Another year and another 2nd round playoff matchup between these two teams. Logan County has had success against Hopkinsville in the regular season but that hasn’t translated to playoff success losing 43-8 in 2017 and 42-20 in 2020, both playoff games at Logan. 
 

These two teams played a thriller in week 6 with Logan Scoring with 1:41 left and surviving a missed Tiger FG attempt as time expired to win 13-12. 
 

Logan County comes off of a 42-24 win over Madisonville in round 1 and are led by an underrated defense and physical running game. Logan averages 30ppg on Offense while allowing 17ppg on defense. They are led by extremely underrated Athlete Wyatt Blake who does a little of everything for the Cougars.
 

Hopkinsville comes off a 52-14 win over Hopkins Central and are winners of 5 in a row since that loss to Logan County. They are also led by a stingy defense and have one of the best players in the state regardless of class in Junior Ath Daisjaun Mercer. The Tigers average 29ppg on offense while giving up 13ppg on defense. 
 

Will the third time be the charm for Logan County and they advance to their first regional final in their programs history? Or will the Tigers continue the trend of peaking come playoff time and advance to their 3rd regional final appearance in the last 5 years?

I'm really not sure who to pick in this game.  Both teams are capable of winning.  Logan County at home should give them an edge, but Hoptown won't be deterred by that.  One of the better under the radar games in the state this week! 

Coach Adler does a super job, however the Tigers will get a convincing W.

I think Hopkinsville has improved more as the season goes on and I think they win pretty easily 38-7.

Turnovers will decide this game. Hopkinsville was very upset the game officials as several calls were very questionable.  They should have the advantage but Logan is always prepared and it is at their place!  Hopkinsville by 14!

I would be surprised at that score from either team. I think this one will be a tight game. 

Been hearing Adler’s name on the short list for the new Mega school. If he can pull this one out it could be big?

Adler would be a good choice. 

Probably will depend if he wants to move?

Logan turns over on downs after a clock eating drive. Hip town has it at their own 35 with just under 4 minutes left. 

Mercer hauls one in from 33 yards but the 2 pt conversion fails.
