The last time Clay County won a district football championship was in 1992 on a cold, snowy field at Cawood High School. 18 years later it will be the same field, but a new improved opponent as the Clay County Tigers and Harlan County Black Bears are in a showdown for a district championship.
Both enter Friday’s 7:30 p.m. game at the James A. Cawood field with 7-1 records overall and 4-0 district marks. Both opened the season with losses, then reeled off seven straight victories. And both are hungry for a district championship and the opportunity to stay at home for four rounds of the Class 5A playoffs.
Read about the match up at harlandaily.com harlandaily.com/bookmark/9988508Read what the fans are saying at www.bluegrassrivals.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95097
The Whitley County Colonels will finally be playing a game at Colonel Stadium Friday after going on the road five times during their last six games. Friday’s contest against district foe Perry Central is an important one with the No. 3 seed of the Class 5A, District 8 up for grabs. thetimestribune.com/sports/x356197959/Colonels-are-glad-to-be-back-home

Lewis leads Morehead to come from behind victoryMorehead State Press Release Zach Lewis
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—This time it was Morehead State that won on a late score. Rainer Duzan booted a 23-yard field goal with 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter to life the Eagles over Butler, 21-20, in a Pioneer Football League game Saturday afternoon at the Butler Bowl. The game-winning kick came following a trio of passes from Zach Lewis totaling 49 yards and pass to Donte Sawyer that nearly resulted in a game-winning touchdown. Lewis engineered the game-winning drive with 59 seconds remaining. It offset a late field goal by Butler’s David Lang that put the Bulldogs in front late in the fourth quarter. Lewis, who played quarterback at Clay County High School, was 29-for-47 for 307 yards, spreading the wealth with three receivers totaling over 50-yards receiving each, led by Sawyer’s seven catches for 70 yards. Desmond Cox carried the ball 13 times for a season-high 72 yards. Morehead State returns home next Saturday for the Eagles’ Homecoming game against PFL rival Jacksonville. Kick-off is set for 2:00 p.m. www.msueagles.com/news/2010/10/23/FB_1023102238.aspx

Wilson makes baseball visit to UK
My son John Wilson made an unofficial visit to the University of Kentucky as a guest of the Wildcat baseball team. That's me on the right of John and his mother Joyce is on the left.
After a disappointed loss to Harlan County Friday night in the Class 5A District 8 football championship John got home at 2 AM and had to be at CCHS for the ACT test at 8 AM Saturday. After the test we made the drive to Lexington and were given a walking tour of the UK campus and baseball facilities. After we got to Commonwealth Stadium for the UK-Georgia game we went down on the field for warm ups. It was a great day till the game started and it turned into a replay of the CCHS game at HCC the night before. You cannot give up unforced turnovers to a good team and win.

Jacksonville wins over Zach Lewis and Morehead State Morehead State press releaseZach Lewis
Morehead State football found out Saturday that sometimes there is truth in advertising. Jacksonville’s NCAA-leading offense was as good as advertised, racking up 566 yards in a 61-17 Pioneer Football League win over the Eagles. The Dolphins had nine touchdowns, eight of which came through the air. “They are definitely the real deal, they are legitimate,” MSU coach Matt Ballard said. “They’re a very talented football team, tremendous speed and quickness and just too much horsepower for us today.” It looked good early for the Eagles, thanks to a mistake by JU on its first offensive drive. A miscommunication caused quarterback Josh McGregor to handoff to a runner that wasn’t there. McGregor attempted to salvage the play with a lateral, but the swarming Eagle defense caused an errant flip and a fumble, which MSU’s Thaddeus Winston jumped on. The Eagles drove 61 yards in six plays for a 28-yard Rainer Duzan field goal. JU went three and out after the field goal, but scored touchdowns on long pass plays on the next two possessions, the first a 34-yard toss to Rudell Small, the second a 49-yard strike to Rodney Sumter. They were the first two of seven scoring passes for McGregor, who totaled 347 yards through the air. Combined the two teams threw for 659 yards spread across 19 different pass catchers. Eight different receivers caught passes for the Dolphins, but the Eagles topped that with 11 different receivers, led by Ronnie McDermott’s game-high seven catches for 121 yards. Zach Lewis was 21-for-38 for MSU for 223 yards. The Eagles forced another JU three and out at the start of the second quarter with a big sack for a nine-yard loss by Kameron Scott on third down. The Eagles couldn’t hold on to the punt though, and the Dolphins recovered the loose ball with a short field. Three quick plays and 26 yards later, McGregor completed a pass to Josh Philpart for four yards and a touchdown. “If we had played smarter, more disciplined, made fewer mistakes, the margin and big plays would have been as big as they what they were,” Ballard said. “We didn’t play as well as we’re capable of doing, and that’s what’s disappointing. We had our chances early, we had plenty of opportunities, we just didn’t take advantage of them. JU scored its final first-half touchdown following a seven-play, 63-yard drive that was capped by a seven-yard pass from McGregor to Small. The Dolphins scored again on a long pass play on their first drive of the third quarter, when McGregor threw to Elliott Finkley for a 69-yard touchdown. MSU responded with a rushing touchdown to finish a nine-play, 75-yard drive. Ryan Smart scored on a two-yard plunge into the end zone. Smart’s run was set up by a 41-yard bullet pass from Lewis to McDermott. JU put the game out of reach with a pair of touchdowns from McGregor to Finkley and Philpart. The Dolphins added two more scores in the fourth quarter on passes from McGregor to Philpart and Erik Stapleton. Philpart had the most scoring plays of a non-quarterback, catching three TD tosses. Morehead State got one of those back when quarterback Evan Sawyer entered in relief and hooked up on a 37-yard pass to Michael Gallick. It was Sawyer’s first appearance of the 2010 season. The touchdown pass was his only completion in three passes Saturday. The Eagles hit the road for the last time this season, traveling to San Diego next Saturday for a Pioneer League Football game against the Toreros. “I fully believe and expect [the team] will do a great job in our process and preparation in getting ready for San Diego,” Ballard said. “The Eagles are resilient, our guys are strong and will bounce back from this.” www.msueagles.com/news/2010/10/30/FB_1030100056.aspx

