5A #8 Warren Central at 5A North Hardin

[DragonFire]

Series History: Warren Central leads 9-6 (Won 3 Straight)

Series at North Hardin: North Hardin leads 4-3

 

Last year when these two teams met, it was a battle of desperation. Both teams entered at 0-3 in search of their first victory. The Trojans utilized an uptempo attack much like the Dragons are looking to feature this year, but had very little success in the game. North Hardin amassed only 176 yards of offense and one offensive score in getting blown out 49-14. Neither went on to have dominant years, but the Dragons did recover to finish at .500 while the Trojans limped to a 1-10 campaign, their only victory coming over Iroquois.

 

This season, the outlook has been much brighter for each. The Trojans may be just 1-2, but they're not winless, and had a very strong showing in their opening loss to Central Hardin, falling only 28-21. They beat Western two weeks ago, and enter off what was essentially a road loss to a much improved Southwestern team. Meanwhile the Dragons enter having taken a beating at the hands of defending 2A champion DeSales. If it's true you learn more from a loss than a win, Warren Central will be quite learned after last week. This will be the last game of a quasi-road trip for the Dragons, who have been away from Bowling Green since their first game of the year. After this, they will play 4 of 6 at home.

North Hardin has a nice young QB but I think WC wins by 3 TDs.

My gut tells me Central wins this by more than what several expect on here. Give me the Dragons by at least 28. I think they bounce back big.
