Surprising to say the least!!! I feel bad for casey. That group of kids has helped bring that program up, only to have it end in a heartbreaker like that. Glad your kid is ok though. There was some tough shots tonight at our game that was getting me worried, plus it got a little chippy at the end.

Powell played great, and since I don't think many Powell folks will be in this thread...Our safety has a torn back muscle #5, and our most powerful lineman was only able to play 1 side of the ball tonight. We didn't play him on the D line. Our #5 is the kid that is the heart and soul of our seniors and the one kid we simply can't go replace next season. Not many folks define football as much as that dude does. I wouldn't make these excuses in a Powell/Casey thread, but will tell the facts here. Powell got one illegal onside kicks that the refs let go, and then they recovered another onside kick that their own player touched at the 6 or 7 yard mark, and it pushed the ball another 3 or 4 yards then they dived on it. Another extra possession Powell shouldn't have had. We then had Powell kick it out of bounds, and for some reason we elected to have them rekick...Guess what, Powell onsides and recovers! lol. At this point it was comical, we looked like a 2nd or 3rd grade team running into a team that onsides it all the time, and we just couldn't recover. Again, 1 was 100% illegal and the exact definition of the "pop up kick" rule. Then another was touched before 10 yards. Onto us, we also took too much time on our last offensive series. I know coaches didn't want to leave time, but it bit us there at the end. No one really to blame for this, our defense was hammered by an absolutely determined Powell county team. I thought the Powell coaches called as good a game as anyone we've ever played, tonight, on offense. Defensively Powell couldn't stop us at all, just like we couldn't stop them. I'm actually thinking, we stopped Powell one time in the first half, and they stopped us once. In the second half we stopped them either once or twice, and they didn't stop us at all, until the time ran out and we were basically 6 inches from the goal line, time ran out. Wild game, hate it for the seniors, but something for our juniors and young guys to learn from, I hope. Powell can damn sure play on offense, but Corbin will absolutely slice their defense apart.
