Breathitt County will travel to Clay County to take on the Tigers Friday, October 11.
Herald-Leader Breathitt County falls to Perry Central By Mike Fields, Staff writer
Perry Central Coach Justin Haddix was back in familiar surroundings when he took his team to Breathitt County last Friday. Haddix quarterbacked Breathitt County to an undefeated state title in 2002 and was a Bobcats assistant in 2008 and '09. Haddix coached Perry Central to a home-field win over Breathitt County in 2010, and he improved to 2-0 against his former team with a 20-14 victory last week. Commodores' junior quarterback Nathan Pray ran for 214 yards and a TD, and threw for 126 yards and two TDs, including the game-winner with :07 left.
Clay County junior tailback Sam Carr got off to a slow start this season because of illness, but he looked robust in leading the Tigers past Whitley County 42-36 last week for their first win of the season. After rushing for 326 yards in Clay County's first four games, Carr ran for 332 yards and two TDs against Whitley County. Tigers Coach Evan Napier considers Carr one of the top backs in the state. "He has legit 4.5 speed, great feet and vision," Napier said.
Corbin (5-0) has had a running clock the last four weeks in lopsided victories over Perry Central (36-8), Trimble County (55-6), Danville (55-7) and South Laurel (53-0). The Redhounds have an open date this week as they get ready for a big district showdown with Wayne County next Friday. While Coach Steve Jewell likes that his team has won comfortably, he doesn't like it that his starters are getting shortchanged on playing time. "That's a concern," he said, "and that's why this off week we've been working a lot on conditioning." Jewell tweaked his offense this season by moving Taylor Waddle from quarterback to tailback, bolstering a running attack that also features Jake Coppock and Cai Jackson. Junior quarterback Corey Taylor continues to get better, and the Redhounds' offensive line has been solid. Corbin's defense has done its job, led by linebacker Tanner Powers.
The best team in the mountains might not be decided until the last week of the regular season when Johnson Central visits Belfry. Johnson Central stayed unbeaten with a surprisingly easy 36-14 win over Harlan County. The Golden Eagles led 36-0 at halftime, so the second half was played with a running clock. Daymion Belcher led the winners by rushing for 158 yards, including an 84-yard TD. Belfry stayed undefeated with a 56-20 rout of Pikeville. The Pirates' Justin Johnson and Austin Hatfield have combined for 800 yards and seven TDs rushing this year. www.kentucky.com/2013/09/26/2845359/franklin-county-football-still.html

The Clay County Tiger football team will travel to Knox Central Friday night at 7:30 PM. TheTimesTribune.com Knox Central snaps two-game skid, while Whitley County falls to 0-6 By John Stepp
After dropping their last two games, the Knox Central Panthers rolled past the Whitley County Colonels, 46-27, improving their record to 4-2 on the season. A breakout performance by sophomore running back Jacob Mills propelled the Panthers to the win. Mills finished the night with 183 yards on 23 carries, while scoring two touchdowns. Mills played in the absence of starting running back Jonathon Gist, who left the game in the second quarter with a pinched nerve. The Panthers also had a huge performance from junior quarterback Matthew Barger. Barger threw for 87 yards and three touchdowns, and also added 10 carries for 128 yards and a score.

TIMES TRIBUNE Panthers’ win over Clay County By John Stepp
Knox Central rolled to an easy 47-16 win over the visiting Clay County Tigers. It’s their second win after dropping back-to-back games for the first time since 2009. The Panthers relied heavily on their ground game to get the win. Knox Central racked up 333 yards on the ground, with four different players rushing for over 60 yards and scoring touchdowns. Senior running back Jonathan Gist led the Panthers with 105 yards and three rushing touchdowns. Quarterback Matthew Barger added 83 yards and a touchdown, while running backs Jeremy Stewart and Jacob Mills finished up with 64 and 60 yards, respectively, with one touchdown apiece. The Panthers’ offense was not the only reason for their domination of the Tigers, though. The Knox Central defense shut down Clay County in every facet of the game, limiting them to just one offensive touchdown. The Tigers would score their first touchdown of the night to open second half, as Sam Carr scored with 3:48 remaining in the third quarter. Clay County’s other touchdown came off an Arnold Arnett kickoff return. thetimestribune.com/sports/x862176485/Knox-in-a-big-way

TIMES TRIBUNE Scott Russell says his team played its best game of the season in win over Clay County By Les Dixon, Sports Editor
Scott Russell’s Knox Central Panthers have been up-and-down the entire season, but their 47-16 win over Clay County might be the win they needed. Russell said his team played its best game of the season, and it came at the right time with Rockcastle County and Russell County up next on the Panther schedule. I was really impressed with the way Knox Central came out and took care of business against Clay County. I really thought the Tigers would hang tough with the Panthers, but Knox Central received a 105-yard rushing effort from Jonathan Gist along with three touchdowns to knock off the Tigers, 47-16. The Panthers put the game away early by jumping out to a 40-0 lead. You gotta give credit to Phil Russell and his Lynn Camp Wildcats. They are making believers out of everyone. Lynn Camp is now standing at 3-3 on the season after knocking off Clinton County 50-28 this past Friday. The 50 points is the most scored under a Russell-coached team at Lynn Camp and is the first time the Wildcats have scored 50 points since former coach David Mitchell’s squad tagged Clinton County with a 52-point effort on Sept. 9, 2008. Like I said, both Knox Central and Lynn Camp picked up impressive wins, and gaining momentum coming out of those games will prove to be huge for both teams with important district games coming up. thetimestribune.com/sports/x1836130163/Gaining-momentum

