Johnson Central will host Lexington Catholic this coming Friday at Eagle Field. The Golden Eagles defeated the Knights last year in Lexington by a final of 42-28. So far this season, JC has a statement win over Capital, WV and LC has an impressive win vs. Boone County at home and a loss to St. X at home in a tale of two halves. Who you got and why?

Another game that should be a dandy this week. No outcome will surprise me. I think JC takes this one at home.

I think JC will win comfortably.

I tend to lean towards Johnson Central in this one

Lexington Catholic had no answer for ST X's running game and Johnson Central runs the ball as well as anyone in the state JC by 3 TD'S

LC played well defensively against St X and almost stole a win as LC was leading 28-26 with 6 minutes left in the game. With that said, JC OL is a notch above St X and LC will have to outscore JC if it expects to win. Offensively, I think LC will put some points on the board. LC 38 JC 34

I went homer. Will require LexCath to keep up the scoring.

 

Knights lost two defensive starters in first week and that is a challenge. Next man up started early this year.

If Catholic plays like they did in the first half against X, I find it tough for JC to pull this one out. But, I don't think Catholic will play like they did against X, therefore I'll take the Golden Eagles.

JC 35

LC 31

Man, JC is a 99% running team and I know Matney has everyone bought in on the plan, but the bolded quote means you need to get out more and watch some football around the state.

:eek:

I like JC in the 40-22 type of range

i thought the OL qoute was a little over the top.Next there Defense is as fast as South Warren!
