Thoughts?

#1 Wayne County will travel to #6 Lou. Western for a game that will only be the second meeting between these two schools. After starting the year against some tough opponents at 1-4, the Warriors come into the contest at 8-4 and have went on a 7 game win streak to match up with the top ranked Cardinals in the 4A Region 3 Championship. The Cardinals come into the contest at 11-1 with their only loss coming from 3A #2 Boyle County back in week four. Both teams swept through district play back in the regular season and are the #1 seed from their respective districts. The Cardinals look to advance to their fourth simi-final in the last 5 years (third in the last 3), while it’s been 7 years since the Warriors advances to the fourth round. These teams have each beat their 3 common opponents this year.

Will this game be competitive? I'm weighing some options for Friday and this is one of them.

Wayne will win this game by a couple of TDS.
