Meade Co returns 14 starters and 2 of the top players in the area in Austin Oppel and JJ Richardson. Meade also has most of its starting Offensive line back from last season and looks to carry momentum over from the end of last season where they beat Louisville Desales in the last game of the season and pushed Top 5 Central Hardin in their playoff game. 

 

John Hardin had a coaching change bringing in Franklin-Simpsons'  Doug Preston . Preston had much success at Franklin-Simpson and brings his Wing T style to Hardin Co. John Hardin has 2 nice running backs in Keyandre Strand and Dominik Hodges. 

 

Meade Co beat Prestons' Wildcat team last year but John Hardin got the better of Meade Co. The 2 biggest questions are:

 

1: Can Meade pick up where they ended last season ?

 

2. How will John Hardin look adapting to a new Offense with such little practice time?

I’ll take the Mean Green in this one. I think Oppel leads them to victory.

Halftime 

 

0-0

 

Not too sloppy. Just both defenses playing well. 
 

Oppel had a long run called back. 

Also, Meade has their best OL/DL player sitting a 1 game suspension. They also lost another starting lineman and a backup to injury this week.
