This is a very intriguing game, for several reasons:

 

This counts as a district game for NC, because of the unique draw the KHSAA came up with so as to avoid all the schedule-shuffling they had when Shelby and Collins split.

 

What did Bardstown learn from Marion County's failed method of attacking NC QB Dylan Beasley, who had a record-breaking night against the Knights' blitz-heavy package?

 

How have the Tigers used the early bye week following the blowout of Bethlehem? Specifically, how has soph QB Keano Young advanced during that time?

 

Oh yeah, it's a rivalry game, and will be the best-attended game of the year in the area --bragging rights on the line as well. Should be entertaining.

Knew it was a big rival game. Thoes are always good ones to watch.

Nelson Co. 41-35.

Just adding to the stew in this game has been the attention that has come in from media outside of the Bardstown area because of Beasley's record-breaking night last time out.

Nelson County has more talent than they've ever had, it just so happens to be on the offensive side of the ball. No Defense. I gotta give the edge to Bardstown 56-42

Nelson Co. by 6

Bardstown usually has very good tackling defensive backs. Nelson got a lot of yards against Marion by shedding tackles on short routes. Don't see that happening tonight. I agree that it is an intriguing matchup.

Really think they have more talent than the 1996 State Champions?

 

I agree that this is the best team they have had in years, but not the most talent ever.

 

NC wins by 3 scores.

Bazinga, according to the locals, they say "yes, hands down" more talented than any of the 90's teams.
