McCracken vs. Central Hardin

[Guest]

Who wins? Why?

[MSU-70]

Central will get their region title...Central's size and strength will too much and they will edge McCracken by a score.

[MrKnowNothing]

I don't think this game will be close. I think McCracken wins the game by 14 or more. Their lines will dominate Central up front.

Playing at home in Paducah should be the edge McCracken needs to win!!

Good luck to both teams! Who ever wins I will be cheering for you next week!

Central Hardin by 7. I haven't seen McCracken play this year but I don't think Central's line will be dominated in this one.

Who wins, why

No doubt McCracken County will have more athletes on the field Friday night. Can Central Hardin establish the run with Arnette and Barbour? That will be one key. Can Central Hardin's defense keep the score low? Generally not part of their defensive philosophy, Central willl need to get some pressure on QB Cash Jones.

Central is big up front on both sides of the ball, can Central Hardin impose their will against McCracken County? Should be a great Regional Final

Couple things from a guy who has seen both play this year:

 

1. Central Hardin - already made a trip to Paducah this year and beat a good team (Paducah Tilghman) that beat McCracken first game of the year.

Did not get to see Arnette play, but as HCP stated, can the Bruins sustain drives with the run? This is a big key! I think they can, but they need to mix up some easy passes in there as well.

 

2. McCracken County - On offense, they have 3 outright top talents in Hughes, Jones and #8. They will be tough for Central to control. However, what about defense? #6 DLineman is out for the year. He played really well in the BG game. Big loss?

 

This game sets up to be a classic. I look for Central Hardin to wear down McCrackens D, but don't think CHardin can stop the Big 3 of McCracken either.

Are both Arnette and Barbour healthy now?

I ask because Central with them was totally different than without.

[GloryDays]

They both logged significant stats the last couple of games, so they appear to be fine.

[Hardin County Preps]

Both backs are healthy going into this game. Central starters have only logged about 3 quarters over the last 3 games, as they scores have been lopsided.

Keys:

Central Hardin defense and its ability to get pressure on Jones.

Central Hardin's offensive line and its ability to open running lanes for Arnette and Barbour.

Central Hardin starts slow and is generally an explosive second half team. Central must start fast and sustain the intensity throughout the game.
