Greetings Colonel Nation!
Happy homecoming week Colonel fans and thank you to the many people who came out to support our team last Friday vs Bell County. We didn't play our best, especially in the first half, but I was proud of the effort and toughness we showed in the second half. The staff challenged the team to play tougher in the 3rd and 4th quarters and we did that. The players have always responded when challenged and that is a trait that we will build upon to continue to improve as the season goes on.

We have another tremendous challenge this week as we take on Pulaski County, the defending region champions who have a record of 4-1 this season. Our one common opponent is Corbin, which Pulaski beat in a very close game three weeks ago by a score of 23-22.

Our JV team improved to 3-1 on the season with a 14-0 shutout of Bell County on the road last night. Trevor Downs had a forced fumble and 2 TDs receiving from Mason Croley, while Bryson Potter caught a 2-pt conversion and David McFadden had several tackles and a forced fumble. The defense played great in the red zone and our offensive line played the best they have all JV season. We have 4 of the last 5 JV games at home - here is the updated JV schedule - games start at 6 p.m.:
THURSDAY 9/26 UPDATE: MONDAY'S JV GAME IS NOW AWAY vs PULASKI CO.
On Saturday night the 2019 Whitley County High School Athletics Hall of Fame Induction ceremony and banquet was held. Among the new indutees were two former Colonel Football players Darin Shelley and Rick McKiddy, both all-state offensive linemen from the mid to late 1990s. Congrats and thank you to them for helping to set the standard for outstanding achievement in the sport of football at our school.
That's all for this week - hope to see you at Colonel Stadium Friday night for our homecoming festivities and game.
GO COLONELS!!
