Final.

Henderson is a very good running, physical team. Owensboro did not play at the level they have been playing and managed a 14 point win. Devils big played Henderson all night, continually had third and long etc..and then would come up with a big gain or TD. This game could have been over early. It was 21/7 at half and could have been 28 or 35 but Owensboro dropped a handful of balls and kept letting Henderson back in the game. Owensboro defense played well at times but were on the field way to much and had to play 4 quarters after wins over Christian Co, Marshall Co, Daviess Co, Apollo and Graves Co, where the game was essentially over in the second or third quarter. OHS had a key D lineman not playing and it hurt them on run defense. Overall though a good road win over a very tough Henderson. Nice to be able to not play your best and get the W.

I thought Tre Green had a great game.

If poking holes, I had counted 8 dropped balls and guy next to me had 7. And had another silly unsportsmanlike penalty. If devils do these things in playoffs they won’t go as far as they are capable of going.

There are definitely things OHS need to clean up if they intend to go deep in the playoffs. It surprised me that both teams played that game as if they were actually playing for something (after halftime) considering that playoffs were a week away. Looks as though Owensboro got away healthy but I believe Henderson had two kids walked off the field. I hope both kids are okay and are able to return to action this coming week.

The defense has been listening to it's own hype. Rosco, you are correct. The defense was on the field way too long, but that's what happens when you start a game with three passes in a row and go 3 and out. They have gotten so far away from the running game, it is ridiculous. They are going to need to be able to run or grind out a long drive at some point. If you can't do it against lesser teams, how do you expect to do it against the really good ones? You counted 8 drops? How many have they had in the last 3 games? Was it graves or Apollo that they dropped 3 td passes? Not properly catching the ball (with their hands), not securing the ball when they had the catch, all these are correctable but you have to put the work in. It doesn't just happen. With a hard throwing qb you cannot allow the ball to get to your body and ohs's receivers allow that to happen way too much. With that said, all these things are correctable and if they get that stuff under control and get everybody back on D, they are definitely going to be a team not too many teams want to deal with.

Tre Green does not get the credit he deserves. He is playing very well right now.
