Tigers wrap up that "daunting" schedule.

 

Will not playing anyone in a month and a half hurt them in playoffs?

Conventional wisdom says it has too right? But 2 teams show up and only 1 will leave successfully. The Warren Central game will be really interesting. Some think Central will win.

I saw Central really early in the year but haven't seen them since then. You have to believe that district prepares you better for a close game though? It should be interesting. Hopkinsville has tons of athletes but if Warren Central can slow them down they have a good chance to win.

 

I believe Hopkinsville wins this one at home but I think that is the only win they get.

Hoptown was better than Warren Central last year. This year Hoptown is a little better and Central is a little worse.

Typically I would agree that a less-difficult schedule (and subsequent wins) is not helpful to a team heading into the playoffs. BUT, given all the adversity and tragedy this particular Hopkinsville team has dealt with in 2015, building confidence and positivity through victories is certainly not a bad thing and may prove to be beneficial.

Map, who do you think trips them up in the second round? They wouldn't play South Warren until the 3rd round.

Franklin Simpson. Not because I think that they are that much better than HHS or WC but because that would mean the tigers would have to win tough/physical games in back to back weeks. Do you think they would be able to do that?

 

If not that week. They definitely do not get past the 3rd Weekend...

I agree with you that they really aren't battle tested. The thing I like least about Franklin is that they are SO one-dimentional. Basically all Hoptown has to do is sit on the run. Yes, they can have some success with that, but will it be enough? Hopkinsville will never be out of the game because of their offense. In order for Franklin to win IMO, they have to control clock the whole game and when they are in the red zone, they have to make it count and score every time as I'm not sold on their D being able to hold Hopkinsville down. But they may not beat Central, so there you go!

They were? Then that 38 point loss they took to Central must have been all the more embarrassing.

I guess I should have prefaced those comments by saying I know very little about Franklin-Simpson, simply looked at scores. By what you say though they are strictly a running team. Hopkinsville's weakest part of their team is probably in the trenches. They try and combat that on defense by playing fast and bringing lots of pressure; slowing it down and trying to control possession would probably be in FS best interest.

 

Hopkinsville is capable of beating both those teams (and I hope they do), I guess am just not as high on them as a lot of other people. Great discussion and it will interesting to see how it plays out.

I agree Map! This is a time of year where anticipation is King waiting until Friday night when it's all on the line! Win or go home for the year! It's a big reason as why I love it!
