Well the day is finally here! Departure time in approx. 9.5 hours.

This is going to be a great game, and I plan on being there. While I'm not really a fan of either team, I want to see a good high school football game. I've seen BG up close and personal this year, and while they are not as talented as the BG teams of a few years back, they are still a very talented football team. While the first game between these two teams was close, you can forget that game. Both coaches staff's will make adjustments and give different looks and scheme's they the other team will not be expecting. That being said, halftime will require further adjustments and knowing the BG staff I have to give them the edge there.

It's an old cliché` but the truth of the matter is this, they team that wins will play well in all 3 phases of the game, offense, defense and special teams. The winner will also not commit dumb penalties, and will not turn the ball over. My wish is for this to be a clean game, (no dumb penalties, or turnovers) and no one to get hurt.

This being said, something tells me that it's time for the devils to find a way to win after all the losses to BG, but my head tells me BG is just a little better. Which means I'm going with my head and not my heart.

 

BG 28 Owensboro 27

 

PS. This game is not for the State Championship regardless of what all the Purples and Devil's fans may say. There is a team that is still alive in the east, that has had a running clock in all of their games but the only loss to Scott County, and in all likelihood will have a running clock tonight. Don't sleep on the Maroon's of Pulaski County! BG, Owensboro or Fern Creek, will have to play their "A" game to beat the Maroons.

I agree Mountain man. People shouldn't sleep on Fern Creek either. That's an athletic team that can pull a shocker next week if the team that's playing them isn't ready. When I said that this game is for the title, I just mean that I think that the winner of this game wins state.

 

At this point in the playoffs, if you don't bring your "A" game, you go home. Good luck and Go Devils!

Devils58, I kindly disagree that the winner of the OHS/BG games wins state. I think they have a shot, but I'm telling your Pulaski County is on a mission. As defending State Champs they have been getting snubbed all year, and those kids if they stay healthy for 2 more weeks will be in BG to play whomever comes out of the west and those Maroons will be ready!
