GAME OF THE WEEK Letcher Co. Central (Ky.) at Central Warriors: How good has the Central Warriors defense been? I’ll tell you how good — the Warriors have allowed just six points in eight quarters this season. Coach Luke Owens’ crew will need to be clicking on all cylinders to knock off a Letcher Cougars squad that squeaked out a 44-43 win when these two met in the Bluegrass state last year. Letcher has former Pound Wildcat Luke Logan on its staff, so expect the old Wildcat to have a little extra information on the Warriors. Many Central Warrior followers thought their team got a few unfa- vorable calls in last year’s meeting, so revenge might be on their mind.

ROSE RIDGE — The J.I. Burton Lady Raiders (2-1) traveled to Ridgeview and claimed a 3-0 sweep of the Lady Wolfpack (0-2) in a nonconference matchup. The three sets went Burton’s way at 24-14, 25-23, 25-21. The Lady Raiders took control of the first set early on the frontline play of Cheyenne Shepherd, Colleen Gilliam and Sarah Mullins, cruising to a relatively easy 24-14 set win in the Tuesday, Aug. 30, matchup. The next two sets were quite different. The Lady Wolfpack made adjustments in their play and battled hard. Both sets were characterized by short two- and three-point runs by both squads, keeping the scoring close or tied throughout. Set two saw Ridgeview jump out to a quick three- point lead on the serves of Ashton O’Quinn. Burton responded with strong net play by Shepherd and Mullins to tie the score at 12-12. Ridgeview’s libero, Jade Fields, started another run to expand the Lady Woldpack lead to 17-14 but the Lady Raiders fought back to tie at 17-17. Both teams traded points over the next few minutes and the score was tied again at 20-20 and 21-21. The Lady Raiders pulled ahead late and claimed the 25-23 victory. The third set was much like the second. The Lady Wolfpack started strong behind the play of Kenzie Fleming, Kristen Bostic, Sarah Adkins and Jade Fields. The Lady Raiders finally took the lead at 15-14 on a kill by Mullins but Ridgeview again responded. The Lady Raiders broke a 17-17 tie on a Shepherd kill and held on for a 25-21 win, completing the sweep. A few mistakes plagued Ridgeview all match.

Spartans’ drop home opener to Hurley despite strong start BY LLOYD COMBS ★ SPORTS WRITER

COEBURN — Eastside responded well to a second straight physical opponent. It did not have an answer, however, for Hurley’s Brady Justice and Devin Tester. Those two accounted for all of Hurley’s scoring and most of its yardage as the Rebels handed the Spartans a 36-18 setback in nonconference play Friday night at Carl McConnell Stadium. Justice ran for 227 yards and scored four touchdowns and Tester added 141 yards, a TD and a pair of two-point conversion runs to offset a 201-yard, three-TD effort from Spartans’ QB Tyler Elam. Elam scored on touchdown runs of 85, 2 and 51 yards, respectively. His first two scores gave Eastside an early advantage in its home opener. “When (Elam) gets started off, good things go really good for us,” first-year Eastside coach Jason Hicks said. “I was really, really pleased with our effort from the start.” Elam’s first TD came two plays into his club’s first possession and it staked the Spartans to a 6-0 lead. His second score put the Spartans in front 14-8 with 9:17 remaining in the second period. After that Hurley, the second big physical team the Spartans faced in as many weeks, scored 28 unanswered points. The bigger Rebels seemed to gradually wear Eastside down in the second half. “Hurley is a very good football team and definitely a PHOTO BY SHONNA PETERS physical football team,” Hicks added. “I think they wore us down. I challenged our kids to be more physical and Eastside’s Tyler Elam breaks free for big yardage Friday against Hurley. we came out more physical than we were last week. “We have some kids that try to play iron man, they have to play a lot of snaps.

