 I'm surprised at the poor D both teams had to be honest.  Looked like  modern offense defended by a 1950 defense.

 

 I know Coach Price is CCHS DC, but, he needs to re think that, he's an offensive mind.  

Well if it lessor of the two evils on defense I would say CCHS was less. Not sure Clinton even has a defense, just being real because I expected so much from the dragon's. It's disappointing but its been going on for years. I thought this might be the year.

Wow! did you catch that pregame speech on Packervision?  R.E.S.P.E.C.T  gotta earn it.  Even harder to keep it.  once you're on top its even harder to stay there.

Clinton shouldn't hang their heads too much after that one. They still have a legitimate shot at the playoffs, assuming they take care of business against Lenoir City. It'll come down to the Karns game. I could see 100 combined points in that one. If Clinton were to beat Karns, we could definitely end up with a 3-way tie for those last two playoff spots in region 3. In that scenario, with overall wins being that first tiebreaker, I think the Cougars would be the odd man out (Clinton would be #3 and Karns #4).

A lot can happen between now and then, but let the speculating begin!

Head to head win is the first tie breaker

It is, but that goes out the window in a 3-team tie where the head-to-head between each team is 1-1. Overall wins becomes the next tiebreaker, which would bump CC out in this scenario. Then it would revert back to head-to-head, which would put Clinton at #3 and Karns at #4.

It looks like Coach X needs to work on his defense. The part that is frustrating to me is Clinton's defense looked better last year and has regressed this year. The offense is fun to watch, but I love to watch a stingy defense. 

I noticed our big offensive lineman #68 didn't play last night. I hope it isn't anything serious.

The Price twins,  One is OC, the other is DC.  Head coach is OC, he's in the press box.  Brother Matt is DC, he's on the sideline.

Biggest problem with Clinton's performance last night was their inability to adjust on defense. There seemed to be no adjustments on the defensive side of the ball. If something is not working, then you've got to switch something up. As a dragon fan, I'm really disappointed.

That was a good game last night. I did figure that Clinton would win that game but Campbell County was in the zone big time with that quarterback and his receivers. Clinton has nothing to hang their head down about because McKamey left that program in a mess.

The offense is good, but the defense is still a mess.  Yikes.  That game truly was whoever has it last wins.  Zero defense either team.  It was a thriller of a game to watch though.
