Corbin in a running clock.

Casey Co has done a great job with scheduling and building a program but is nowhere near ready for the top 4 teams in 3A.

Anything is possible I guess...and you are somewhat informed however you may have missed the past 2 years of play between Casey and Corbin, which have been competitive despite what might be posted here. The regular season meeting a year and a half ago would have been 7-0 Corbin, or 0-0 had not an illegal deception play been called. And then 1 legit score against our starters in the 2nd half, with another score or 2 in the last 2 minutes with our QB basically just making desperation throws that turned to pick 6's. But that's part of the game. Corbin fans say they just didn't play well and weren't "up for the game". So in the playoffs I was told, on here, running clock by the half. At the half on a last second Casey field goal, Casey was down to Corbin 20-17...In the 4th Corbin's numbers and just flatout non mistake making decisions by Sizemore and Casey desperately trying to get within striking distance, Corbin goes up by 2 scores late in the 4th, Casey is wore out and cramping (=done). Last year regular season game, Corbin is better, Sizemore a year older, Estep a year older, Corbin aren't saying running clock last year because they may THINK that, but aren't wanting to jinx it. Casey goes into the 4th quarter, AT Corbin, tied up 14-14 with around 9 minutes to go. Both our starting corners get injured and Corbin goes up late but the Hounds have got the lead and never relinquish after controlling field position the entire 2nd half. Casey's corner who is also leading receiver can't get any type of separation in the 4th with the hobbled leg, game over. Running clock though??? 14-14 in the 4th quarter until the injuries and Corbin's ability to wear smaller teams down. This year, running clock? No idea. Corbin is at our house. Corbin is better, for sure. Estep is a year older, and even more explosive than before and a dual threat, big time. Casey doesn't know if they are better or not. Scheduling? We schedule well enough to get some tests. Campbellsville finished top 4 last year in their class and is a much better team last year. That was a test. Russell county was much improved, and Casey had never beaten them before until this last 3 or 4 year run. That's improvement. That's work by a lot of folks. Some don't know the difference in a top 5 team in class, and a top 10 team. I'm not a sucker, I know for sure what a top 5 team looks like compared to a top 10. Casey is a top 10, Corbin is a top 5, probably a top 3 this year (if not top 2). Hell Bell county may put a running clock on us. Boyle done the same thing years ago to get where they have been at the past 3 decades. I remember.
