1A #8 Ky. Country Day at Eminence Predictions

[Voice of Reason]

Eminence entered last week's district opener with a 4-2 record but took one on the chin from Frankfort, losing 42-0. Ky. Country Day did the opposite getting an impressive 34-0 win over 1A ranked Louisville Holy Cross. Those scores make this look like a lopsided win for KCD. Can Eminence compete in this one? What do you expect the score to be?

KCD is healthy coming into this game and has had a week off from school with its fall break. The team should be rested and otherwise stress free(the academic demands at the school can make for some zombies some weeks with late, late, late night studying)

 

The biggest hurdle for KCD in this game is complacency, an emotional "we got this" lull from last week's monumental win versus Holy Cross. Frankfort and a possible outright district championship battle loom next week...would be no surprise if the Bearcats aren't completely dialed in. And the game is on the road, and Eminence has a ton of motivation to make this a game.

 

If all those factors combine, it'll take a score or two from Eminence to galvanize KCD. If the Bearcat team that played last Friday shows up, however, it'll be a running clock by halftime. Massey has this 49-19 KCD, Calpreps 52-20, I'll defer to the computers on this one.
