Hazard's DEFENSE is good....Hazard's OFFENSE is good. All the young men are playing with heart and they believe they can do it. Winning combination..

Hazard's D backs will have to stick to those Williamsburg WR's like glue cause they can catch and the QB will only take one step back and let it fly. He throws a nice tight spiral a long way. With the way Hazard plays the D line you should be ok as far as the run. Williamsburg will be the smallest team,player wise,you've seen all year. When you see them you will say "how'd Harlan lose by 32 to these little guy's". At least 7 of the starter's are about 160lbs soaking wet,but,they play with big hearts. You will be impressed with the way they play for their size and they are well coached too. My prediction Hazard 48-14. If you stick those WR's. If not,then Hazard 48-35. Dalton Sizemore is the real deal and you need to pressure him as much as possible. Hazard should have no problem with that though.

The two Tenn teams that beat Williamsburg, Onieda and Oliver Springs have both advanced to the final 8 in the Tenn 2A playoffs and must play each other so one of them will be playing in the state semi-finals. I don't believe in moral victorys but evidentally those 2 teams are pretty good.

After Williamsburg lost to Onieda,Onieda lost to Oliver Springs for the #1 seed in their district,so I knew then that Williamsburg would have their hands full with Oliver Springs. All three of the games Williamsburg lost were by about the same score. I think if Harlan get's healthy and back to playing team ball over the spring then it will be a great game to watch next season. They may meet up twice again next year. Good luck to the Jackets this week.

Sometimes you can want something really bad and still not get it. The Bulldogs will bring a style of physical play like the Jackets haven't seen this year and remember,Williamsburg has 7 freshmen starting that haven't had this level of physical play before. They might experience "culture shock".LOL

I just love how everyone on here keeps saying that williamsburg hasnt played a team as physical as hazard. Were any of you at the oneida and oliver springs games? They are both very physical 2a teams that i am sure hold their own against the likes of mighty hazard. Lets just hope their is enough balls to go around in the game to satisfy all the bulldog egos or they could start to show the attitude they are as famous for as they are being physical. I dont think its the physical aspect that williamsburg hasnt seen this season that hazard will show as much as it is the speed they possess.
Back to the two teams from tennessee that williamsburg played earlier. Everyone on this board thinks if they have not played a classic team tean from the mountains in ky then you have played a soft schedule. Tennessee football is in a league higher than that of ky with the exception of a couple of the elite teams in the north, louisville area, and 1or 2 from the mountains. I think overall the teams are more competitive because the quality of atheletes. Just look at the amount of prospects from ky and tn and compare them. I hate saying this but it is true. Think thats why uk struggles in sec most of the time because The number of instate recruits just is lower and they have to get 2 & 3 tier players from other states over those from our state. This doesnt mean we dont play good competitive football here because we do and kids in the mountains play with tons of passion.
Off my soap box now. Since everyone else is giving opinions on the game i will give mine not gonna pick a winner but give whay i think both teams nee to do to win. For williamsburg, run the football to stretch the field and value the ball. On defense make hazars beat you throwing the ball , do not let both outstanding backs blanton and jones beat you. Pressure whitaker and make him beat you down the field. Their run opens up the passing game. For hazard run run and run it some more. Williamsburg is quick and more physical than most think but the run could wear them down later in the game. In defense they gotta try to confuse sizemore with coverage and contain griffith and shelton on the outside. I think it is important for both teams to score early and put preasure on the other. One other factor is hazard has the pressure in this matchup as the favorite williamsburg is young and has nothing to lose. Gonna be a great game.

The bulldogs egos? So if you were to get a bit hit you wouldnt be pumped about it? Comeon now, phsyicality sets tempos for the game and are sometimes momentum changers. and have the speed to go with the big hits makes Hazard so deadly. Those young kids on the williamsburg squad will not know what hit them.
11-16-2011, 10:19 AM
One good thing for Williamsburg is that it may rain all week and the field be soaked and slippery. But im not sure of Williamsburgs field condition. Hazard hasnt really let a wet field stop them yet as they lost by 1 to breathitt and beat p-burg on a wet field.I also must agree I here the Sizemore kid is good but never seen him play but also the numbers u put up the combines in the summer are impressive and kids who do that are not bad.
11-16-2011, 11:16 AM
This is a odd match-up Hazard has speed, size,experience and depth vs a very young, undersized team with some speed and little depth. This Hazard team was state runner-up last year and has most of the team back, while the most of Williamsburg team from last year 14 graduated and now start about 6 or 7 freshmen. On paper this shouldn't be a problem for Hazard but the game must be played on the field and not on paper. Williamsburg is a huge underdog in this game and will benefit wheather they win or lose by playing one of the best teams in the state and being so young. Heart is hard to measure and Williamsburg has a lot of that as one poster stated how small they are and he is correct I watched them earlier in the year and couldn't believe thier size or lack of it. GOOD LUCK TO BOTH TEAMS but i've got to pull for the underdog.

