It's do or die time for the Tigers. They enter this game with the exact record they had a season ago at 1-4, but are light one starting quarterback in Javier Bland. The Tigers have felt the absence, and we will see what they have after a bye week before this crucial district game. Madisonville is also jockeying for position in District 1, already at 2-0 in district play as part of their 4-2 record. Win here, and they set up a revenge district title game against Logan County on October 12th. Will Madisonville take Hopkinsville's place in the rankings?

Hopkinsville has more athletes. But Madisonville is solid and at home. It won't be pretty, but I still like Madisonville to win this game.
