This week has some interesting match-ups as far as some of the 8th region pre-season favorites stepping out of region and challenging other pre-season favorites. Early on gauge for how competitive the 8th region can be around the state.

 

 

Oldham @ North Hardin Dec 1st- If anyone can beat Taylor County in the 5th region I believe it is North Hardin.

 

Shelby County @ Mercer County Dec 1st- tough first game for the Rockets, who just got their football kids, today, so it will be hard to really gauge the game. Mercer is loaded and the favorite in the 12th.

 

Owen @ South Laurel Dec 5th- part of Nissan Classic, the favorite in the 13th vs. the favorite in the 8th

 

Simon @ Mason Dec 4th long road trip and Coach Biggs first as the head man at Mason

 

Games inside the region of interest

 

Gallatin @ Collins Dec 1st the regional champs take on a fisty bunch of Wildcats, a glimpse of 2 teams that could be contenders by seasons end.

 

South Oldham @ Shelby Dec 3rd two teams that could win the region this year, unfortunately Shelby may not have all their kids, great football season

 

Carroll @ Trimble Dec 3rd an old rivalry that always is a competitive game, with great crowds and atmosphere, Coach Stacy May the new head coach at Trimble vs. the team he coached with last

Mason @ SK

SK plays @ Gallitan County Saturday.

Thanks guys, some great early match ups

Carroll @ Trimble Dec 3rd an old rivalry that always is a competitive game, with great crowds and atmosphere, Coach Stacy May the new head coach at Trimble vs. the team he coached with last

 

Is this the same Stacey May that coached at Williamstown? If so, how long was he at Carroll County? The last two coaches I remember from there were Dave Miller and Carroll Yager.

Stacey was at Williamstown, he was the JV coach for Yager

Collins is going to have a long year. We just don't have the players that we've had in the past. Gaithersburg does a great job of developing chemistry. I'm just hoping the boys can be competitive by the end of the year.
