If Garrard doesn't turn the ball over I think they have a chance for the upset. I didn't realize the first game was so even statistically.

IMO, the answers to the following three questions will dictate the game:

 

1) Can Garrard cut defensive mistakes that lead to big plays?

2) Can Catholic stop the run?

3) Who wins the turnover battle?

 

If either can answer in the affirmative on two of those items, they win. If it is Catholic, they could win big. If it is Garrard, they could squeak one out.

After thinking about this one for a few day I think Lex Cath will be much better prepared for this one. They aren't coming off an emotional victory over Boyle and they know what to expect. I don't think the Knights will take Garrard lightly this go around and take care of business.

This is the one game I would love to see live. Lex Cath looking ahead to the Boyle Co rematch, Garrard Co grinds it out in a close one. Good luck to both teams!

I think this will be a run away from prior meeting, Lex Cath had just beat Boyle the week prior. Who's QB for Catholic right now? Brumbaugh or Fagot? Looks like they got equal reps last game.

I think Garrard missed their knockout blow the first meeting.

 

LexCath will not take this game lightly and expect to see some better execution.

 

Garrard will equate themselves well, but I think LexCath keeps this one firmly in hand

 

34-14

I think LC wins this one. If GC would add even a small passing game, would make them harder to defend. Their QB can pass but they don't.

Garrard County's QB Slade Crutchfield is the best Athlete on the team. I don't know why Jerry dont let him throw the ball.

Ill take Catholic by 21. I think they had a hangover from the Boyle game on the first meeting.

Good Luck to both teams.

Lex Cath by 3 scores.

Garrard County thinks they have a chance if they make it a physical game. Look for them to come out and try to smack Catholic in the mouth and make it as physical as possible. I just think LC has too much big play potential.

Wow! U think? Sounds like "insider info"!