You can’t do that. You can’t script it.” Union head coach Travis Turner said he saw his young team was tested all game. “I thought the kids played hard. I thought we grew up a lot tonight. We’ve got some young ones out there playing,” Turner said. The Bears (1-1) built a 21-7 lead late in the fourth quarter and looked to be in command. Congratulations “I thought we had a chance to put it away, but we just couldn’t,” Turner said. The Blue Tornado’s passing attack that had struggled much of the game came to life in the crunch. “We went empty and MAYO kind of caught them on the ropes,” Mance said. The connection of John-Luke Asbury to Scottie Ball was responsi- ble for Richlands’ two fourth-quarter touch- downs. Ball hauled in his second touchdown from Asbury with 0:05 left in the game. Levi Forrest’s CLINIC extra-point kick tied the score, 21-21. Richlands (2-0) got the ball first in overtime. On third-and-goal from the 12, Asbury found Ball in the end zone again. The extra point gave Richlands ranked a 28-21 lead. The Bears answered on their ensuing possession as Bailey Turner found Braxton Collins for the touchdown. The Bears #1 Hospital in the Nation lined up for the extra-point try. But decided to try a lit- tle trickery. Quarterback Turner took the snap and rolled by U.S. News & World Report out wide. He tried to turn the corner, but the Richlands’ defense sniffed out the play and came up with the big stop. “I thought we had the #1 Hospital in 8 Specialties second option there on the fake, but it was a great call, a great defensive play by their guys. They ran us Diabetes and Endocrinology down,” Travis Turner said. “I thought both teams played hard. It was a great game. We took a shot at it, Gastroenterology and GI Surgery but didn’t get it. Maybe next time.” The Bears started the     game trailing early. An Asbury TD pass to Cody Howie early in the      first quarter put Richlands up 7-0. Asbury finished the night 21-for-38 for 231 yards.   
 Union then came back with two touchdowns in the second quarter. A 10- yard run by James Mitchell 1:34 into the period tied the game. A 2016-2017 Honor Roll one-yard run by Cameron Fannon with 2:29 left in the half gave Union a 13-7 lead. Fannon led the Union rushing attack with 78 yards on 19 carries.

breakaways. Skylar Large, another junior on this relatively young Warriors team, was also impressive in his debut at run- ning back. Large got the nod to start on Friday after star fullback Jarrett Jessee suffered a groin injury during practice earlier in the week. Jessee is listed as day-to-day for returning to the lineup. Ridgeview’s defense also looked tough early on. With Central threatening at fourth and goal from the Wolfpack seven yard line, Wolfpack senior linebacker Dempsey Hill delivered the hit of the night when he flattened a pass receiver to end the Warrior drive at the 2. Wolfpack Stadium rumbled like a train as the home crowd stomped feet en masse on the metal stands after that thrilling play. Wolfpack senior linebacker Dempsey Hill, junior defensive end Rick Flemings and senior Connor O’Quinn at linebacker made several impressive tackles. Outside linebacker McKenzie Sproles was pretty much everywhere. Gabe Counts, the sopho- more in the Ridgeview secondary, intercepted a pass for a nice runback in the game. But Central’s offense would show some fireworks of its own. On the Warriors’ third possession of the game, quarterback Mullins swept right and cut back into the left corner on the end zone on a 38-yard scamper. Junior Anthony Aslin’s point-after kick made the score 9-0 at halftime. The second half started with the Warriors needing another score for breathing room and the Wolfpack hungry to create positive offensive momentum. Ridgeview showed some spark behind strong carries of five to 10 yards by sophomore running back Sproles, senior wingback Dawson Kendrick and junior quarterback Jacob Yates. Jacob Hensley, the sophomore wing- back, and junior Cameron Carroll also grabbed spirals from Yates for good yardage. Yates has a rocket arm and appears to The Wolfpack’s Jacob Hensley (4) dives for a reception as Central’s Dalton be one of the area’s best passers. Mullins (15) attempts to break up the pass in last Friday’s clash against the But eventually it was Central that again scored first. The Warriors. Mullins-Large combination was difficult to stop. Mullins oper- ated the read option to perfection, either pulling the ball free to dart away catlike on long gains or handing off to Large who then slashed through the Wolfpack defense for drive-sustaining first downs. Large had a run of 25 yards, and Shupe at wide receiver raced 39 yards with a nice Mullins pass on another big play. At 5:21 of the third quarter, Large shot off-tackle on a 13- yard scoring run. His first touchdown of the season made it 16- 0 Central. Relentlesss defensive pressure from Central continued to keep Ridgeview’s offensive from getting in gear. Classic stops to thwart drives came from the Warriors sophomore defensive tackle Isaiah Reynolds, senior tackle Ryan Collins, senior defensive end Bryson Partin, McGraw at linebacker, Aslin at tackle, Stidham, and Mullins as a quick-charging free safety. A beautiful punt by senior Harold Osborne also made things diffi- cult for Ridgeview. The Wolfpack refused to give in, however. Yates then marched his team virtually the entire length of the field. Ridgeview’s only score came on a 14-yard reception by Hensley that cut the deficit to 16-6 with 9:46 left in the game. “I thought our kids played hard to the end,” Wolfpack coach Mullins said. “This bunch is not ever going to quit. That will pay off down the road. We are going to get better.” Even so, Central’s Mullins is just hard to stop. After the ensuing kickoff, on the very next play from scrimmage, the speedy Warrior quarterback blasted through the middle of the Wolfpack defensive line on a 49-yard TD run to end the scoring at 23-6. “I feel like that for a young team we finished the ball game tonight, and in an away game,” signal caller Mullins said. “When they scored in the third quarter, we stepped it up.” Mullins had 165 yards rushing on 26 carries with his two TDs in the game.
