From the Prediction thread:

 

North Oldham hosts Spencer County this week in the district opener for North. Both teams need this win to feel comfortable about a playoff appearance.

 

North is 1-4 overall and playing their first district game after a bye this past Friday. Spencer is 2-4 and 0-1 in the district after a 38-0 loss to Collins this past Friday.

 

North is trying to build on their last game, a 16-13 come-from-behind overtime win over previously undefeated 5A Bullitt Central on the road in Shepherdsville. A long TD pass from Tanner McCoy to Brandon Rose pulled North to within 13-10 in the second half, and the 'Stangs won in on the leg of Adam Berry, who hit two FGs to tie and win it.

 

Spencer County also played Bullitt Central, and lost 38-13. The Bears gave up 346 yards rushing and - while they rushed for 191 yards themselves - it was not up to their normal average of nearly 260 yards rushing a game, and Spencer was able to complete just one pass in that game for 6 yards.

 

Everyone likes to compare scores, but projecting the winner of this game probably isn't nearly so simple. North is a smaller, quicker team facing a Spencer team that likes to pound the ball on the ground with star RB Kadin Smith, who averages about 10 yards a carry(!). If North can force Spencer to the air, you have to like the Mustangs' chances. But if Spencer can get that powerful running game going, then the Bears' chances look very good.

 

The winner of the game gets a crucial district win in a district where victories won't come easy against the likes of Franklin County, Collins, and Shelby County.

 

Kickoff at 7:30 pm in Goshen, KY.
