As of now we have Jacksboro, Horace Maynard, Soldier's Memorial, and Clinton JV from TN. Frou KY I have South Laurel, Corbin, Rockcastle County, McCreary County, and North Laurel...Our goal is to get 10, but the main goal is to put on a good jamboree with strong levels of competition.

This is to be held at Jacksboro Middle school on August 19, it will include 10 TN vs. 10 KY teams. If anyone is interested please let me know ASAP. I am looking for good competition to book for this event, and any suggestions are welcome. Jacksboro is located in East Tennessee near the KY line. I can answer any further questions if needed.

Corbin, KY Redhounds (Class of 2002) 6'1 255 Guard/DT, All-State, District, Mountains, & Tri-County teams. 10-2 record for the year, but choked in the playoffs. Played at Coastal Carolina University (Conway, SC) as a center and Centre College (Danville, KY) as a DT respecitvely before injury ended my career. I hope to start a coaching career after I finish school.

Campbell County High School combined three schools: The Wynn High Bulldogs (Red, White, & Blue) The Jacksboro Golden Eagles (Royal and Old Gold) The LaFollette Owls (Orange and White)

A coach makes a big difference, but Shouse is very capable of coordinating the defense. They are just very young and inexperienced. CC must right the ship this week though. I know all too well what it is like to have high expectations going in and then lose two straight really takes the wind out of the sails. I think they will gel this week, and it will certainly be a much better game than the Heritage fans and players on this board are thinking.

Guru you need to back off the Confederate flag rhetoric. The flag stands for self determination, constitutional principles, and patriotism. Only worthless groups like the KKK and the skin-heads bastardize the flag by carrying it. Campbell County was a heavily Union area during the war for Southern Independence. As for the Confederacy, joining would not have been a problem for anyone that believed in the ideas of the forefathers and our Revolutionary heritage. I would rather fight and die defending patriotism than submit to the shame of living under the rule of tyranny. Read some source documents and get out of the high school history books before you spew such ignorance!!!

I honestly don't know enough about this game to say anything meaningfull at this point. I do think the Cougars have a good Defense, but it seems the offense has struggled without Stiner...any chance he will play? I hope the Cougars win. If they do it will be very close, no more than a 3 point spread. Campbell County for the 11th straight week is playing the biggest game of the year!!!!!! Go Cougs!!!!!!!

Great game for the Cougars! I figured it would be higher scoring, but a Win is a Win. Go Cougs take the momentum into the playoffs...don't be satisfied!

Dewayne Wells of Campbell County...enough said. Cougars make first ever playoff appearance...first ever winning record! Heck of a job!

I guess a pansy plays a quarter with a broken bone in his foot. You are really not worth replying to, but I guess I can humor you. Devin, we shall drink some barley and hops when I make the journey to the Boro, or some gator hater-aid. Are you gonna make it to Karns...the hole of the earth? I do detest that place; they quite possibly have the worst facilities ever and their locker room is like three miles from the field. I do think it will be close, but maybe a little more scoring than you said...although our Soph. year it ended 6-0. That was surely not a precoursor to the next year with a score of like 50's to 40's, not sure of the exact number...but remember the block on Stuckey WOO HOO!

I really hate that cursed field at Karns. On Friday, October 13th, both myself and a really good friend of mine sustained season ending injuries on the same night. That's beside the point. I think CC will rally behind whoever is the QB because their whole season has been built on TEAM. This being said I believe they will also right the ship after a tough loss last week. The Seniors will want revenge since their Sr. night was ruined by the Tribe of DB. I believe this will be a grind it out field position game, and CC wins in the final minutes 21-16. Go Cougs!!!

Easy on the mud-slinging there cougar alum. I mainly went on the field to talk to Josh James...who quit the team and is now a coach. I felt a little uncomfortable until Coach Wells came up and thanked me for coming and we had a brief conversation...he is a class act and has done more to heal old wounds than anyone else. The other reason I went down there was because Devin rode up there with me, and I had to kinda keep up with him. I have explained the transfer issue on other threads, so it is not going to be done again. I have gone to at least one game every year since I left CC, in response to the accusation that I wouldn't be coming if CC wasn't winning. If I was no good in H.S. I certainly would not have been all-state and various other honors, nor gone on to play college ball until an injury ended that stint. Opinions are like butt-holes, everybody has one. One other thing...if I was so terrible as you said cougaralum, and the transfers are what have hurt this program...then my leaving would have been good for the team to lose such a terrible player...hmm logic is a jerk isn't it. As for the game, I think if Slover is the QB he will do well. He is, if I am not mistaken, the back-up. Since he is a Sr. he will show a lot of maturity and poise. He is also a great competitor. This is now the biggest game in school history...The Cougars have gone from door-matt to region contender in a year, and this game will decide the region championship!

We were on our way back from Johnson City and we were just talking about what the worst thing that could happen would be for next season. We decided that some of the assistants would be good head coaches. the worst thing to happen would be to lose some of the coaches. I am not advertising. Just dreading potential events. I hope I am wrong. Never said anyting good about leaving for greener pastures. Just defending a life-changing decision, and giving reasons for it. thumb

The Cougars have a very tall mountain to climb this week. I will be in the stands supporting these boys, but it is a tall order to beat a top team like DB. If CC keeps it close until the half look out...could be trouble. The TEAM will have to play the game of its life Friday. The fans will have to be rowdier than ever. The coaches will have to bring their A game. All this comes together and we MAY see the upset however unlikely.

