5A #3 Pulaski County vs. Jeffersonville (IN) Predictions

[Ram]

Starting the journey to defend their 2014 State Championship, Pulaski County will play Jeffersonville Indiana. Will the Maroons have what it takes to start the season off with a win?

[Adopted Purple]

Unfortunately for Pulaski County, 5A is much better this year because of redistricting. I like them against Jeffersonville by 10 points. They should roll until the playoffs. Having to potentially beat Highlands and Bowling Green two weeks in a row is a tough road for any team in the bluegrass.

Jeffersonville was 8-2

Ended 9th in 6A AP Poll and 13th in 6A Coaches Poll. (Much lower in final Sagarin rankings)

3rd highest scoring team in 6A last season but with conference set up only played 2 or 3 6A schools most were conference schools much smaller.

New coach this season.

 

Max Preps Preseason Ranking-- Pulaski (547) Jeffersonville (2626)

Pulaski County should win comfortably. Jeffersonville was likely ranked based on record only, as opposed to any quality wins. 6a in southern Indiana is extremely weak right now...so even the wins they had against larger schools were not against great opposition.

One of my former coaches used to coach Jeffersonsville. Bill "White Eye" Ware. Toughest coach I ever had. I would run through a wall for that man.

I look for Pulaski to win rather easily...I expect them to play with a chip on their shoulder this year.

 

Really looking forward to the game next week with Scott Co...but will wait until next Friday night to start that discussion.

Pulaski nation has been totally silent about the scrimmage results vs Mad Central. Leads me to believe something went wrong or they would be thumping their chest.

Could be because it was a Scrimmage and in the grand scheme means nothing. What is there to beat their chest about if they beat Mad Central, they should beat Mad Central.

You don't know the same Pulaski fans I do then. It's never stopped them before.

I know a lot more of them than you do I'll bet. There may be some on other sites running their mouths but the ones on here are pretty straight up people and posters.
