Great defensive effort by both teams. Two of St. X scores was off Punt return and a pick 6.

Do the Purples miss the coach on the other sideline? 

[LongTimeReader]

Good win for the Tigers!

[Brown]

Nice win about how I thought it would go.

Purple defense is legit as is X defense

I agree. The BG defensive line is very good. BG offense makes to many costly errors with bad snaps and penalties and a TD drop in the end zone on 4th down. St. X had some success through the air. It seemed BG game plan was to stop Sivori from running and make him beat them through the air.

Sounds like a pretty good plan.

Mine too.  The question is, is your team good enough to do it.

Interested in how Boyle County and X compare?

I thought this was a 28-7 game all week. And from what it sounded like it should have been that. 
Hopefully, no injuries for either team. 
I’m not even touching the coaching comment. Nice fishing expedition.

Just checked updated RPI and Male #1 and St. X #2 so St. X will have home field throughout the playoffs. St. X will have to get by Manual in 2nd round and looks like 3rd round opponent would be Daviess County.

BG defense is always stout, and the years where St. X has been able to run the ball on them is when St. X has the distinct size advantage. BG and X are similar in size and BG's DL is more active so caused the X OL some issues. Thought X did well in the passing game; you can see they've become more comfortable with that aspect of the offense as the year has progressed. X defense played well, got good pressure on the QB consistently. Thought #97 for X played very well. 

On to the next part of the season. Good luck to the Purples and Tigers!
