Some approached it clinically, sizing uptheir opponents with lightening determina-tion. Others focused more on self-promotion,psyching themselves up, pacing to keep theirenergy levels at peak.Stepping up to the table, they grasped handsand braced elbows. Some wrapped a leg
around a table leg for some extra stability. Afew moments of battling and an arm slammeddown meant a victor, and new challengersapproaching the stage.Despite the heat Saturday, Sept. 3, the com-petition was fast and furious at the 2011 stateArm Wrestling Championships at theGrayson County Fair. Competitors from fivestates – Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohioand Illinois – faced off for bragging rightsand trophies.
At 30 years, the Grayson County event isthe longest continuous arm wrestling tourna-ment east of the Mississippi River. And thisyear, top spots in the novice classes went totwo Grayson County men.Delbert Higgs of Clarkson took first place inthe novice open class. He said he’s liked armwrestling “since high school,” and becameinterested in competing because of his broth-

A TRIBUTE TO A WONDERFULHUSBAND AND FATHER,
PAUL NELSONMy precious Paul would have been 82 today, but four
months ago God saw fit to take him away.It has been so lonely �a few can relate�. But when youare married for 53 years your heart is so heavy you
can almost feel it break.To say all times were good is just not so. We had ourups and downs, and when you cross these hills and
valleys- that is what strenghthens your love.So I am blessed for the years we had, and even with ahole in my heart I would not change a thing and I�d
do it all over again.

er, Ken.He first entered the local competition acouple of years ago, and counts a win atthe Kentucky Muscle arm wrestling tour-nament in Louisville – a qualifying tour-nament for theArnold Classic – among hisvictories.He took first place in a left-handedwrestling category there, something hecorrectly predicted he wouldn’t doSaturday. “I’m stronger left-handed, butthe competition in that class is tougher,”he said. “There are some pros wrestling inthat today.”Brute strength isn’t key in arm wrestling,Higgs said. Rather, it’s technique and ten-don strength, knowing the right moves toapply to topple your opponent’s arm.Training, he said, can be a problem. Heand Ken face off, but Ken wrestles in alighter class.For Michael Gaither of Leitchfield, whotook top place in the 198 pound noviceclass, training is more of an informalprocess.“I don’t really train,” he said. “I morejust practice from messing around withpeople at work and other places. The bestpractice is just to do it.”
Gaither said he too has liked arm grap-pling since high school. He started com-peting on a whim about five years ago,and has twice taken third-place titles at thestate championships.Like Higgs, he said it’s a contest of ten-don strength and technique.Gaither said he hopes to wrestle in thepro classes next year. “I had decided Iwouldn’t try that unless I could finish firstin the novices,” he said.Winners in the 2011 state arm wrestlingchampionships included:
NOVICE CLASSES176 pounds: Dale Anderson, Evansville,Ind., first; Chris Burk, Louisville, second;Jonathon Brandenburg, Georgetown, Ky.,third.198 pounds: Michael Gaither,Leitchfield, first; Calvin Johnson,Caneyville, second; Rob Masters,Charlestown, Ind., third.Open: Delbert Higgs, Clarkson, first;Jeff Janes, Clarksville, Tenn., second;Chad Julian, Florence, Ky., third.Women’s: Brandi Randall, Georgetown,first; Jacinda McAtee, Sadieville, Ky.,second; Chelse Leonard, Richmond, Ind.,

Opinion
Guest Columnist:Gov. Steve Beshear
As Governor, I knowKentucky has so manybeautiful and memorablethings – many of them thatcan’t always be packaged orsummarized in a singleword or product.As a result, we sometimesfail as a state to take advan-tage of them as amenities inmarketing Kentucky as astimulating place to live, towork and play.But we’re going to changea little of that.With the help of theKentucky Arts Council, myadministration is establish-ing what’s called theKentucky Cultural DistrictsCertification program.This program will allowcommunities across thestate to apply for a formaldesignation.A cultural district is a wellrecognized, labeled area of
a community featuring ahigh concentration of cul-tural amenities and activi-ties that attract local resi-dents and visitors alike.The program can be effec-tively developed in smallrural areas, as well as largeurban communities – areasof all shapes and demo-graphics.In addition to being part ofa statewide branded pro-gram, designated communi-ties will receive focusedtraining and educationalopportunities.Obviously there will be abenefit in the arts and cul-tural sector as far as attract-ing visitors and tourist dol-lars.In other words, this is aneconomic development tooland the bottom line is thatwe will see a lot of tangiblebenefits from this program.The Kentucky ArtsCouncil is currently accept-ing applications, and I knowthat they can’t wait to getstarted.You can find out all of thedetails on the council’swebsite atartscouncil.ky.gov.We hope you will join usin this program to fostercivic pride across our greatCommonwealth.

