Playoff Meetings:

11/12/2010: at Christian County 14 Bowling Green 10

11/9/2012: at Bowling Green 31 Christian County 17

 

For the fourth time in five years these two teams will meet in the playoffs, and this is the third straight time it comes in the second round. The 2010 matchup won by Christian County is the last time Bowling Green lost to anyone, anywhere, at any time. The two have met at El Donaldson Stadium only four times since 1981, and the Purples have won six straight games there against the Colonels. You have to go back to a 21-16 decision in 1977 to find the one and only time the Colonels managed a win at Bowling Green. In all, Bowling Green has won 8 of 9 from Christian County dating back to a loss in 1982.

 

This year's edition is not a typical Christian County team. They enter at just 5-6 and struggled to put away a Barren County team they beat by 48 just two years ago. While their losses have been to good teams, they have very little in the way of quality wins. That's something, of course, that Bowling Green has in spades during this year and their 40 game win streak. They coasted to the most lopsided 49-7 win you'll ever see in their first round matchup with Apollo. All the playoff meetings between these two have been relatively close as have their games in general, but this has the look of a total mismatch. Bowling Green may be more worried about whether Warren Central can knock off Graves County to grant them a home game next week rather than a 2.5 hour trip west.

Bowling Green 42-7.

It has been a struggle with the Colonels this season. Injuries and more injuries to a young team has been hard to get threw. Seems like every week there's 5/6 kids who have some type injury to keep them out. Concussions being one of the nagging problems as I'm sure its the same with many other teams across the state. Mix that in with playing a tuff schedule has resulted in first losing season since 2001. There has been a few bright spots, beating Hillsboro who just beat defending 5A Tenn. champion beech this past weekend was by far the best win to date. The Fulton team out of Knoxville might have been the best team the Colonels have faced in recent memory. Colonels did put manage to put up 28 points on the board and force them to punt twice during the game. Don't laugh they only punted once before playing the Colonels have not punted or scored up on since then.

BG to me is better than they were last year. Defense has not miss a beat since loosing their DC to Boone and their offensive is even more explosive than last season. QB runs the show like he's playing 7 on 7. Fant and their running back are STUDS. BG's O-line might be the best coached line in the state. Very sound and get after you.

Coach Lovelace will have the Colonels ready to play. He's a great motivator and will have the kids play hard and that's all you can ask for. No prediction here just hope the Colonels can give the purples a good game.

Understatement. They are significantly better than last year. They are nothing less than the best BG team I have personally laid eyes on, since I'm too young to remember the mid-90's teams.

Agree DF. I was born and raised in BG, went to BG. This is BG's best team ever. Some could argue this, but I think it's clear. BG never beat St X until 3 year ago and this is the best team of the past 3.

 

Christian Co has always played BG tough, but it is not their year this time especially at BG. BG - 48 Christian County 17.

These are always tough, competitive games. But this year, BG is just too good. Purples win 38-10.
