I am a big fan of the Red Devils. Jeff Reese is an old friend, son of Randy Reese who won state titles at Paris and Ludlow. Jeff is the OC at OHS and has been a resource for me over the past 25 + years. Outstanding football coach and one of those guys that has forgotten more football than most guys know.

The thing that stands out most about this schedule isn't what's present, but rather what's missing. This marks the first time since 2008 that Bowling Green and Owensboro won't face off in the regular season.

The toughest game in on the schedule is Evansville Central. Okay, there is the possibility that OHS will be 12-0 going into the regional finals and not having been tested. IMO every year 13-1 and getting blasted by Bowling Green, South Warren or even Christian County. You need to find a way to get teams on the schedule that will test you. I don't see any team on this schedule that will test the Devils other than Central. The fans may be happy and Coach Fallin can add to his wins total but how many championships are you bringing home? You tell me. Might have to dump traditional rivals (OC, DC, Apollo and Henderson) looking to have a tougher schedule. Over the last few years, Owensboro has been better than those teams with only Catholic being competitive. Bowling Green should still be there and you could add a team from Louisville, Lexington, NKY, South Warren, or Mayfield. Get your team better, be competitive during the playoffs.

Both Apollo and Daviess Co. beat Owensboro in 2017. That's seems competitive enough.

One win apiece in over 10+ seasons. Yes, that competitive.:stop: I guess you see the series of Bowling Green against Owensboro competitive also (since Owensboro won in the playoffs)?:no:

@74devil I don't guess Owensboro Catholic will give yall a competitive game this year??

I never said that. I said out of the 4 teams I listed, OC was the only team still competitive. 2 wins in the last 3 meetings, how could I not call that competitive?

Lot of respect for the Red Devils.

It seems to me the worst part of their schedule is their new district mates, which they don't control.

Breckinridge County, Ohio County, Muhlenberg County, Grayson County, and even Graves County won't beat Owensboro in football with guys like Owsley on the field.

 

I personnally like the local games. I realize O has won the majority of them, but they have been playing them forever and I think it's good for the local community that they play. I would try to rotate them on a 2 year cycle (most teams want a guarentee to play home and away) to free up a game, as you need to add somebody because this leaves you very suspect when you finally play a team in the playoffs that battle-tested.
