6A Castaways Looking To Notch Another Mile On Redemption Road

Records: Station (1-2) | Ballard (2-1)

BGP Rankings: Station (#9 in 6A) | Ballard (#6 in 6A)

Week 3 Results: Station beat Bowling Green 38-35 | Ballard beat PRP 49-22

Series History: Ballard leads 2-0 all-time 

Burning Question: Can the Defenders or Bruins get back in the 'big school' title picture? Station stumbled out of the blocks again, getting rocked by Trinity and dropped by Franklin County in the first two weeks. Week 3's exhilarating, last second win over top ranked Bowling Green could serve as a perfect momentum builder. Ballard fell a notch or two in the 6A pecking order after struggling to gain traction offensively against Male two weeks ago. The Bruins ironed out some kinks while hanging 49 points on a PRP team that knocked off reigning 6A champions Bullitt East the previous week. The winner here grabs another rung on the ladder back to 6A contention.

Relevant Stat: Station hasn't won a game on Louisville soil since 2009.

I think both of these teams are much better than people think. Station started off slow, but bounced back strongly when they beat a very good Bowling Green team who is one of the best teams in 5A. Ballard has two solid wins against PRP and 5A Southwestern, but lost in a drumming to Male. For what it’s worth, I believe those two teams are much closer than that game made it seem. The contest was stopped due to storms after Ballard seemed to have momentum early in the first half, and was restarted early the next morning. Not easy to get a true reading on that one if you ask me. 

 

With all of that out of the way, I think Ballard takes this one at home. However, I would not be surprised if Station won and shook some things up even more than they already are in 6A. 
 

I legitimately believe any 6A team in the top 10 can beat anyone in the state on any given Friday. 

 

I am rolling with the Bruins. 

Ballard- 28

Station- 24

I'll go with Ballard in a close one but looks like a close game that could go either way.

I think Ballard wins, While bowling green is a good team, they just give up alot of point most the time they play. I thin  Ballard will take away the run, making station struggle. 

Station is a wild card team to me. Not sure how they match up with Ballard but could turn out to be a close one. 

Bump.