Okay Jughead, just a few comments in response to yours.
First of all your comment about egos and enough balls to go around is crazy. I challenge you to find a single instance on any film of any Hazard game over the past couple years of any player showing or acting frustrated over not getting the ball. Look at Hazard's stats, they are probably the most balanced team in the state offensively. Running, passing, freshman, or senior, and who gets the ball, totally balanced. Now obviously all outstanding athletes want to get the ball every time it is snapped and Hazard has several outstanding, very competitive athletes. Hazard is one of the best teams in the state at downfield blocking. Hazard breaks a big running play and all three receivers will be down field taking peoples heads off. Whoever gets the ball all the other playmakers (and line) go 100% until the whistle is blown trying to get the guy who has the ball a TD or at least every yard they can get him. That is the sign of kids putting it all on the line for the team. No egos, just very competitive kids, in everything they do. The coaching staff does an excellent job of taking what the defense gives them and getting the open man the ball. Hazard has a lot of playmakers.
I just looked at Williamsburg's stats so to me your ego comment is directed at the wrong team. And i doubt you are going to see anything different when it comes to Hazard's defense against Williamsburg's playmakers. Wherever they line up Hazard feels hey have a DB or linebacker that can cover them. I am very interested in seeing how well Williamsburg's star athletes preform against Hazard's varsity defense.
To be honest most of them would rather play defense than offense. When you hear the Hazard kids talking it isn't about how many rushing yards or catches they have, they talk about how many teams the their Defense has held under 100 yards, about how many shutout quarters they have, about gang tackling. They talk about how hard their teammates hit, not about getting the ball.
Oh, and you also are singing Rocky Top and praising the Tenn athletes and talking about how UK ranks in the SEC. Have you seen the SEC polls lately? UT hasn't been just dominating UK over the past several years, let alone the SEC. UK's problem is coaches and recruiting, they can't even secure the top players in their own state.
Kentucky isn't doing to bad nationally in high school football. Several polls has had Trinity at or near the top since early this summer. I do not know for sure but they are saying that Trinity is fielding 13 D1 players right now.
I don't see the game friday night being a great game.

Hazard would beat Onieda or Oliver Springs tenn. by 3 TD's. When Harlan was healthy and playing good team ball they beat Williamsburg just as bad. Hazard beat a healthy Harlan by 25 points. Williamsburg will be a real good team next year and maybe a great team two years from now but,now their just too young to compete with Hazard. This will be a good learning experience for the Yellowjacket's and will help them to become contender's down the road. Williamsburg has accomplished a great deal for as young as they are and they have a bright future. But so far in the playoffs they have beaten Jenkins and a tattered Harlan team. Hazard is a giant leap forward.

I am well aware of hazards team and playmakers and I commend coach dixon for making sure they get enough plays around to all of their playmakers. My info came from a friend if mine who goes to everygame bulldog game and just a couple of months ago was tellig me about how they always have to worry about keeping everyone happy with play calls. May e be comig from the parents and not the players not sure. I will not make it a secret that my dislike for hazard athletics runs deep and i am not from williamsburg. I used to coach against them in other sports. Its not really a personal things just more like a rivalry.
Everyone seems so sure that hazard jv will log a lot of minutes in this game and i think williamsburg offense is being over looked. The comment about egos on the jacket side based on looking at stats must be geared towards the states leading reciever. Hey if he is open the ball will find him and a lot of the time that happens to be in the endzone. Teammates dont care as long as they score.
My comment about tennesse was obviously not read. I mentioned the louisville area schools and schools from the north along with the elites from the mountains. I hate tennesse and that crappy rocktop song. I bleed blue but truth is the truth and whether UT is able to keep them instate or not does not mean they still dont produce more top prospect talent. Again as bad as i hate to say it but comparing records of ut and uk in football is ridiculous for two reasons. Overal records cant be looked at look at the sec records over past 10 years. And really we have not beat them in 27 years.
I know an understand that hazard is the team to beat in 1 a football in the mountains. But williamsburg is an up and coming elite team in 1a football in the mountains. The question is will this be the season they get the dawgs. One thing is for sure i really Hope hazard has the same attitude going into the game as almost everyone on this board in thinking it will be a cake walk.

Why wouldn't everyone think it is going to be a cakewalk? I mean,really,Hazard is big and fast and have proven themselves by beating some good competition this season. Williamsburg,on the other hand,has won some games but,other than barely sqeaking by Leslie Co.,who have they beat? Harlan was way down and wasn't near the same team Williamsburg played at the beginning of the season. Also,Berea and Campbellsville almost got Williamsburg and that's been more recent. I mean Allen Central even played Williamsburg close. Truth is,Jughead,Hazard would have destroyed all those teams and did some of them. That's why it's hard for some of us not to pick Hazard in a blowout. It would take an absolute miracle for the Jacket's to win this game. Williamsburg has a lot of heart but the sensible man knows that heart isn't going to be enough in this game. Hazards O-line is so big and strong they could just run it up the middle every play for 10 yd's at a pop. Williamsburg just isn't big enough to stop it. Friday night you will see,jughead. Once those freshmen get a little older and a little more weight on there bones they might be able to stop a powerful running team and I know one day they will it's just not now.

Hazard overlooks no one. Dixon take each game one at a time and focuses on the task at hand. All the Hazard kids who were juniors would like to have there poor performance of a game they had last year against Mayfield in the finals and im sure they will be using that fuel in every game theyve played this season.

Knowing Hazard they want it way more.... Just to get back to Bowling Green and have another shot at Mayfield... Mayfield killed a dream season for the Bulldogs last year so I'd say Hazard wants to try to get a little pay back.

The field wont be a problem.
Even if it rained all week long, Wburg has one of the best fields and drainage systems in all of KY.
There groundskeepers do a great job.
