Daviess County (2-2) travels to Henderson County (2-1) tonight.  This game could decide a home playoff game.  Last years regular season contest was an instant classic that saw Daviess County pull out overtime win.  It was the Panthers first win against Henderson in a decade.  Henderson was able to get revenge a few weeks later in the playoffs, winning 36-16.

Apollo rushed for almost 200 last week against the Henderson defense which should open the door for Sophomore RB Brycen Parm.  Parm is averaging over 100 rush per game and has 5 touchdowns on the season.  Panther QB Joe Humphries is a very underrated athlete and is not only putting up about 245 yards passing per game, he also averages about 80 on the ground with a 10/1 touchdown to interception ratio.  They will need to protect him better than their last outing against McCracken however.  Henderson features 2 great pass rushers in Layton Fletcher and Saadiq Clement.

Daviess County was gashed in the run game by McCracken in their last outing and will be tested tonight by a Henderson offensve that averages right out 200 yards rushing per game. Quarterback Ben Dalton leads the team in rushing with 87 yards per game. Sophomore Jahiem Williams has been a game breaker thus far in limited carries.  He is putting up about 70 yards rushing per contest, while averaging right at 16 yards per carry.  Jordan Wright led the Colonels 2nd half comeback against Apollo last week and will get the bulk of the carries tonight.

This should be one of the more interesting games of the week, two very even teams.

Daviess not a great defense.  Humphries hit everything against Owensboro but missed a lot vs McCracken.  Which DC offense will show up?  Hendo like to muddy up a game so DC needs to take advantage of any opportunity.  In the end if DC is hitting on all cylinders they get the win.

 

DC 35-28
