The Raiders, fresh off a huge win over county rival West Carter, take their unblemished record to Flemingsburg to tangle with the Panthers. Fleming County comes in at 2-1, with their loss being a very close defeat to Greenup County. Both teams know how to put points on the board, with East Carter averaging 47.8 ppg and Fleming averaging 46.

 

This is a matchup of two very solid teams, one searching for a breakthrough season after years of futility and the other trying to bounce back following a losing season a year ago.

Game, like last weeks east game and many other football games, will come down to which team makes the fewest mistakes and which team maximizes on them. Fleming is down, and east is on the rise at least for now. Fleming will win their district regardless, and East...well they just gotta believe to have a punchers chance in theirs.

Hoping to hear all about a big East win.

7-0 Fleming at the end of the 1st quarter.

Fleming turned it over on downs at the East 12 with 3 minutes and change to go. East converted a 4th and 1 on their 21, and marched down the field. Missed the 2-point try.
