Series History: Apollo leads 5-3

Series at Greenwood: Apollo leads 3-1

 

This is the third straight year these teams have met, and second straight year at Greenwood. Greenwood won both of the last two meetings by an average of 35 points, and last year's win was their first in the series at The Swamp. Apollo's last win at Greenwood came in 2001, a 19-14 victory.

 

Both teams enter in dire need of a win and a shot in the arm. Apollo is just 1-6 on the year, and took it on the chin in district play to the tune of three straight losses by nearly 40 points per game. Their lone win came over winless Hopkins County Central. Meanwhile Greenwood has lost two straight and four of five, none worse than their 14-10 loss at Barren County on October 4th. That decision means they will almost certainly be in 4th place in the district come playoff time. Scoring has been the largest trouble for Greenwood, as they have only 39 points combined in their six games outside of a 62-0 destruction of winless Logan County. Apollo would seem to be the perfect prescription for that problem, entering with an average of 36.7 points allowed to opponents.

I don't know anything about Greenwood, but my alma mater Apollo is terrible. I would be shocked if they were to win.

Apollo is 5A now.

Knew that and did it anyway. Fixed.
