[The Blue Blur]

I have to disagree with the statement about the second game. Paintsville still had a couple players out and that was only Cantrells second game back after missin like 7 weeks and he wasn't even suppose to be playin.

No he's right, I'm not saying Paintsville was 100% and full force but what team is at that time in the season. Hazard did play every second of that game which resulted in a win. He's wrong in saying that Paintsville put in a good fight, as the Tigers had that game won. It was there's for the taking, but something fell apart. The wheels fell off, Paintsville turned the ball over deep in Bulldog territory getting ready to score. Olinger ran over and broke numerous tackles on his way to a long touchdown run. Paintsville's D couldn't get motivated or focused enough to stop the pass. One bad call, and one uncalled for penalty when the Bulldogs were driving at the end of regulation. As I stood behind the sidelines, the players and the coaches looked like deer in headlights and were helpless or at least it looked that way. Paintsville lost that game, Hazard didn't win it, the Tigers blew it bottom line. Game over, end of season, and he's right after blowing a 21 point lead within the final few minutes of the game you're going to have to work hard win your district and make it to the regional finals to prove worthy enough to redeem that loss. Bottomline is the Bulldogs wanted it more than Paintsville did, and that includes players, coaches, and ball boys.