Rebecca’s rambles...
It’s such a simple ques-tion: “Do you rememberwhat you were doing thatmorning?”For those of us abovethe age of about 15 or 16,that question about Sept.11, 2001, can bring backsome vivid memories.The News-Gazette isplanning special cover-age on Saturday markingthe tenth anniversary ofthe terrorist attacks.It will combine materi-als from our parent com-pany examining thenational impact of theevents of that day, andlocal interviews conduct-ed by fellow reporterBrittany Hatfield and me.Like a lot of people thatday, I watched the horrorsunfold on television. Atthe time, I worked as aneditor at a daily newspa-per in Moline, Ill.I worked nights, and
had been in bed just a fewhours when the telephonerang.I glanced at the CallerID, noted the call wasfrom my parent’s homehere in Kentucky, andsnarled into the receiversomething along the line“this had better be impor-tant.”My mom’s voice cutthrough the sleep fog,telling me to get up andturn on the television.“Sorry to wake you up,but you need to see this,”she kept saying.I stumbled into the liv-ing room, flipped on thetelevision and wasdragged into the unreali-ty. Like millions of peo-ple, I saw the live cover-age of United AirlinesFlight 175 crashing intothe south tower at theWorld Trade Center, andof that tower collapsingless than an hour later.The reports of the crashof American AirlinesFlight 77 into thePentagon added a person-alized level of horror towhat was going on: mynewspaper had aWashington, D.C.-basedstaffer and I had otherfriends in the media inthat area. It would take avery long couple of daysto learn that they all,
thankfully, were OK.At some point after thesouth tower’s collapse, Iremember calling myboss to see if I needed tocome in early.He was normally abrusque, very sarcasticguy, but that morning hewas strangely polite. No,he told me, stay homeand try to sleep – we’regoing to need you sharptonight. We’re putting outa special edition at 1p.m., and then we’ll dothe regular editiontonight.But who could sleepwhen it seemed the worldwas ending? I watchedthe continuing horroruntil I was numb, thenshowered, dressed andheaded into work hoursearly. It was an instinc-tive move – by learningwhat was going on andorganizing that informa-tion for our readers, I’dsomehow help myselfgrasp the enormity of ournational loss.I still remember theeerie silence that seemedto have descended overthe city. No car hornsblared or stereos boomedas I headed through traf-fic.I stopped to get gas, andwatched, shocked, asstrangers comforted a
woman who simply burstinto tears at one of thepumps.She assured us she wasOK – it was just, she said,the awfulness of it all.Even our newspaperoffice was strangelyquiet. Of course thephones were still ringingoff the hooks, but thenormally boisterousreporters were subdued.Customers coming inspoke to our receptionistsand circulation staff inpreternaturally low voic-es.We moved – co-workersand entire country –through that valley ofsilence and sorrow, offear and anger, of caringand compassion for whatseemed like an eternitybut was in reality just afew weeks. Like our par-ents and grandparentswho saw this nationthrough the attack atPearl Harbor, we werechanged. Our nationalinnocence, alreadystrained by the events atOklahoma City andWaco, was wiped away.And as the tenthanniversary of that awfulday approaches, we canonly hope that our chil-dren and grandchildrennever have to witnesssuch horrors.

