Series History: Warren Central Leads 17-3

Series at Warren Central: Warren Central leads 8-1

 

This is a game that will most likely decide the #2 seed in the district for 2013. Greenwood's philosophy coming into the year was to catch Bowling Green they must first catch Warren Central, and the Dragons certainly don't want to be caught from behind in their own pursuit of the Purples. Warren Central has won 4 straight and 12 of 13 against the Gators. They have also won the last 6 meetings at Joe Hood Field dating back to the sole Gator victory, a 35-21 game in 1995. The last three games overall the Dragons have taken by an average score of 31.7-2, and they have never scored less than 20 points against Greenwood at home. Meanwhile the Gators have only twice scored above that threshold at Warren Central. The Gators are hoping that one of the positive historical facts holds true, in that the last time Warren Central entered the game with a losing record was the last Greenwood victory, that a 22-7 decision at Greenwood in 2008.

 

Both teams come in on positive notes. In a 62-0 victory against Logan County, Greenwood notched their first shutout since 2010 (also against Logan County). Their 62 points equaled last year's effort against the Cougars as the third highest score in Gator history and raised their season average by nearly 11 PPG. It was more points than they'd scored in their last five games combined. This game is a continuation of a stretch that has them on the road for five of six games until they close the year with three at home. Meanwhile for the Dragons it is Homecoming, their third home game in their last four and next to last one of the year. They have won two consecutive games since starting the year 0-3 and will look to continue that momentum. Both of their wins have been first half running clock affairs and they outscored North Hardin and Barren County by a combined 103-20 score. They have a positive 159-113 scoring mark on the year despite the losing record.

Warren Central 34-13.

I absolutely CANNOT WAIT until those on the other side of town venture across the tracks and come to the Hood. Central will win handily.
