Congrats to Powell. I had no clue they were this good. On film I KNEW Skidmore was a real player. I wondered if his line could help him out, and I wondered if his skill players could get out and make blocks for him against our (normally VERY solid defense). Well, the answer was a resounding yes, they blocked great. We could not set the edge all night. Then when we maybe stopped the run (which never really happened), but when we held 2 downs/2runs to maybe a 3rd and 5, Powell would run a very nice pass play. In my opinion this was one of the better called games by a team we've faced all year, by Powell's coaches. I think I said if Casey played really well, we'd win by 21+...I said if we played average, a 2 TD win, and if we played bad there was a chance it would be a close game. I WILL NOT discredit Powell's effort after maybe leading you up to think this. We did not play our best game on defense, but I won't say it was simply cause of our kids, it was a whole lot of Powell kid's determination, and Powell coaching. We played as well on offense as we had in any game all year. I cannot say we played a bad offensive game. I don't know if Powell folks will agree, but IMO they played an absolute great game on offense. The onsides kicks killed us. Powell got 3 extra possessions from onside recoveries (Casey did get one onsides themselves)...

As for a coach getting thrown out, that didn't happen. One of our fans stepped onto the field towards a ref, apparently saying some things he shouldn't have. Just a fan thing there.

My congrats to POwell, as well as Corbin. I really wanted another shot at Corbin. Our kids had been gearing up for that and talked about it every day. But that is why you can never get too cocky, never think another team has no hope. Then it comes up to bite you right in the butt....Anyway, hope it's another good game next week, and injury free. Corbin, I feel, is a great team and have a chance to prove it. But Powell county is no joke of a team at all.

Casey finished a 2 year stretch of 10 win seasons (our best ever before was an 8 win season). This is our most winning group of seniors in our history. Our junior class will eclipse that total next year, and we are hoping to increase our numbers to around 55 to 60 kids by 2018.