centralkynews.com Boyle County’s pursuit of eighth state title begins with Clay County By HAL MORRIS
Having wrapped up an unbeaten regular season with an easy win over Whitley County on Friday, Boyle County can now turn its full attention to what matters most to the Rebels: The postseason. Boyle led by 22 points 1 minute, 15 seconds into the game and had a 36-point lead and running clock with 5:46 left in the first quarter in a 46-14 win over the Colonels. No. 2 Boyle hosts Clay County in the first round of the Class AAAA playoffs next Friday, and will have home field advantage throughout. Friday’s game also gave the Rebels a chance to rest. Aiden Stewart-Hoskins and Bryce Marshall say out to rest injuries, and Robbins only played offense. French said getting his team that much more time to heal was key. Boyle’s pursuit of an eighth state title begins next Friday when Clay visits Rebel Stadium. www.centralkynews.com/amnews/sports/high_school/prep-football-boyle-county-cruises-past-whitley---in/article_fa58766c-4374-11e3-b974-0019bb30f31a.html

amnews.com Boyle coach Larry French says Rebels will face better Clay County team By MIKE MARSEE
Clay County has only half as many wins as it had when it came to Boyle County a year ago, but Boyle coach Larry French said the Tigers are absolutely better this season. French is preparing his team to face Clay in the first round of the Class AAAA playoffs for the second consecutive year. And even though the Rebels won last year’s meeting by 52 points, he said the coaching staff will work to make sure they don’t take this game for granted. Clay (2-8) comes to Rebel Stadium with a four-game losing streak that includes losses in all three of its district games. The Tigers last win was a 34-22 victory over Leslie County on Sept. 27, and a week earlier they edged Whitley County — the team Boyle lambasted last week 46-14. They are in their second year under coach Evan Napier, and French said that has probably contributed to the improved play he has seen on film, especially on offense. Clay’s primary playmaker is running back Sam Carr, who leads the Tigers in rushing with 1,365 yards and 12 touchdowns and in receiving with 13 catches for 197 yards. The Tigers also have an experienced quarterback in Ryan Holland, who has thrown for 789 yards and five touchdowns but is averaging about 30 fewer passing yards per game than last year. Clay has averaged 19.0 points and 275 yards per game, including 180 rushing yards per game. The Tigers scored a total of six points in their first three games but have scored 26 or more points in five of their last seven. Other teams are also moving the ball on the Tigers, however. No opponent has scored fewer than 21 points on them, and they are allowing 34.9 points and 284 yards per game. Linebacker Jacob Reid leads the Clay defense with 99 total tackles — 47 more than the team’s second-best tackler — and linebacker Tyler Lyttle has recovered three fumbles. Boyle (10-0) is averaging 34.6 points and 328 yards per game, and the Rebels are allowing 10.7 points and 252 yards per game. The Rebels wrapped up the 10th undefeated regular season in school history last week with an easy win over Whitley, and they got to rest some of their more battered and banged-up players at the same time. For example, quarterback-defensive back Josiah Robbins did not play on defense, and running back-linebacker Aiden Stewart-Hoskins and defensive back Bryce Marshall did not play at all. They enter the postseason with a healthy squad and designs on contending for a championship, though French said the intensity level hasn’t necessarily gone up just because the playoffs are at hand. www.centralkynews.com/amnews/sports/high_school/prep-football-boyle-coach-larry-french-says-rebels-will-face/article_6631513c-474f-11e3-94d9-001a4bcf6878.html

centralkynews.com Boyle County eliminates Clay County in first round of Class 4A playoffs By MIKE MARSEE
For at least a few moments Friday night, things looked awfully familiar at Rebel Stadium. The touchdowns were coming quickly for Boyle County, and Clay County was even fumbling kickoffs, just as the Rebels’ previous opponent had done a week earlier. In no time at all, Boyle had cleared a path to the second round of the Class AAAA, Region 3 playoffs, scoring six times in just over 13 minutes at the start of the game en route to a 53-6 rout of Clay in its first-round game. In fact, Boyle did what it were expected to do, putting Clay away quickly and decisively for the second straight year in the first round of the playoffs. The clock began running continuously early in the second quarter when the Rebels went up 40-0 early in the second quarter, giving them their third mercy-rule win in their last four games. That’s a concern for Boyle coach Larry French as he looks ahead to the Rebels’ second-round game this Friday against Mercer County (7-4), which defeated Knox Central 31-14 in its first-round game. Boyle ran only 24 offensive plays against Clay, scoring on seven of them. The Rebels scored on their first six possessions, then chose not to run a play after receiving a punt in the final seconds of the first half, and they scored once more on their first series of the second half. Meanwhile, Clay (2-9) struggled to move the ball. The Tigers rushed for 130 yards, led by Carr with 63, but they got 64 of them on their lone scoring drive in the fourth quarter. INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS RUSHING—Clay, Sam Carr 19-63, Dakota Byrd 6-47, Ryan Holland 5-15, Nathan Sizemore 2-4, Jacob Reid 2-1. Boyle, Aiden Stewart-Hoskins 4-86, Josiah Robbins 3-75, Seph Burke 7-50, Brandon Devins 3-28, Levi McKinney 1-21, Joe Shewmaker 1-11, Nick Roney 1-1. PASSING—Clay, Holland 1-7-1-20.
