6A Playoffs: #6 Scott County vs. #7 Simon Kenton

[Bwtigerpaw]

This is the type of game that your regular season schedule prepares you for. SKs weak schedule and refusal to play 6A powers in the regular season bites them again. SC is battle tested and will roll in this one.

 

Only thing I will say to that, is there really 6a powers this year? 5a is better than 6 A this year.

The biggest 5A power barely beat a team who got destroyed by a so called 2nd tier 6A team. 6A is still the standard, come on now!

Yes, there are plenty of powers to schedule (even this year). When was the last time SK scheduled St. X, Trinity, Male, Scott County, Fred Doug or any D1 or GCL team from Cincinnati? That is what the 6A powers do to prepare. That's why they'll never be ready for the "big game".

Didn’t St. X lose to Desales this year? I think 6a is way down. SK lost to Beechwood as well.

I think that Scott County wins easily, which I hope I’m wrong about, I’d love to see Simion Kenton pull a major upset. Scott County is just too battle tested and they beat the number one ranked 6A team last night, whom I truly believe was number one with all that they did until last night.

Battle tested getting beat by HC? Even with their qb they shouldn't lose to HC.

And beating Moeller. They lost to Lasalle and FD along with Henry Clay. Even in losing those games, they played two GCL teams which isn’t done by hardly anyone in the state. Their schedule is far stronger than what Simon Kenton played.

There is no true outlier in the state this year. But overall collection of teams, the top of 6A is still the standard

While schedule is important, that drum gets beaten too hard on these boards. Remember, Scott County won the 6a title in 2013 while playing only one team during the regular season with a winning record.

 

For most High School teams, their schedule isn’t why they win or don’t win games. Mostly it comes down to who has the best players. With how 6a has played out this, it wouldn’t surprise me if SK keeps this one close, or even wins. It also wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a blowout.

Again, check out Scott County’s 2013 schedule, and tell me which regular season game got them over the hump to win the title. Was it the 5 win Henry Clay team? Or was it because they had the best players and a very good coach?

[Roundsteak]

I don’t recall seeing the big OT (Hudson?) play in the 2nd half for SC against FD. Is he hurt?

[jvdfc]

Scott Co by 21.

[Big Things Kentucky]

Wow everyone saying SK will get blown out. I don't think so. Also SK and Scott County did play a JV game against each other SC won on the final play. SK's front seven should do fine against SC. SK's Oline is playing great and doing whatever they want running the ball. SC losing to HC tells me SK should have no problem. Pioneer Nation will be loud and proud next Friday!

Coach Mckee talks about his teams loss to Henry clay in our show last week. We feel like by NKY standers this SK team is not as strong.

Moeller wasn't very good this year they got destroyed in the playoffs.