What is in the well willeventually be drawn up inthe bucket.This practical reminderinstructs each individualin the marriage to investin their own future byputting things in the wellof their marriage whichthey may hope to pull outat a later time.Taking the time and pro-viding the energy to giveand invest in meeting theneeds of your spouse willpay off at a later time.It has been said that we
will reap what we sow.We will reap only afterwe sow.We should reap morethan we sow and we willalways reap later than wesow.If you desire a bettermarriage relationship
then it will requireexpending energy inorder to accomplish thatworthy goal.To make a marriage
work you must work atthe marriage. Of course itis better if both partieswork on the marriage.I am told that two mulesproperly harnessedtogether can pull morethan the total amountwhich the two could pullindividually.Despite whether yourmarriage partner is will-ing to pull their fair shareor work on making themarriage better at all youshould work to make itbetter.It can not hurt the mar-riage and you will defi-nitely benefit by creatinga better you.It may also allow God touse your effort to convictand encourage youspouse to get started inworking like you haveshown you have beenwilling to do.Lazy people expect oth-
ers to do their work forthem but a marriage like
the human body can notgrow unless it has propernutrition and exercise.A good marriage is notnormally accomplishedby lazy people.To expect different
results when you continueto do the same old thingsis a mark of stupidity.If you always do whatyou have always donethen you will always getwhat you have alreadygot.Read a book; go to amarriage conference; askmore experienced coupleswho you respect to men-tor you; or seek out acounselor who can pointout areas you need tochange and assist in yourprogress.Working on a marriage
can be fun, exciting andadd spark to the relation-ship. All living thingsgrow and change. It ismuch better to be greenand growing than ripe andbeginning to rotten.You should be congrat-
ulated if you read thesearticles.They are not a magic
wand but they can be astart to developing ahealthier home.Just as physical workwill cause you to sweatand invest time intoreaching a future goal soworking on the marriagewill need to include timeand energy, hopefullywith great success.Read: Proverbs 6:6;
30:25 & 2 Corinthians 9:6Pray: “God I don’t
expect to get somethingfor nothing from my mar-riage so help me work tomake it better.”With hope for a brighter
tomorrow for all of us anda better marriage for youI remain,Jerry Adamson, pastoralcounselor. www.shep-herdstaffcounseling.com.Now go to work on yourmarriage and make itwork!

What do we do about sin in ourlives and the lives of others? TheApostle John gives four sugges-tions to help us answer this ques-tion (1 John 5:16-21).John's first suggestion, "If anyonesees his brother committing a sin ...he shall ask God... (verse 16). Weneed to pray for ourselves and forothers. This is in agreement withwhat Paul says in Galatians 6:1-2,"... if anyone is caught in any tres-
pass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit ofgentleness .... Bear one another's burdens ...." For themost part we pray for them and leave the rest to God.James 5:16 says, "The earnest prayer of a righteous personhas great power and wonderful results."The second suggestion John makes in verse 18 is to trustGod to keep us safe from the world, the flesh and thedevil. How do we do this? We pray! Pray for ourselves.Pray for others. We pray and trust God for safety and pro-tection from evil. If we don't daily walk with God, com-mune with God, talk to God, how can we expect Him toprotect us and keep us safe?
John's third suggestion is to realize the world is under thecontrol of the evil one (1 John 5:19-20). The world is notthe created world, but the system opposed to God's pur-poses, the realm of sin organized against God, which iscontrolled by Satan. The atmosphere around us makes ithard to stay pure and keep our hearts true to God. Satanhas many devices for leading a believer into sin.To avoid sinning stay close to Christ. "Take the sword ofthe spirit which is the word of God" (Ephesians 6:17) andstay in the word of God. Don't play with sin for all sinopposes the law of God (1 John 3:4). Stay alert and be onguard (1 Thessalonians 5:5-7). 1 Peter 5:8 warns us to "Becareful -- watch out -- take a firm stand against."John's fourth suggestion in handling sin is to "keep your-selves from idols" (verse 21). An idol would be anythingthat might take God's place in your heart. Warren Weirsbein his commentary on verse 21 says, "Whatever controlsour lives and calls the signals is our god." Idols could beAmerica's biggest sin problem.What do we do about sin? John's suggestions might besummarized in these words: Pray for ourselves and oth-ers. Trust God to keep you safe. Watch out for the evilone.Avoid anything that would take God's place in your life.

An annual eye examshould not be one of thosethings people like to pro-crastinate about.So why fear an examina-
tion of the visual system?Some of the fear comesfrom having one’s eyeslooked into or manipulatedin normal procedures. But,in all honesty, that’s justwhat it is, fear. An eyeexam doesn’t hurt or evenbecome uncomfortable.Sure, a bright light is showninto the eye, but it is a non-threatening, non-UV lightand it only takes a few sec-onds. Another fear is eyedrops.
