The Ballard (5-4) squad did have some offensive success against Trinity despite the shutout. I am not convinced Central Hardin's (6-3) strength of schedule has prepared them adequately for this contest. Make it 35-14 in favor of the District 4 second place team.

CH schedule. Really? CAL, South Warren, Southwestern. We will represent well on friday

He also picked NH to Beat CH based on the final score of North and Meade without knowing how the final was not indicative of the actual game....transitive properties don't work in sports...I'll take CH in this one...but will be close

One of these years the right coach will land at Ballard, and strike a chord with the athletes walking the halls of Ballard High School. Then it will be similar to what happened at central high school, when coach Ty arrived, or what happened at DeSales when Coach Harold Davis showed up. Ballard reminds me of jeffersonville high school across the river. Loads of talent never much success.

Let's review some of the high notes of my thought process:Central Hardin beat a Soutrhwestern team that was pounded by Henry Clay by 32 points. Christian Academy of Louisville is a 2A program. Meade County is 4-4 and the Bruins won by 7. Bowling Green just tap danced on South Warren and they are on a two game losing skid.

 

Ballard did lose to 2A DeSales. Their other losses are to Manual, Male, and Trinity. Ballard has a great number of athletes and their quarterback is a very stout young man. I am not convinced Central Hardin has played against a squad with the overall speed possessed by these Ballard Bruins.

 

Central Hardin beat North Hardin by 7 and are District 2 Champions. That is an accomplishment. Yes, I picked against Central Hardin and the Bruins proved I made an error in judgment. The BGP voters at large chose more wisely than I did. Good luck in the first three rounds of the playoffs and I hope Trinity gets to visit your home turf the day after Thanksgiving. The Rocks have not faced Central Hardin in varsity football action. The Bruins would be the 92nd different opponent for Trinity. Trinity is 0-1 versus Elizabtehtown and 5-0 versus North Hardin (Hardin County schools Trinity played).

Not a very good thought process, Central Hardin did not beat Southwestern?

Speed? Southwestern has the fastest player in the state on their team?

Ballard's wins are against teams with a combined record of 21-24?

Ballard had team speed last year and the game went to overtime vs Central Hardin?

Great athletes + team speed = 49 point loss to Trinity?

I have seen Trinity twice this year vs Carmel and Moeller. When Trinity isn't playing, who else have you seen this year?????

@thsrocks, Meade County is 6-A. Has been in the largest class for a while. Went to the 6-A championship a few years back when Scott County won.

 

That being said, didn't some Hardin County folks think Central Hardin would beat Southwestern by 2-3 touchdowns and Central Hardin was down big early?

Where does thsrocks say Meade is 4a?? He said they were 4-4 when Central played them

Coachhawk-- he is referring to JP Vaught

Rondale Moore is the fastest football player in the state. He will prove that when he wins the state in the track and field meet in the 100 m dash.

JP beat him last year n the 100 state finals by .10

I don't think he said Meade was any other class! Yes CH was down big early, what is that point? As always, you love to point out a negative from your alma mater. Why sour grapes toward CH? Something personal?

My fault. I thought he said Meade was 4-A.

 

It says 4-FOUR.

 

Wow. I goofed completely.

I love how a projected 2-3 touchdown win turns into a quality loss, that's all.

 

Fact is, no one in the great 8 (Hardin, Meade, LaRue, Grayson) has an elite win this year. E'town beat Franklin-Simpson, but a vastly mediocre and one-dimensional Meade County team also beat them.
