Greenwood/Barren County Predictions

[DragonFire]

Series History: Greenwood leads 10-5

Series at Barren County: Greenwood leads 6-2

 

Greenwood has won seven straight in the series between these two teams, and have not lost at Barren County or overall since the Trojans took a 17-7 decision in 2001. Last season was the most lopsided result of the series when the Gators shellacked them by a 47-8 score in Bowling Green. Many of the other games in the series have been more measured contests, as during Greenwood's streak they have won by between 8 and 14 three times, including by just 11 two years ago in Glasgow.

 

This game will play a large part in playoff positioning. Neither team has real hope of gaining a home playoff game, so it's about trying to get a slightly better matchup in their road trip. Barren County has not risen above the 4 seed in any playoff since 2007, something that has contributed to their ongoing lack of success in the playoffs. Greenwood's hasn't been a 4 seed since 2004, though they did miss the playoffs outright in 2005, 2006, and 2010. Their only playoff wins have come in that span of time.

 

Barren County will also look to break a 6 game district losing streak, and a win here would almost certainly gain them a playoff berth.