Dilation is part of the rou-tine eye exam for first-timeappointments or over theage of 40, or if previouspathology has been found.Remember, this is the
most accurate way to detecteye disease and is coveredas part of the eye exam.Thismeans there is no addi-tional fee associated withdilation like some so calleddilating-replacement pho-tos.Dilation is the standard of
care for diagnosis and treat-ment of most eye diseases,including glaucoma, macu-lar degeneration, diabeticeye disease, and retinadetachments. Newer dropshave come along to takeaway the sting and lessenthe time the eyes stay dilat-ed.The air puff, also called
non-contact tonometry orNCT, is not one of the itemsin the eye exam that peopleenjoy either. Newer NCTtechnology has made the airpuff quieter and softer. Thistype of eye pressure meas-urement is just for screeningpurposes, and eye diseasescan’t be accurately diag-nosed or followed based onthe findings.The refractive part of the
eye examsometimes causespatients to feel pressured bythe techniques used to gath-er information on prescrip-tion lenses.This is the old “better 1 or
2” part of the exam, thatpatient’s get nervous about.This test is subjective byrequiring patient attention,but it’s not that black andwhite. Computerized tech-nology hasmade this amul-tistep process making it lessdependent on the patient’sresponses to choice 1 orchoice 2. This is extremelyhelpful in pediatric patients,foreign-language patients,or patients with specialneeds that are unable torespond verbally to com-mands. Newer refractive
technology called automat-ed refraction equipment hasgone a step farther and less-ened the viewable differ-ences in choices therebyallowing for a more accu-rate eyeglass prescription.This is extremely advanta-geous when used withnewer lens technology thatprovides clearer vision in alldistances.From start to finish, the
eye exam should be inform-ative and enjoyable. Newtechnology has revolution-ized the once mundane taskof checking vision and ocu-lar health.

Business
Presented by StevenElder
Companies sponsoringgroup health plans should beaware of the changes com-ing to the health insuranceindustry as part of the “sec-ond stage” of health carereform. These major andminor adjustments should bekept on your radar. What’s new for 2012?
Insurers that issue grouphealth plans will have toabide by some new require-ments. Should plan benefits mate-
rially change, the plan issuerwill have to provide noticein writing at least 6o daysbeforehand to plan sponsorsand participants. Health care plan sum-
maries will have to meet
new formatting and contentguidelines for clarity, and inthe case of fully insuredplans, the plan issuer mustprovide electronic or hard-copy summaries at designat-ed times during the enroll-ment process. Group health plan partici-
pants could actually getrebates in 2012 under certainconditions. In 2011, insurershad to start notifying theDepartment of Health andHuman Services of theirmedical loss ratios – that is,the percentage of premiumsthat they spend on clinicalservices and efforts toimprove health care qualityas opposed to administrativeoverhead. The minimum medical
loss ratio is 80% for individ-ual and small group insurersand 85% for large groupinsurers. If a plan issuerdoesn’t meet this medicalloss ratio test for 2011, itmust issue rebates toenrollees beginning onAugust 1, 2012.What happens in 2013?
There are four importantchanges scheduled for 2013
that employers must recog-nize and publicize.
· Companies will have todisclose the value ofemployer-sponsored healthinsurance coverage toemployees on W-2 forms forthe 2013 tax year. (Big busi-nesses are already doingthis, but the IRS allowed agrace period for companieswith less than 250 W-2employees.) · Companies will also be
required to inform theirworkers about health careinsurance exchanges, healthcare premium subsidies andfree choice vouchers.· There will be a $2,500
cap placed on annual flexi-ble spending account (FSA)contributions, with COLAsin future years.· Either the plan issuer or
the plan sponsor must pay anannual per-member fee tothe Patient-CenteredOutcomes Research Institutefor fiscal year 2013 (whichstarts October 1, 2012) andsubsequent fiscal years. Thisannual fee equals $1 x thenumber of covered lives; infiscal year 2014, it will dou-
ble to $2 per covered life.What is scheduled to hap-
pen in 2014? The secondstage of health care reformwraps up with a flourish inthis year, with 10 significantchanges. By this time, awhole new health insurancemarket is supposed to be inplace and businesses willstep into the “new world” ofhealth care insurance.
