I would like to see Southwestern win in the interest of some different semi-final matchups, but FD has four ballers on offense. Just like last year, if Southwestern wants to win they will have to keep the ball out of FD’s hands and make it a slugfest.

The game is now listed to kick at 7:30 instead of 7 on the KHSAA. 

Davis Joyner being out is a huge loss for FD. This seems like the year Pulaski Southwestern gets over the hump.

In addition to three other starters SMH. Youngins are going to have to step up.

You aren't playing possum are you?  I'd be shocked to see FD down four starters. 

 

I think SW can adjust in-game in this matchup slightly better than FD. If it is a close game, that matters. It is up to SW to keep it manageable so that adjustments matter. I like SW 28-21

Next man up.

Whoever controls the LOS and wins the turnover battle will win this game. 

Bump.

FD marches down after the initial onside kick from the Warriors.

 

7-0 FD

SW punts, followed by a FD punt:

Bad snap on the punt leads to a funky line drive kick that bounces off a Warrior about 15 yards down field and Douglass recovers. 
 

However, ball is ruled Southwestern’s.  Weird rule here.

Still 7-0 FD 4:30 left in the first

7-0 FD at the end of the first. FD ball on their own 38, 2&7

TD Freddie D on a read play 

 

14-0 FD    11 minutes left in the 2nd.

 

Looking like it could get ugly.
