COACH’S COMMENTS
“… It’s been a fun season watching this team grow. We’ve been hit with a lot of adversity especially losing one of our best players RB/LB ( Dylan Ferguson ) right out of the gates. We made some adjustments going into the Paintsville game (1 of the top ranked teams in KY beat Belfry almost 40 at Belfry, beat Pikeville etc). We had the ball with a chance to beat them but ran out of time on the 35. Fumbled on 1 and had TD called back on Russell.
“…Last two weeks came from behind to beat Raceland and Greenup (who had only lost to Central at that time). The kids are really playing confident football right now. It’s been fun watching them become a team.”
