The Dragons roll into Taylor County looking to right the ship after a tough loss against Hart County, that saw the Dragons have multiple turnovers, at least 10-15 penalties and not score 4 times while inside of the redzone. These are mistakes that the Dragons must fix if they expect to win district and compete with the top teams in class 2A. I also want to commend Hart County, they made the plays when they needed them, and played a very good and smart game. The have some really nice players and play hard and fast. I really like the Hart team and I expect them to finish the year with at least 7 wins. I was out of town during the game and was unable to watch in person, but did catch clips from fans and friends of the game, and it looked like a great game to have been at, even if the Dragons didn't play one of there best games. The Dragons also lost two starting linemen during the Hart County game and I hear the line play really suffered after having to shift some kids around and having to play some young guys. I think with an extra week, those young men will do fine and build from the last game. 

Taylor County looks to stop the bleeding themselves after losing two straight. Taylor was without standout running back Payton Smith against Spencer County, as he was injured during the third quarter of the Larue County game, if he is unable to go again, Taylor will have to rely on a committee approach at running back and have them run behind that big offensive line. If Smith plays, Taylor is an entirely different animal and can score in bunches, if he doesn't, that surely helps the Dragons in trying to win this game. 

This should be a great game again, that will test the resolve of both teams, and should be a game of great running backs all over the field. 

What's your thought and predictions of this game? Give me the Dragons in a close one, 34 to 32. 

I’m not sure exactly which team is better but I think I’m going with Green 34-19.

Both teams have been a little disappointing compared to last year. However, I think they are both good clubs and this should be a good game. I’ll take Green County in a close one. 

While the loss of Smith is a problem, the bigger Taylor County issue appears to be stopping anything. Green by two scores.

This game is gonna depends on a few things. Does Green co find the awnser on defense? Does Smith start and play? 

 

If smith doesn't play I don't think this game will be close 42 to 14 Green

If smith plays its gonna be a hard fought battle. I'm still thinking Green at 42 to 41.

I’m not sure Smith is good enough to make a 4 touchdown difference but I do agree with him it will probably be fairly close but without him Green probably wins by a couple scores.

TC is just not there defensively in my opinion. I think Green County wins regardless of TC’s player availability. 
 

I think the Dragons are very close to breaking out soon. I believe in this team a lot.

I'm going with Green in this one.

Green is struggling finding identity on defense. Smith is a special kid may be a little far fetched on 4 score difference but I do believe he makes taylor county a two to three score better team. 

No Smith?

 

Gotta be Green 35-14.

 

Smith 35-34 Taylor.

Smith is a man and the real deal.

If #21 plays for Taylor and is healthy, Give me Taylor County by 2 scores. If #21 doesn't play or is not healthy, give me Green County by 2 scores.... 

Appreciate your opinion on the game but we will have to agree to disagree. Smith can be a difference maker as far as making it a close game. But he isn't to the caliber to make it close plus two or three touchdown for Taylor Co. However proof is there showing it makes Taylor 2 or 3 touchdowns behind if he dosent play. 

Green probably is a top team with the most tanleted players in our area. Them finding there identity on defense and how long it takes will be key. The low amount of players avalible is up from last year but far less then most teams we will play.