Eagle Offense Stymied In Loss At San Diego Morehead State press releaseZach Lewis
SAN DIEGO, Calif.—Morehead State will get the West Coast monkey off its back one day, but Saturday was not that day. The Eagles lost a Pioneer Football League game to San Diego, 34-0, Saturday at Torero Stadium. USD is now 6-0 all-time versus Morehead State. The Toreros held the Eagle offense back all day, frustrating quarterback Zach Lewis with three interceptions and a fumble while holding the sophomore signal caller to 14-for-38 for 125 yards. In all, the Eagles tallied 133 yards of total offense, their lowest output of the season. “We had opportunities early on and we squandered those. Then we give up a big play and that put us in a big hole,” MSU coach Matt Ballard said. Morehead State punted 12 times after going 0-13 on third down conversions and had the ball on offense just over 22 of the game’s 60 minutes. Five different times San Diego started a drive in MSU territory. “We didn’t take advantage of our opportunities and then we gave them a gift with starting field position,” Ballard said. “They had a short porch all day long. We were our own worst enemy today.” Four first-half turnovers stalled MSU’s offense early in the game and resulted in the Toreros’ first score, a 54-yard pick six by Al-Rilwan Adeyemi. The Eagles had 98 yards of offense in a pass-heavy first half. It was the third time this season MSU was unable to score in the first half and the sixth time the Eagles were held to three or fewer first-half points. San Diego’s second touchdown came on a 59-yard pass from Mills to Kyle Warren. Prior to that, the Eagle defense had kept the Torero offense in check, never allowing them to advance past the MSU 37 yard line. A 30-yard field goal by Stanley Shurson midway through the second quarter and a 23-yard completion from Mills to Reggie Bell gave USD a 24-0 lead heading into the locker room. USD added 10 points in the second half, three on a 33-yard field goal by Shurson and a five-yard pitch and catch touchdown from Mills to Godfrey Smith. Mills finished the day 17-of-32 for 240 yards. Despite the score, the Morehead State defensive effort was solid. Tony Backman led the Eagle defense with 16 tackles and a sack and Jerome Raymond had two sacks and a quarterback hurry for MSU. Ryan Williams forced a fumble, San Diego’s only turnover of the game. The Eagles return home for their final two games of the season, facing PFL foe Valparaiso Saturday at 1 p.m. at Jayne Stadium.

