Raiders drop to 0-8 with loss to Walton-Verona Bearcats 48-16
The Trimble County High School Football Raiders traveled
north last Friday night to take on the Walton Verona Bearcats. The 0-7 Raiders
were looking for their first win of the season and the Bearcats were hoping to
improve on their season record of 6-2. The Bearcats suffered a 23-19 loss to
Gallatin County the previous week, while the Raiders fell to Owen County 19-6.
The Raiders
offense took the field first with T.J. Payton and Tevin Taylor sharing
quarterback responsibilities. Just after last week’s loss to Owen County Coach
Franklin said there was not much confidence in the passing game because of
injuries. In a dramatic turn around, his game plan for the Bearcats would be to
put the ball in the air. The offensive line stood their ground to protect their
quarterbacks. Unfortunately, they were only able to complete 23% of their pass
attempts, collectively. One notable
catch came late in the first quarter when Payton tossed the ball to Taylor who
threw the ball deep to Chaylen Sedam. Sedam took the ball to the eight-yard
line, making it a 72-yard completion and run. Regrettably, the Raiders were unable to finish
that drive and turned the ball over on downs to the Bearcats.
The Bearcats
scored 48 points before the Raiders could respond. Near the middle of the third
quarter, the Raiders put together a seven-minute drive that would culminate in
a touchdown. On third and seven, Taylor completed a pass to Payton for the 20-yard
touchdown and later the same pair connected to score the extra points after the
touchdown. With 38 seconds left in the third quarter, the Raiders were down
48-8, but showed no signs of retreat.
On the next
Bearcats drive, it was clear that the Raiders offense had inspired their
defense to start tackling better, which allowed the offense to get back on the
field for one last score. Trimble County’s Bo Hawkes scored the final touchdown
and extra points for the Raiders. Despite their valiant second half effort, the
Raiders closed out the game losing 48-16.
The Raiders (0-8)
will be playing in Carroll County this week against the Panthers (3-5). Carroll County is coming into the game
following a 48-7 victory over Owen County last Friday. The game between the
Raiders and Panthers is set to begin at 7:30PM in Carrollton at the Carroll
County High School Football stadium. It looks to be a cold night for football
so bring your stadium blankets and extra clothes to come out and support the
Raiders as they look for their first win of the season.

TCMS Football Finishes with a 4-4 Record
The Trimble County Middle School Football
Raiders were 4-2 when the Owen County Rebels came into Bedford Thursday,
September 26. The Rebels delivered what would be the knockout punch to the
Raiders when they returned the opening kick for a touchdown. Although, the
Raiders showed signs of the fortitude that earned them a team record of 4-2,
they played like a bunch of whipped pups as they went on to lose 38-0.
Just five days later, Tuesday, October 1,
the Warriors from Eminence came into town on a mission to beat the Raiders. The
Raiders kicked off to the Warriors to open the game, but the Raiders were certain
not to start the game like the last one and shut down the return after a
minimal gain. On the Warriors first offensive play from scrimmage, their
Quarterback dropped back, to launch a perfect pass to the Wide Receiver that he
was able to run for a 60-yard touchdown. The Raiders were deflated only 17
seconds into the game but their pride would not allow them to give up another
shut out at home. Late in the second quarter and being down 14-0, the Raiders
marched all the way to the Warriors ten-yard line before the Warriors intercepted
a pass and returned it for a 90-yard touchdown. The end of the first half score
was 20-0 in favor of the Warriors.
At
halftime, the Trimble County Youth Tackle Football League players and coaches
were introduced to the community. President of the league, Daniel Cull said the
enthusiasm for football among parents and players in the county continues to
grow every year. Cull is in his fourth year presiding over the league and has
seen a steady increase in players every year since he became president of the
league.
Back to the game, The Warriors piled on
another 16 unanswered points by the beginning of the fourth quarter. Down 36-0,
the Raiders offense had one more shot to get on the scoreboard before the end
of the season. Raiders head coach Mike Isley put together one last group of
plays for the team to have a chance to score. The offensive line dug in their
heels to protect Quarterback Cole Wright long enough for him to hurl the
pigskin to Nick McCutchen who ran for a 40-yard Raider touchdown. Stevie
Swanger scored the 2-point conversion, but the Raiders ran out of time to make
a comeback and went on to lose 36-8.
Now the offseason begins. Raiders Coach
Mike Isley along with assistants Joe Perkinson and Harold Crawford can rest on
the reality that their team finished at .500 and something to build on next
season.

Trimble County Board of Education Meets September 18, 2013
The Trimble County Board of Education met for its regularly scheduled
meeting last Wednesday in the school’s administration building. Robert Arvin,
an accountant with the Ohio Valley Educational Cooperative Financial Services,
introduced the final budget to board members to approve for the 2013-’14 school
year. He explained the changes from the projected budget back in the spring
were due to a decrease in the average daily attendance, which total around a
1.4 million dollar shortfall. Arvin continued
that there was an increase in funds in the general account totally almost a
million dollars and that would be helpful. The annual budget for Trimble County
Schools is around 12.6 million dollars.
After board members voted unanimously to approve the budget, the
conversation about student attendance took place. High School Principal Rachael
Adams instructed board members that attendance at her school continues to be a
problem. She added that she and many members of her staff and students have
been trying to come up with solutions to help her students avoid multiple
absences. Adams said there are many different reasons why high school students
are missing school.
“Some students,” Adams said, “are missing
school because they are needed at home to care for a sick parent or
grandparent. “
Board members exchanged ideas about ways
to reward students for not missing school and agreed that this would be a
priority for them to tackle.
