Soaring Cardinals Try To Keep Bulldogs On A Leash

Records: Scott County (3-0) | Dunbar (1-3)

BGP Ranking: Scott County (#9 in 5A)

Series History: Scott County leads 20-8 all-time

Table Setter: Scott County continues to buck expectations this season, at least for those outside of Georgetown. The comeback Cardinals rallied from a three score deficit in the second half to beat Bryan Station in Week 4. Defense is where they've shone brightest this year, allowing just 161 yards and 14 points per game.

In that regard, the timing of this game is all wrong for Dunbar, who has struggled offensively the last two weeks. The schedule is beginning to catch up with the Bulldogs since the season opening win over still winless East Jessamine. They've dropped three straight against Madison Central, Woodford County, and Frederick Douglass, the last two in blowout fashion.

Scott County has been heavy handed in its command of Dunbar over the last fifteen years. The Cardinals have outscored the Dawgs a combined 600-82 during their current fourteen game win streak in the series.

Scott Co. leads 27-6 at halftime.

Scott Co. went up 34-6 early in the 3rd quarter, but Dunbar has come back and cut it to 34-20 at the start of the 4th quarter.

Scott Co. answers back with back to back touchdowns to now lead 48-20.

Dunbar answers back with another touchdown to cut the Cardinal lead to 48-37 with a little over 3 minutes to play.