Zach Lewis throws for 317 yards in 37-15 win over ValparaisoMorehead State Press Release Zach Lewis
MOREHEAD, Ky.—Morehead State racked up 609 yards of total offense en route to a 37-15 Pioneer Football League win over Valparaiso Saturday afternoon at Jayne Stadium. The Eagles tallied 345 yards through the air, a season-high 264 yards on the ground and 34 total first downs, one shy of the PFL record. It was the most yards of offense since a 679-yard output by the 2005 team over Austin Peay, eclipsing a 512-yard game earlier this season. Defensively the Eagles were just as good, holding Valpo to 124 yards of offense, including -26 on the ground. MSU had seven sacks, 12 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles and nine pass break-ups. Keaton May had seven tackles, six of which were solo, and Jerome Raymond had 3.5 tackles for loss, all of which were sacks. Kameron Scott registered four pass break-ups. “We did a lot right today,” Coach Matt Ballard said. “The main thing is that we took command and control of the interior line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Each and every given week, that’s usually where the game is won or lost. I’m just very pleased with the way our offensive line and defensive line came off the football and took charge and control." The win snapped a two-game skid for MSU and improved the Eagles to 4-6 overall and 3-4 in the PFL. Neither team wanted to hold onto the ball in the first half. There were six first half fumbles, five of which resulted in turnovers. There were a total of eight fumbles in the game, six of which were lost and an interception for seven total turnovers between the two teams. Those fumbles ended two first-quarter Morehead State drives, but sandwiched between those was a Rainer Duzan 26-yard field goal, MSU’s only score in the first quarter. Following its third lost fumble to start the second quarter, a pair of MSU touchdowns gave the Eagles a commanding 17-0 halftime lead. Morehead State took advantage of a Kevin Becker catch and fumble at midfield and drove 50 yards in eight plays to score on a 8-yard Desmond Cox rush. Quarterback Zach Lewis and Cox set up the second score with a 61-yard pass and scamper down the right sideline to the Valpo 11-yard line. Lewis completed a pass to Donte Sawyer for 10 yards and then scored on a 1-yard QB keeper. Lewis caught Ronnie McDermott on a 22-yard pass over the middle and Cox rushed the ball for 25 yards to set up MSU’s next touchdown following the second-half kickoff. Cox, who finished the day with a season-high 124 yards, scored on the next play, a two-yard plunge that put the Eagles up 24-0. Morehead State stopped Valpo on their next possession, forcing Greg Wood into one of his nine punts, but Lewis, trying to get rid of the ball on MSU’s first play as the pocket collapsed, was intercepted by Eli Crawford and returned for a touchdown. The Eagles responded with a 10-play, 64-yard drive that was capped by a 21-yard Duzan field goal. Duzan added a 37-yarder at the beginning of the fourth quarter too. The Crusaders tried to start a rally with a series of Eric Lemon passes that went 85 yards in nine plays for a Lemon to Travis Anderson touchdown. Lemon found Bobby Wysocki on a two-point conversion try and the Crusaders pulled within two scores. Valparaiso’s onside kick was recovered by Donte Sawyer, ending the comeback bid. Evan Sawyer, playing in relief of Lewis for the third straight game, made sure the rally was dead with a 43-yard scoring drive that was finished with a 14-yard pass to Brennan Sargent for a touchdown. Lewis finished with 317 yards through the air, his fifth 300-yard game this season. McDermott and Donte Sawyer each caught six passes, collecting 66 and 43 yards respectively. The Crusaders, whose bye week is next week, finish the season winless at 0-11 overall and 0-8 in the PFL. The Eagles close out 2010 with a home date against Campbell with kick-off set for 1 p.m. MSU will recognize the seniors playing in their final game. “It’s going to be a special and emotional week because it is senior day,” Ballard said. “We’ve got to focus in and we’ve got to have a great week of preparation. We know very sound football team coming in here.” www.msueagles.com/news/2010/11/13/FB_1113104248.aspx

Alice Lloyd senior Will Jones scores 17 against NCAA Division I opponent EKU Will Jones
Berea, KY. (November 5th, 2010) -Coach J.R. Hammond and Alice Lloyd traveled to Richmond Friday night to battle NCAA D1 opponent Eastern Kentucky University. For many schools in Alice Lloyd's position, an exhibition against a NCAA D1 school is an opportunity to gain experience. As the game unfolded, it was apparent that Alice Lloyd had other plans. They made the trip to defeat a program that has made the NCAA tournament 2 of the last 6 seasons. Alice Lloyd started the game on an 11-2 run after a 3-pointer from senior Will Jones. EKU quickly countered with a run of their own and cut the lead to 14-12 after a dunk with 11:58 remaining in the first half. For the next several minutes each school traded baskets. EKU regained the lead with 6:02 left to play in the half after a basket by Deverin Muff. Alice Lloyd, however, was in Richmond to compete and tied the game at 27 after a 3-pointer by junior Zach Hurt with 1:10 remaining in the half. EKU led at the half 31-27. After a turnover by Alice Lloyd to start the second half, EKU stretched their lead to nine with 18:01 remaining. EKU didn't pick up their first double digit lead until the 6:00 minute mark after a controversial foul call on Alice Lloyd. After a driving layup by Alice Lloyd senior Daniel Combs, the EKU advantage was 64-56 with 3:34 remaining in the game. Alice Lloyd was unable to get any closer as EKU led at the final buzzer, 75-60. Alice Lloyd senior Will Jones led all scorers with 17 points on 6-13 shooting from the field. Senior Daniel Combs chipped in with 14 points.

