The 9-1 Warren Central Dragons host the 3-6 Hopkinsville Tigers in a 2/3 matchup of the 5A playoffs. For Hopkinsville, it is their first playoff appearance since 2009 after suffering through a long winless streak that was snapped earlier this year. The Dragons have appeared in back to back region title games, losing both. As far as this season, the Tigers enter having lost their last two in contrast to Warren Central who won their last two after their lone setback to Bowling Green.

 

The two teams share two common opponents on the year in Greenwood and Fort Campbell. Hopkinsville lost 45-17 to Greenwood at Trigg County and fell 57-35 to Fort Campbell at home. The Dragons knocked off Greenwood on the road 36-0 and gained a running clock at Fort Campbell 58-13. Everything points to a lopsided game.

 

Though it looks like Warren Central will get the best of it this year, their series with Hopkinsville has been lopsided in the wrong direction. The Tigers lead the series 11-1, including 2-1 in the playoffs. Hopkinsville has won the last five by an average of 18 PPG, including an embarrassing playoff loss for Central in the 2002 second round at home where they gained only a single first down and a net of zero yards.

35-14 WC

Warren Central rolls 60-12. Hoptown is the kind of team the Dragons offense will feast on.

Warren Central 55-6.

This may be the most lopsided scores after BG in their first game of the 5A playoffs this year.

53-6 WC

Don't see this game being close at all.

Just glad to see Hopkinsville back in the playoffs and also showing some improvement on the field. WC will not have a problem here, but the Tigers are working their way back and am looking for them to have a winning season next year.
