TWO DAYS AWAY: “The best offensive line and the best defensive line is going to win the football game.”

The clock is ticking down to Friday’s Class 4A state title match between Corbin, and Boyle County, and coach Tom Greer’s Redhounds are ready for the game to kick-off.
The Redhounds are sitting pretty at 14-0 while Justin Haddix’ Rebels at 12-2, and it’s business as usual for Greer and his team.
“This week we are going to out and play for 48 minutes, and four quarters — see what happens,” Greer said. It’s been 40 years since Corbin has won a state championship. In ‘77, ‘90, ‘03, ‘17, and ‘18 — those were all runner-up teams. 
Is the ‘22 class, are they different,” he added. “Are they going to step up, and make the plays, and do what it takes to win this ballgame? I know one thing, the Redhounds will play hard Friday night. There is a lot that goes in to winning a state championship other than just showing up and be ready to play. You gotta make things happen.”
The matchup has had plenty of storylines already the media due to Haddix having coached Corbin a few years back, but Greer is too focused on the game at hand to talk about what many are saying is meaningless. 
“This is about the Corbin Redhounds and the Boyle County Rebels, and nothing really more,” Greer said. “It’s going to be a 48 minute football game, and that’s what it is.”
“Really our keys haven’t changed from Week One,” he added. “We’ve got to be physical, and we’ve got to execute our game plan. And our guys have got to make plays. We’ve got to have players make plays when the opportunity arrives. And really, what we’ve done the past 14 weeks, we’ve got to continue for one more week.”
When it comes down to it, Greer feels the game will be decided in the trenches. 
“The best offensive line and the best defensive line is going to win the football game,” Greer said “Boyle County and Corbin are blessed with really good skill players, but it’s going to be won in the trenches. 
“We’ve been pretty solid with offensive line and defensive line, this one will not be any different. Whoever has the best offensive line, and defensive line will win the football game.”
