The Comets (5-0) head down to Martin County (3-2) for a big district showdown. I’ll take West Carter by 12.

That's an awfully conservative margin. I look for it to be much worse than that.

Should be an interesting and revealing night for both programs.  

If West Carter wins by anything less than 4 touchdowns, it casts doubts on them as a legit top 5 team in 2A

How so?

I can't answer for VoR, but I agree with him. A top 5 team should manhandle Martin County this year. They lost to Magoffin County (an average team) by 48. 

Calpreps projects West Carter to win 52-3. Anytime Calpreps projects a margin that wide, that's a strong indicator of the discrepancy in quality between the two teams.

You make a good point. I’ll admit I don’t know much about Martin County this year. I won’t even get to make the game Friday. From the comments I’ve seen on this post though, I now feel like the comets should definitely win by more than my original prediction which is fine by me!

When that district came together before last season, I really expected it to be very competitive with West Carter being in contention for a district title most years. Either I overestimated the other schools, or I underestimated West Carter.

I expect it to be much more competitive in 2021 and 2022.

This one has been cancelled.
