MF has advantages in Offensive skill players, coaching and tradition. C has better D and trench players. I am starting to doubt whether my original prediction of C being the favorite is correct.

Corbin has weak coaching and no tradition. They will have a tough time staying close with Mayfield.

[pjdoug]

It’s not correct. I know something you don’t know MC. Been doing my usual research and extra convo. Let’s just say, this ain’t the same Corbin as last year. It will be proven Friday.

it sure will :Clap::Clap:

[Single Wing 77]

I was there. After the kid held the ball, made a gallon of Kool-Aid, extra sugar, and then baked brownies...Then Corbin get a few sacks on last minute scrambles. Never saw pass protection that long at the high-school level...But Corbin mainly runshes only 3 or 4, drop the linebackers into coverage, or the flats and I didn't see many blitz packages, at least that game. Beechwood's O-line is incredible.

That’s because beechwood’s qb was more danger scrambling than throwing. He kept their first drive alive when he scrambled for a first down on 3rd and 15. Corbin’s D-line played patient and didn’t let him scramble after that. When Corbin wanted to get pressure on him they did.

I know!! I’m been secretly putting a hex on Whitley so we can steal their HC. What’s tradition?

[barnabus_c2001]

How many people live in Corbin Kentucky i saw on internet about 7600 if so how could they be a 4a team next year.My research could be and probably is wrong but someone straighten me out.?

Corbin has excellent coaching, just not as good as MF's. Haddix is the best young coach I can think of but the vet Morris has more and a staff that I believe to be the best in the state. When Morris retires Haddix might be the guy we pick next. Corbin also has great tradition but don't kid yourself at it being equal to MF's. We have more wins, (4th Nationally), alot more state titles and lead the head to head record vs Corbin. Mayfield is a blue blood and that tradition gives our kids an extra edge. That is something you wouldnt understand until you have experienced it. Is it enough to beat a great Corbin team? No idea but it helps

[Tica]

Plus Mayfield coaches seem to get new pickup trucks.

[billsizemore63]

I’ll tell ya what I thought Trinity fans were cocky. They don’t hold a light to you Mayfield fans lol. I would say that I feel like you’re gonna get humbled Friday but I feel like you’ll be the type to blame officiating weather or something similar

I think population in corbin is closer to 10K now.
The reason the numbers aren't figuring in your head is because of recipricol agreements. Corbin has hundreds of kids I'm their school system that live outside city limits in Whitley county as well as Knox and Laurel.
It's pretty much open enrollment and corbin is sitting in a perfect spot to pick and choose kids from the entire tri county area. Even if the recirpricol agreements didnt exist like the old days, kids could still pay tuition to attend corbin if they lived out of district.

It's what has worked for them for 100 years.

Won’t here me complain about the referees unless there is something to complain about like a receiver coming off the sidelines just before a snap or something any way haven’t you heard we bring our own Refs. To bad they got lost on the way to last years State Championship because we had to use the ones Danville brought. LOL

LOL good deal bc I can’t stand blaming the officiating it’s a bad look. Danville was tough last year. They would’ve did that to a lot of people. Good luck to Both teams. Hope for a good injury free football game. District play is about to start heating up so stay healthy!!!

In addition, I have always heard that Corbin has excellent academics

[MayfieldCardinal]

When Morris retires I would not be shocked at all to see Haddix get the call if he continues to advance his game

Am afraid we are going to end up with a Hatchell head coach and I will have to watch tennis

Boosters are genuinely good hearted people.

Refs have cost us before.

[bcpc]

Man o Man, this stuff is too good! Surprised the Cardinals can actually fly with heads this big and wings so small!

[mysonis55]

I think the guru will be next, that is Cliff Dew. Hatchell would not because he is asst principal and he is younger.

[bcpc]

Less than a .01% chance Mayfield scores 51 points. If you are a bookie, I need your number please.

[mysonis55]

To correct a earlier statement the Cards run defense graded out below 80% only once against Union City on the IMTU grade system

I think one of the linemen graded out at 90%.

I figured anyone with any football knowledge would know what this grading scale is. I mean, I expected Dougie to not know but, I’m sure some of the Corbin fans have used it in the past. :biglmao::biglmao::biglmao:

Gutherie & Stinson both 98% I was told, What did Mathews and Neely grade #55?

[barnabus_c2001]

When coach Joe retires who knows David Moriss may want to give it a go have a feeling he would continue Mayfields success he has a great football mind.

[RunItUpTheGut]

When Morris retires I would not be shocked at all to see Haddix get the call if he continues to advance his game

If he stays in the high school game, he will be at Corbin

[Patriot1]

I give mysonis55 he has great football knowledge giving all these grades and scores

[RunItUpTheGut]

In addition, I have always heard that Corbin has excellent academics

Schools like Whitley have greatly closed the gap in the past decade but it's not because corbin is getting worse.
Corbin has pretty much always been a top 10-15 school district in the state. Most other schools in this area have been close to a state takeover at one point or another.

My sibling went to Corbin. We had to pay around 2000 back when we moved out of the city limits for tuition. That same year was my first year of school and my parents put me in Whitley to avoid a second kids tuition or I would have been a corbin alum as well.

Corbin has been and continues to be the standard for excellence in academics in SEKY.
Until recently no other school came close.

LOL! This may be the most arrogant statement I have ever read on Bluegrass Rivals. While I agree Mayfield has one of the best programs in the state, Corbin isn't chopped liver. So you are assuming that if you all pick Haddix as your next coach, he will drop everything and move to Mayfield? That is a bit conceded.

[deadfish]

I just love reading all this stuff from everyone. All the smack talk is great. I do think that a few go a little too far but that is ok. Both of these teams are good, great coaches, tradition, and think they are the best team, and this Friday they will put it on the line. The boys on the field decide who is the best that night, not we who post. The winner does not always mean that they are the best because luck sometimes has a way of changing things. The ball doesn't always bounce in your favor. A mistaken bad call can go against you or a no call can also go against you. Sometimes you just aren't at your best and no matter how hard you try you just can't seem to do your best. This could happen to either team this Friday night. I hope it doesn't but it could. The team that plays the best. makes fewer mistakes, and gets the ball to bounce their way will win the game. I think both teams are evenly matched and it should be a good game. The young men on the field will give it their best and no matter what we think, post, or truly believe, they will be the deciding factor. All these post will not change a thing.

[jamesdeane]

If he stays in the high school game, he will be at Corbin

Yep you're right. Most everyone knows about the offer Bowling Green made last year to hire him, but not too many people know he was contacted by a Lexington school and told him the job was his to take. I don't really expect Haddix to stay at Corbin forever, but I do think when he leaves, it will be for a shot at the next level.
