Rockets Try To Sew Up Outright District Title In Barbourville

Records: Rock (7-1) | Knox (5-3)

BGP Rankings: Rock (#9 in 3A)

Week 9 Results: Rock beat McCreary Central | Knox beat Clay County 

Series History: Rock leads 20-15 all-time 

Teaser Preview: Look for fireworks in Barbourville as the state's #1 scoring offense arrives to meet the singular offensive force of Steve Partin.

On an average Friday night, Rockcastle County drops 50.6 points on the opposition behind a balanced offensive attack. Tucker Warren makes the throws while also leading a quartet of primary ball carriers that averages over eight yards per carry. Caleb Moore and Christian Larkey are the main targets in the passing game.

Partin doesn't take the field alone. He has help, but the Yale commit is without question the accelerator that propels the Panthers forward. He'll have a lot on his plate, doubling as Knox Central's top defender. 

Partin may be spread too thin, with a heavy workload awaiting him and a plethora of weapons to account for when Rock has the ball.

Rock will win but Knox will score some. Rock 48 Knox 21

Bump.

This is my thought, too. Knox Central has scored on just about everyone while Rockcastle has allowed quite a few points to the good opponents on the schedule. I could see this one being a little closer than your prediction, especially being played at Knox. I'll say Rockcastle County 49 Knox Central 32.
