A challenging early season schedule sharpened the Tigers’ claws. They've been using those claws to rip through their last seven opponents. Fern Creek (8-4) has really stepped up their game on defense, surrendering just 8 ppg during this seven game win streak. That defense will be tested by the potent offense of South Oldham (11-1). The Dragons have averaged 48 points and roughly 400 yards per game since their season opening loss to CAL.

To me this game will be about toughness -- both physical and mental. After attending the Fern Creek vs Oldham County game it appeared to me Fern Creek just wanted it more. OC was in position to make tackles and plays but the runner for FC ran through them. The D-line for FC was pushing through the OC line, not allowing OC to get anything going. Fern Creek was bringing it on offense and defense up front as the game wore on.

South Oldham to me has more athletes and playmakers than OC. This will be South's fourth straight trip to the Regionals and these guys know what to expect. South also has a little bit better passing game than OC and that should help give FC more to defend, maybe opening up some running lanes.

One big difference is South has a far better kicking game than FC and field position could be something that gives South the edge. Believe the Dragons will take this one but it won't be easy!

Interesting game between 2 teams that are used to playing in the playoffs.

I think South is the better team, but playing at Fern Creek is alway tough.

If it were poor weather conditions, I think I'd like Fern Creeks chances more, but since its "supposed" to not rain, I think that helps South.

I like South Oldham in a close game. But watch those turnovers!!!

It won't be raining and the snow should melt away. The game time temps will be near freezing. This game, I think, will be closer due to the conditions.
