Final per update thread.

A little disappointed in this result on the surface. The good news for OHS is they could've scored more than 48 against Madisonville. The defense only gave up 21 because 7 of the Maroon points came off a pick 6. Also, OHS kicker Nick Brake is showing his reliability by hitting 2 fg's. OHS has hit with 11 penalties but the offense can't have multiple turnovers like last night. I think OHS can get to the point where they could give BG a game if they are clicking but last night makes you question that. OHS' defense is very young (9 new starters) so the curve is still in play. Hopefully the Devils can take a step forward next week against a quickly improving Owensboro Catholic team on the road. OHS RB Landon Board finished with 198 yards and freshman Monte Owsley got on the varsity scene with a 88 yard touchdown run.

 

The young Devils will improve week to week and there will be growing pains. Fans (like me) need to remain patient and enjoy watching this team learn and grow.

Offense was great for OHS, defense was at times, but on 2 of madisonvilles drives, and maybe all 3, OHS had them stopped and penalties kept the drive going.

 

Funny commentary from one of the Madisonville radio guys late in the game, he was bragging on Madisonvilles defense in the 2nd half saying "OHS has only run 15 plays in the second half, so our guys have been doing a great job on defense". LOL. The reason it was only 15 plays was long runs by Board and Owsley and scoring quickly.

Watch out for this team! One of the best OLines on this half of the state.

 

Score doesn't reflect how much O won this game. Can't wait to see Owsley in a couple weeks! Owensboro is a dangerous team.
