Henderson County has proven that it can move the ball on anybody this year (Evansville Reitz, Christian Co, Bowling Green (albeit a quarter and a half), Meade County) I do not see Eastern being able to handle the Colonels ball control offense. The key to a HC victory is to win the turnover battle and keep the Eastern offense off the field. I believe the winner of this game makes it to the state finals in Bowling Green.

flapper, first it's nice to have another Hendo fan on here. Second, I totally agree that for Henderson to win this one they cannot put the ball on the ground. If they can slow the game down and make long sustained scoring drives they can win this. If they have too many 3 and outs or a couple of turnovers putting their defense in bad spots they could be in trouble. Their offense just isn't designed to play from behind.

Henderson Co. 34-27.
