  Speaker 1: crossings as riders make their way through the Redbird area.

• 13:22
  Speaker 1: at the Peabody Trailhead, with riders heading onto Kentucky 66
• 13:29

• 13:40
  Speaker 1: from the river bottoms to the ridge before following a
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: gravel road toward the top of Trace Branch. The summit
• 13:49

• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the ridge and begin a roughly 4-mile descent into a

• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Bird Crest Trail and begin another long, steady climb back
• 14:24

• 14:41
  Speaker 1: station at approximately mile 25. After turning onto Gilbert's Creek Road,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: competitors will face another long climb, one that could prove
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: considerably more difficult after 25 miles of demanding mountain trails.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Reaching the summit will mark the final major climb, but
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the challenges won't be over. The ridge becomes rougher, with
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: rock gardens posing a threat to tires and equipment. Riders
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: will reach the final support station near Sugar Creek at
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: approximately mile 32, with about 10 miles remaining. The final
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: stretch includes some of the course's smoother and faster trail
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: before riders begin a steep descent toward Peabody and the
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: finish line. Organizers warn that the last descent is rocky, steep,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and rough, making bike control especially important after hours of racing.
• 15:47

• 16:33
  Speaker 1: momentum behind them after picking up back-to-back road victories, including
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: last week's dominant 46-0 win over Clinton County. For a
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: young Clay County team that has been forced to learn
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: on the road early this season, coach Mike Sizemore is
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: excited to see his group finally get the opportunity to
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: play in front of the home crowd. Quote, It's always
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: great to play at home, and I know our guys
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: are excited to have that first home opener, unquote. Sizemore said, quote,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: For a lot of our team this year, this will
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: be their first significant varsity experience in front of our
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: home crowd and playing on our field, so I know
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: they will be excited to get out there and play, unquote.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: The Tigers have handled the early travel well, and Sizemore
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: believes those weeks have away from home have helped a
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: young group gain valuable experience. Quote, they've done a great
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: job of battling the adversity of the early season travel
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: and have withstood those challenges that come with being on
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: the road. Unquote, Sizemore said. Rowan County will provide another
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: test for the Tigers. Clay County defeated the Vikings on
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: the road last season. But Sizemore saw a young Rowan
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: County team at the time that he expected to be
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: much improved this year. Quote, Rowan has a very talented
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: team and will bring a lot of challenges to the
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: game for us. Unquote. Sizemore said, quote, we were able
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: to beat them at their place last season, but you
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: could see they had several young players that would grow
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: up over the offseason, and be a better team coming
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: into this season. And that's been the case, unquote. Sizemore
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: noted Rowan County's speed offensively as something the Tiger defense
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: will have to be prepared for. On the other side
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: of the football, Vikings have shown the ability to force
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: turnovers and take advantage of mistakes. Clay County will look
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: to counter that by taking care of the football. and
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: continuing to play the efficient style that has helped the
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Tigers find success over the past two weeks. With two
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: straight wins now behind them, Sizemore wants to make sure
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: his young group remains hungry and continues to improve rather
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: than becoming satisfied with his recent success. Quote, we have
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: to keep the main thing, the main thing, unquote, Sizemore said,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: We have to continue working extremely hard this week in practice.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: We have to see if we can keep getting more
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: physical on the field and finding the right combination of
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: kids that add to the level of effort and intensity
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: that we want from them, unquote. After weeks of waiting,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the Tigers will finally get the chance to bring that
• 19:42