· In 2014, firms with 50 ormore employees will berequired to offer a minimumlevel of health care coverageto active employees. Sowhat exactly is minimumcoverage? The federal gov-ernment defines it using twocriteria: the health plan cho-sen has to cover at least 60%of covered health care costs,and the plan can’t cost aworker more than 9.5% ofhis or her household income.· If firms with 50 or more
employees can’t meet thistest, they will pay a penaltyof $2,000-3,000 per employ-ee. (Some companies mayelect to do this.) · New reporting require-
ments start for businesses.Employers will annually
have to inform the IRS ifthey are offering minimumhealth care coverage or not,the duration of any waitingperiod, the number of FTEsper month covered and theirnames, addresses and tax-payer ID #s. They will alsohave to report the monthlypremium for the cheapestcoverage option in eachenrollment category and theemployer’s percentage ofthe total allowed cost of ben-efits under the plan.· Your company might be
eligible for the SmallBusiness Health Care TaxCredit if a) it employs 25 orfewer FTEs (apart fromowners or family members)whose annual wages are$50,000 or less and b) youpay 50% or more of thehealth care coverage for sin-gle workers.· Also, the wellness pro-
gram incentives cap risesfrom 20% to 30%, so here’sanother reason to encourageyour workers to participatein wellness program (and toseek federal grant fundingfor said programs).· Businesses with 200+
employees will be asked toautomatically enroll all FTEand PTE into group healthplans. (Employees may optout.)· As state health insurance
exchanges are supposed tobe up and running, you mustprovide a free choice vouch-er to qualifying employeesin 2014.· Employers cannot make
employees wait more than90 days for health insurancecoverage in 2014, and non-grandfathered plans mustalso provide coverage forclinical trials related to life-threatening illnesses.· The retiree reinsurance
program reimbursing firmsfor up to 80% of qualifyingretiree medical expenseswill be gone in 2014 (andmaybe before then if itsfunding runs out).Prepare yourself – and
your business. You, youremployees and whoeverhandles your payroll willhave much to keep up within the near future. So confer periodically with
your group health planadviser to stay up to speed.
Health Care Reform- The Next Three YearsA look at the changes coming in 2012, 2013 & 2014
Degenerative Disc Disease: A Common Cause of Low Back Pain
Degenerative disc disease(DDD) is not actually a dis-ease. DDD often describesthe aging process of thediscs of the back or neck. The discs are plates of
compressible cartilage thatseparate the bones of theback to allow movement inthe back. Over time, thesediscs begin to break downand begin to tear and crack
in the outer portion of thediscs. This allows the soft-er inner portion to movethrough these tears andchange shape. As we age,the discs also lose fluid andbecome less flexible andmore likely to undergothese degenerative changeswith movement. As thedisc loses fluid, it maybegin to become thinner.This makes the spacebetween the vertebraesmaller. This, in turn, cancause increased pressureon the nerves that comefrom the spine and go outinto our body. As the discsdeteriorate, they becomeless stable and less able toabsorb force. The bodyreacts to this instability bycreating additional bonegrowth called bone spurs.These spurs can be an addi-
tional point of nerveimpingement. As the softerportion is pushed throughthe outer portion of thedisc, it may cause a bulgeor progress to a herniation.Disc bulges are quite com-mon, even in asympto-matic individuals andshould not be a cause foralarm. They will typicallynot cause problems unlessthey are impinging a nerve.Many people with DDD
have no symptoms. DDD can cause pain in
the area of the disc butcommonly causes pain inthe arm or leg, in the areacorresponding to the affect-ed nerve. In more involvedcases, muscle strengthand/or reflexes may beaffected. There may also be numb-
ness and tingling in the
affected area. Sitting, bending, and lift-
ing typically make symp-toms worse. The affectedperson may find it morecomfortable to stand or liedown to take pressure offof the disc. Symptoms maylast a few days and then goaway. They often will return at a
later date. In more severecases, bowel and bladderfunction may be affected. Most people will exhibit
some disc degeneration atsome point in their life.However, there are a num-ber of risk factors that willmake these changes occurmore early in life or too agreater degree. Smoking makes the discs
more brittle and likely tocrack. Smoking alsodecreases the blood flow tothe discs. Excessive bend-ing places repetitive com-
pression on the front of thedisc and repetitive stretchon the back of the disc,which is where a bulge orherniation is most likely. Excessive sitting places
the back in a bent position,which make disc problemscommon in people who sitat a desk or who drive forlong periods of time. Heavy physical work,
such as repeated heavy lift-ing, is also a risk factor.Obesity and inactivity arealso risk factors. Many people believe that
the term degenerationimplies that the condition isprogressive and the per-son’s condition will contin-ue to deteriorate. This doesnot have to be the case.Like many parts of ourbody, the discs can becomehealthier, even though theyhave had some degenera-tive changes.
