This is the the schedule for Central Hardin in the next three weeks, could they be 2-3 in the first 5 weeks and still be a top ten team in 6A?

I think so.

I cant imagine any other team in the state with a stretch of games like these.

Very tough stretch no doubt. Glad the Purples are last on the list!

I think CH wins 1 of these 3 games. They will beat John Hardin but I think they will lose to SW and BG which a lot of teams in the state would. They have a brutal schedule but will be better prepared come playoff time. They should still win their district going away.

One common thread for teams playing Bowing Green through the first three weeks is the ability to run against them. That bodes well for Central Hardin, not sure they will be able to run against South Warren. That is the key for Central Hardin in every game this season, the ability to run the ball will determine wins vs losses

If South Warren has a similar defense to Boyle County, it could be a long night for Reece Iler and Central Hardin. If they can run the ball, they will win

Running the ball against South is going to be very hard for any team. South has made it's name over the past 3 years based on their defense and have led or been close to leading in all defensive stats during this span. Their front along with the LB's are brutal to teams. South keeps the field short on teams meaning they pen teams back then get turnovers, good punt returns and or blocked punts allowing South to have short fields to work with.

1 team in 4 games runs the ball with success and now it's a "common thread", I see you.

That will be the problem. Teams typically can't run against SW. Many have tried and been unsuccessful. If a team is going to put points up against their defense it is going to have to be through the air and CH hasn't proven they can or will do that.
