the faith, sometimes things work out."
