Final

 

A two-point conversion wins it for Central Hardin in OT.

Wow!

 

What a hard fought, awesome game.

 

Congrats to both teams.

My updates on this game did it no justice, but I'm new to this and hope to get better. First of all, much respect goes to Meade Co. for being one of the toughest teams in the state every season. The level of play was exceptional by both defensive units and the pads were cracking all night. Coach Mattingly was brilliant and brave to go for 2 in OT after Meade called timeout to ice the kicker. Many may have played conservatively instead of putting it all on the line in such a big game.QB's Krupinski and Wilson both impressed and gave everything for their teams. Wilson showed his constitution by meeting Arnette at or near the line of scrimmage coming up from the safety position. That kid forgets that he's a QB when he's on defense. Arnette is not easy to tackle and punishes most who try, so I must give credit where it is due. Hawkins, Willis and Bryan stood out on defense for the Bruins, though it was clearly a great team effort. Overall, it was a privilege to witness such a high level of football and I'm happy for the boys at Central Hardin.

CH's first win vs. Meade since 1999? Is that right?

Wow. Excellent win for them! :thumb:

That's a pretty good way to describe Wilson, Varneystone. Kid plays with a lot of intensity on both sides.

Anyone watching Wilson play the game would have to appreciate his effort, regardless of any allegiance to an opposing team.

Just put a little perspective on the game. First, congrats to CH on their big win. CH was well coached, prepared and played a great game. However, believe the game would have been different if both starting LB/RB (Addesa & Kaiser) were 100%. Hopefully we will see CH in the playoffs and healthy. Again great win..but the real season starts in 3 weeks.

I have been impressed with Central Hardin all year but I was very impressed with Meade County. Their defense is disciplined and the kids know their fundamentals. I was actually surprised with how well they withstood Central Hardin's rushing attack throughout the game. That being said, I am more excited to see a potential Central Hardin vs. Scott County matchup and a Meade County vs. Bryan Station matchup in the 2nd round of the playoffs. Should be very exciting.
