This district showdown will certainly be filled with fireworks. #6 Elizabethtown at 6-2 hosts #9 Bardstown at 7-1. Both teams are very good and will look to get the advantage on the other come playoff time. Who wins?

I’m going Elizabethtown in a slobber Knocker.

This is where our QB, 3 inches taller, 30 pounds heavier, 1 year wiser and more confident, and better trained, rises to the top, and our defense, not put in bad spots like they were last year, asserts their will. Tigers 28-14.

Yeah, I like Bardstown in this one... Hungry for respect.. They win this one and the attention is back..

I agree with Hearsay. This game will put Bardstown on notice as a major player in class 3A. I think that they will be too much for Elizabethtown.

This one could be really good. Both teams absolutely have the ability to win this game and both come in expecting to win. Does bad blood from last year come into play? I want to pick Bardstown. They have the best team they have had in a while. They have a stud in Calbert. The kid can play football! I like Bardstowns defensive line, they are extremely aggressive and explode off the ball.Here comes the but though.... I look at who Bardstown has played and not much sticks out. They gave Pikeville all they wanted,and they beat a Danville team that is apparently rebuilding. Outside of that there has not been much of a challenge. Elizabethtown has played two top 10 teams from 6A, although they lost both games, they were infact in those games. Elizabethtown has played against talented teams and in my opinion is battle tested. How will Bardstown respond in a game that is not a running clock going into the 4th quarter? Isn't high school football great!!!

Fair analysis. I can answer the Bad Blood question from Bardstown standpoint: last year was last year and these guys are on a mission.

You nailed the breakdown on this game. Both teams need this win. Neither team has a quality win. Both teams have been competitive but lost to the best teams on their schedules. This should be a good one.

Halftime 7-7. Tigers get ball to start 2nd half. Very evenly matched teams. Rain hampering Tigers pass attack a little bit.