Jones has 19 points in opening game of season Alice Lloyd Press Release Will Jones

Zach Lewis throws for 322 yards as Morehead wins in overtime over Campbell Morehead State Press Release Zach Lewis
MOREHEAD, Ky.—Morehead State football wanted to make sure its seniors went out with a game to remember. The Eagles scored a game-tying touchdown late in regulation, then made a defensive stop followed by a game-winning score to slip past Campbell 30-24 in a double overtime Pioneer Football League game Saturday afternoon in Jayne Stadium. “The way the game was today fought, tooth and nail, going into overtime, such a great physical gutsy comeback is extremely special,” MSU coach Matt Ballard said. Yes for our seniors, but really for all of our guys.” MSU improved to 5-6, 4-4 in the PFL and Campbell fell to 3-8 overall and 2-6 in the PFL in the finale for both teams. You have two football teams that are very evenly matched with two completely different systems,” Ballard said. “They’re a run football team, the best in the conference, and we were throwing it all over the place. It was just a real interesting matchup.” Morehead State tied the game with two minutes left in regulation. The five-play, 64-yard drive was fueled by a 50-yard strike from Lewis to McDermott over the middle, putting the Eagles within field goal range. Lewis completed another 9-yard pass to Andre Williams, then took matters into his own hands by moving the chains with a 2-yard rush. Running back Blake Stanley then pounded in a 2-yard touchdown. Campbell won the overtime coin toss, and elected to begin on defense. Lewis completed three of his four passes on the first series, two to Donte Sawyer and one to Adam Slupski. Lewis then put the Eagles ahead with an 8-yard rush for a touchdown, pushing the score to 24-17. The Camels got inside the five on their first overtime possession, and MSU kept the visitors out of the end zone for three downs, but Campbell running back CJ Oates tied the game on a do-or-die down with his fourth-and-one scamper into the end zone. Alternating possessions gave the ball back to Campbell in the second overtime. After three failed attempts to move the chains, the Camels missed a 41-yard field goal. A completed pass from Lewis to Desmond Cox and a 5-yard rush from Cox put the Eagles on the 4-yard line. Halfback Adam Slupski scored the game-winning touchdown on a 3-yard rush. Morehead State first cracked the scoreboard late in the second quarter when Cox scored on an 8-yard toss from Lewis that completed a 12-play, 71 yard drive highlighted by a pair of 17-yard completions from Lewis to Slupski and Drew Morgan. The Camels responded on the next drive, driving 62 yards on 13 straight rushes, scoring on a 1-yard plunge by Daniel Polk around the left side. Campbell did not complete a pass in the first half and tried just six throws in the first two quarters. Rainer Duzan added a 20-yard field goal early in the third, capping a 45-yard, eight play drive that stalled on a fourth and two three yards from the end zone. Campbell took the lead on the ensuing drive, starting with Polk’s first completion of the day for eight yards. The Camels went 68 yards in 10 plays, scoring on a 10-yard pass from Polk to Mike Stryffeler in the back of the end zone. The Camels made it a seven-point lead on a 27-yard field goal by Adam Willets with 4:42 left in the game that led to the late MSU heroics. “We keep them out of the end zone toward the end of the fourth quarter and force them to kick a field goal. If they score, we go down by two scores.” Ballard said. “Our defense bones up and keeps them out of the end zone and then we get huge play on first down by Ronnie McDermott.” Lewis finished 32-of-45 for 322 yards. Slupski caught 10 of those for 80 yards and Cox had 10 carries for 26 yards. Tony Bachman led the MSU defense with 19 total tackles. Polk finished 6-of-15 for 42 yards through the air. The Camels had three players with more than 61 yards, including 117 on 22 carries by Rashaun Brown and Polk’s 61 yards. www.msueagles.com/news/2010/11/20/FB_1120103508.aspx
