Greetings Colonel Nation!
Thank you to all who traveled to Clay County HS last Friday and cheered for our boys as we won the Appalachian Bowl vs Perry Central HS by a score of 33-6. Even with the early kickoff time of 6 p.m. we could see and hear our crowd and the team definitely appreciated it.

Our defense was very strong all night and only allowed two plays over 15 yards and just 201 total yards. We also had 3 takeaways, with two interceptions by Cam Gibbs and Bobby Downs and one fumble forced and recovered by Barrett Hollis.
Offensively we were limited to 59 plays but still had over 350 yards of offense and scored 5 TDs. Three areas of improvement offensively are limiting penalties, sacks, and turnovers.
Special teams were not as sharp as we struggled to cover kicks and make extra points, two things we will work hard on this week.
Players of the Week for Week 3 vs Perry Central:
JV Update and Schedule:
Last night the JV played at SW Pulaski and came up short 24-0. Next week we have another away JV game - PLEASE NOTE that our opponent has changed from Middlesboro (who had to cancel) to Harlan County. So, the JV team will play at Harlan County High School on Monday the 16th at about 6 p.m.
