IMO JCHS lost to a better team! Coach Matney done a great job with this group of kids. The fans from Nothern Kentucky can say what they want too but the fact of the matter is JC just doesn't have the SPEED needed to win a state title! The CC DB's were caught off guard a few times by #1 for JC but they were way faster and could catch him with ease. #12 for JC may be the hardest nosed player I ever saw play at JC but his 40 yd dash time couldn't break 4.8 running down hill with the wind behind him. IMO anyone one from JC knocking coach Matney should be ran out of Johnson County. His system and coaching won JC a district title and he done it by beating a Ashland team that had more talent and speed. The only thing critical I have to say about coach Matney is that his "Belly Read" system has shot its wad vs the teams from up North and even vs Ashland and Belfry. Ashland, Belfry and CC were shifting there defensive line while the JC QB was calling his signals and this seems to confuse the JC Offensive line and the "Belly Read" is not nearly as effective. I think it was Bell CO that exposed this weakness a few years ago. IMO if coach Matney would mix in the old "dive option" were the QB can give it to FB or run it himself or pitch it, this would force the defense to cover the whole field, not just the Belly read gaps. I bet there was 10 times last night that the second give on the belly was not there but the outside was covered by only one man. The Old dive option mixed with the Belly Option would have racked the yards last night.

Bottom line!! Let all the other sports begin!! GET YOU FOOTBALL PLAYERS IN THE WEIGHT ROOM!!! Matney coaches wrestling, so get one of those 12 asst. in the weight room and get stronger and faster BOTTOM LINE!!!