Campbell County does not always lose to Karns. Maybe Coach Wells hasn't had a team beat Karns...Yet. But I believe that will change this year. I also think the Tribe coming to Jacksboro will be a huge game...I will be there. Two weeks in a row, I am on a streak. Go Cougs!! Also let me say how impressed I am with the coaching staff. The team has bought into everything that Wells has said, and it shows. When they were down 16 they kept their composure, and it filtered down to the players on the field. This is a top-notch staff, and I would not be surprised to hear a few phones ringing after the season is over...schools will be licking their chops trying to get these guys.

Anybody that was a captain of any team has leadership ability. Secondly I did play college football (D-1AA). I had many offers, but decided at the 1AA level I could play early. Johnson is a good back, but a team does not have to have stand out individuals to win. They play as a unified entity...one being. CC won so eat your crow pall; they also gave SH every opportunity in the beginning of the second half to win with several mistakes. CC is 6-2 bud.

Someone said earlier that it was a coach. I think maybe because that was just over the top to be posting things like that. JKar does take a few cheap shots, but for the most part he/she is a stand up poster. Peeblee, will I see you @ SH; this will be the first time up there for me since the 36-0 whipping of Liberty Bell. You were in the booth as I recall. thumb

You are right about that there will surely be NO BREAKS for the cougars up there...We played a bowl game up there in middle school and it was outrageous...I hope the Cougars play well enough that the refs won't matter.

Unless Sevier County had one I would say no, but I am not an expert on the history of the program by any means...hope I am wrong about that though.

Jkar, didn't Sevier County have a winning record? You are right about what I said, and I hope the Cougar faithfull are not blindly optimistic...or cocky...I think they are not, but there is a chance of it. This is the biggest game in school history for the Cougars; the monkey is off their backs because they are at least going to finish .500 now the challenge is not to be complacent. Peeblee you are going out on a limb there...wow...we can hope it ends up one sided in our favor though...God knows we have ended up on the wrong side of those lop-sided scores more than our share fo times. Go Cougars!! beat the Toppers!!! Go Redhounds!! beat the Lakers!!!

If Johnson runs as he has lately there will be no stopping him. I saw the Scott Co. game, and he was tough. Scott County had a pretty big line also, and they couldn't stop him. I say it will be a low scoring game that will have some hard hitting. Does anyone know if Memorial Stadium is considered school property; if not would it be illegal to tail-gate on the grounds if you have alcohol in the cooler?

He was from a small town in Ohio. We played Kenyon in Ohio last season, and I saw a commemorative marker that said he was from that town...can't recall the name of the town right off, but the college should make it easy to find.

I never said it was great to be a player at CCHS, in my day we endured some things no 15-18 year old kid should have to endure. I agree that this is the third "BIG TEST" for the Cougars (i.e. jeff co. & sevier co.) For Campbell County this is a great team...they play as a TEAM as I have said many times which is admirable when a lot of football team are centered on individuals today. I don't like your cheap shot on my leaving, and it doesn't warrant an explanation...but I will give one. As a Frosh. I made a commitment as did my whole class to a Coach Ken Kesselring; we said as long as you are commited to making us a winner we are commited to doing all it takes for four years to do it. Well along the way I became a college prospect, and anyone that knew me knows I worked harder than anyone to be the best and to elevate my team mates to new levels. The eighth game of the season I was injured which ended my season. During half time of that game I became aware that our "beloved" coach had struck a deal with Karns to come home to Knoxville and coach again. I was not only sickened by my injury, but also the betrayal. By November the rumor mill was going strong...I sat in the office at school and broke into tears with another player in a conference with the AD, Coach K, and the principal at the time to get an answer. Instead of coming out to the team he answered me and the other player...and told us if we wanted to undo all we had done we would not tell the rest of the team. He also told us to do what would be best for our future. I begged him to stay because I knew our class, the first in nearly a decade to stay together and have no transfers, would fall apart. So with a guilty conscience we kept our secret...both on crutches because our seasons had been cut short on the same night. We continued to hound Coach K until he said in late November that he would resign sometime closer to Spring. With a college career on the line I weighed my options I wanted to stay close to my home, but I could not bring myself to go to AC because I vowed not to go to a place that had caused CCHS to be in the doldrums for sometime as long as kids were going there. So I left my lifelong friends and went to Corbin. I kept in touch and went to their games on our off week, and on a week that we had a Saturday game. I never rooted against them, and was there for them after a very emotional Senior night with my friends...Devin included. So don't try to shame me for leaving...it is something I have to live with and do every time I see the orange and blue or one of my friends. I wish I had the chance to play for coach Wells. By the time he was hired I could not come back. I had already participated in KY track and field, and according to KHSAA a transfer must sit out one year before participating in athletics at the new school. This is the first time I have told the WHOLE story, and it is in the public eye to be seen...my closest friends knew all along what you ALL know now.

It surely is...Oh and JKar I have done nothing but hope for the best for CCHS as have all of the Cougar faithful for 30 years. It has just been hard to keep getting up for the coming season, be optimistic, and then be let down every year. Now the Cougar nation has not been let down, if anything this group has exceded expectations, and the support shows.

I said I jumped on the band-wagon. I endured a lot as a fan, then player, then a transfer away...which was the most difficult decision of my life and can not be changed. I am proud of the coaches & players for making a commitment to exellence and standing by it. I also commend the coaches for being resolute in their endeavors. They could have easily ran away from the challenge after winning only 5 games in 3 years, but they didn't. I have never been against the cougars...just cynical and sceptical due to my experiences with the pain and disappointment of optimism and commitment ending with 0,1, and then 2 win seasons and the desertion of a coach. Like I said earlier go Cougars...by 3...making history.
