First of all, I have to say that I was completely wrong about Southwestern's offensive capabilities. Powell, Wilson, Williams, and Turpin are players, no question. I did not think that Southwestern had that kind of fire power offensively, but credit to them because they do.

However, the thing that impressed me the most about Southwestern was their defensive line. They were unbelievable in the first half especially and never let up. I had previously predicted that they may be able to stop the run early but Harlan County would wear them down in the second half. That simply did not happen and another huge credit to Southwestern.

Harlan Co. showed the great resilience, heart, and determination that you would expect from a Tom Larkey coached team and every time they were down, they kept coming back. Unbelievable second half performance by the Black Bears. I really commend the twelve seniors for what they have meant to this football program and the community. Really proud of you guys!

I was extremely frustrated with the two point conversion that would have put Harlan Co. up 8-0 instead of 6-0 and I was also very upset that when Harlan Co. scored to make it 21-20 Southwestern and the Warriors were called for offisides that they kept the ball at the 3 yard line. I couldn't understand that at all and it forced Harlan Co. to use another timeout and get their kicker back on the field.

However, no excuses. I said I was worried about Southwestern for a long time and rightfully so. Leecoukfan, I apologize because you were right about Southwestern's offensive weapons. They have PLENTY!!!!

Good Luck SW from a true Harlan Co. fan. I hope you guys represent the Region well in Bowling Green!

And to Andy Stephens, PHENOMENAL job!!!! I can't give you enough credit for how you've changed the culture of that program. Serious props!!!
