Who wins, I say McCracken County.

Murray will give them a game give me the Tigers. 

I’m going with McCracken!

This is a good unusual match up, another good test for Murray as they start to get ready for district. Not sure if Murray has ever played McCracken before but I am going with the upset if that's what you call it...so I'm taking Murray in a close one...

This will be the first meeting between the Mustangs and the Tigers. 

McCracken (3-2) will wrap up their 2A district 1 schedule on Friday going 2-1 so far, respectively.  They have beaten the teams they are expected to win and also lost to the teams they expected to lose. QB O'Neal has been driving this years success throwing 264 yards/game in wins while managing 105 yards/game in their losses. 

Murray (4-1) has done the same thing.  They've beaten the teams they are supposed to beat and lost to a very solid Union team on a very unusual Saturday night.  The Tigers have given up 113 yards/game passing through 4 games. Their game vs Fulton Co was a forfeit and not computed into the average.

This is the first true test for the Murray secondary that boast 3 division 1 talents.  McCracken will have the advantage in the trenches with size but they have not dominated as expected.  Mustang defense is giving up 26 pts/game, the Tigers 17.  It should be one of the better games in WKY this week.

Interesting game. I think Murray has the potential to be a really solid team. They have a couple of the best athletes in the area who are both 6’5 plus. They have to execute and take advantage of that. They can’t afford to score 7 like they did against Union and  have success. 
 

Mccracken is hard to read. I think they are decent. It’s hard to judge a team vs Mayfield and PT. It’s also hard to judge against average to below average 2a teams. They will have a size and numbers advantage against Murray. IMO this will all come down to execution by both teams.

I expect a close game with Murray having a few more explosive plays.

That part about Mustangs wrapping up their 2A District 1 schedule made me chuckle inside.  Thanks very much for that.

Bump.

Funny and true as they start to rebuild hopefully. 

I'll take McCracken by a touchdown. 

Murray will put on a display after an unforeseen bye week.  I'll take the Tigers

35-14

Give me Murray by 21 lots of size and athletes 

Any updates on score?

McCracken was up 21-17 at halftime. I'll see what's going on. 

Murray leading the way as far as stats go, McCracken with a pick-six late in the 2nd qtr. Murray with 3 first half turnovers. That's the story of the game. Murray 14 1st half 1st downs to McCracken's 7.