To do this, one wouldhave to become active inmaking the disc healthier. Reducing the amount of
lifting or, more important-ly, placing the back in asafe position while lifting,will reduce the stress on thedisc. Treatment for DDD
includes heat or ice for painand muscle spasm. Anti-inflammatory drugs maybe recommended by yourphysician. Physical therapy is effec-
tive in reducing pain andmuscle spasm. Your physi-cal therapist will use exer-cise to improve backstrength, flexibility, andposture. If conservativetreatment fails, surgery issometimes recommendedto remove the damagedportion of the disc or tofuse the spine and decreasemovement at the segment.

the state, he’s been struckby how concernedKentuckians are about“their jobs, their housepayments, their families.“The lack of well-payingjobs is the biggest problemfacing our state,” Williamssaid.If elected, he said he’d tryto counter those problemswith an agenda “for thefuture,” focusing on jobcreation, tax reform, andrevamping the public pen-sion system.A key to his agendawould be eliminating per-sonal and business taxes inKentucky. He points toTennessee as an exampleof the boost that couldbring to the state. His planwould replace the lost rev-enue with a revamped salestax, called a “consumptiontax.”“Sixty percent of newjobs in America have beencreated in the states with-out income taxes,” he said. Tennessee, he noted, hasthe economic developmentcapital and programs tohelp lure businessesalready attracted to itbecause of its tax code.The difference is apparentin border communities likeFort Campbell, where mostof the new housing devel-opment is in Tennessee,Williams said.
Not surprisingly, heplaces a lot of the blamefor Kentucky’s currentdevelopment woes on hisDemocratic opponent,incumbent Steve Beshear.He said Beshear has prom-ised a lot of initiatives andprojects but has failed todeliver on most.“You can tell what peoplewill do in the future bywhat they have done in thepast,” he said.Beshear has counteredWilliams’ claims by point-ing toward 2009’sIncentives for a NewKentucky, modernizedeconomic incentivesdesigned to make the statemore business friendly.Since then, he has said,he’s helped bring projectscreating or saving nearly19,500 jobs to Kentucky,When asked about hisown past history as Senatepresident, Williams point-ed to his efforts to stop $1billion in higher, to cutincome and business taxes,to boost adult literacyrates, to eliminate theC o m m o n w e a l t h
Accountability TestingSystem for school chil-dren, to support anti-abor-tion legislation, and to sup-port gun ownership rights.“The bottom line, “ hesaid, “is that I’ve done allthose things over the last10 years as leader of theSenate. Government is athree-legged stool – youneed to bring together theSenate, the House and theadministration to addressproblems. I’ve broughtpeople together. “

In a Tobacco Bowl gamethat will be rememberedon both sides for a longtime to come, the GraysonCounty Cougars came upa point short in overtimeas Edmonson Countyreclaimed the TobaccoStick 27-26.The Cougars had thechance to win the game inregulation, but a missedextra point allowed theWildcats to come backand tie the game with asuccessful two-point con-version following a touch-down.The Cougars then scoreda touchdown in their firstpossession in overtime,but another missed con-version cost then dearly asthe Wildcats respondedwith a touchdown of theirown and a successful kickto grab the win from a dis-heartened Cougar squad.The Wildcats got on theboard first, taking theopening kickoff and mov-ing 71 yards in 12 plays totake the lead. The big playfor the Wildcats was athird-and-nine conversionwhen quarterback JoshMilam connected withreceiver Tyler Miller for20 yards and a first down.On first-and-goal frominside the one, Milam kepton a quarterback sneak tomake it into the end zone.Benton Allen missed theextra-point, but with 5:24left in the first period, theWildcats led 6-0.Grayson Countyanswered with a longdrive of their own to takea lead, moving 69 yards innine plays. The Cougars
were aided during thedrive with a Wildcatpenalty on a third-and-7play that gave them aneasier third-down conver-sion. Ethan Hinson scoredfrom eight yards out, thefirst of three touchdownsfor the junior slot back,and with just 38 secondsleft in the opening period,the Cougars led 7-6.The Cougar defenseforced a three-and-out andthe Wildcats punted.Grayson County took overat their own 32 at the10:16 mark of the secondquarter and moved fromthere to increase theirlead. The Cougars had toovercome a couple majorpenalties on the drive, butwere helped by a late hitout of bounds by theWildcats. Hinson again
scored, this time fromeight yards out, andDustin Crain supplied theextra point and with 6:23remaining in the first half,the Cougars led 14-6.On the ensuing kickoff,senior Matt Caudill gavethe Wildcats excellentstarting position as hereturned the kick 28 yards,to the Cougar 47. Fromthere, the Wildcats took 10plays to score their secondTD.
