Southwestern at Simon Kenton Predictions/Updates (9/3)

[Voice of Reason]

The added thought now is - what does this say about Highlands? Southwestern is 5A and they are handling a team that beat Highlands last week.

Just saw your post above. Looks like we are thinking the same thoughts.

What's surprising? Southwestern hung 62 points on Simon Kenton last year, and only had to throw 8 passes.  They ran for 392 yards and 6 touchdowns in that game.  Highlands gashed them for 200 yards and 4 touchdowns last week. Their run defense is shaky at best.  I was surprised that Simon Kenton got out to a lead.  

Agree, you had to expect this from Southwestern. Thought SK could keep pace but an injury and the rained hurt them a bit.

 

SK is solid, but they got gorged by Highlands. And SW is MUCH better than Highlands.

Highlands is well down in the 5A pecking order.  Same story that it's been for awhile now.

What is the injury you are referring to?

I think I picked it as 42-28 SW earlier in the thread. Pretty close on SW, Simon Kenton's offense wasn't as good as I thought.

Southwestern is tough. They would definitely have touched at least one Final Four if they didn't have to play Douglass every year.

Crone got hurt. That came into play for sure.

Do we have any idea how serious it may be?  He is basically their team.

Sounds like SK coaches went over to the St. C festival during rain delay.  

I can confirm they were a section over from me at the Connor/Dixie game last night.
