One of my favorite matchups in the Western Kentucky area this week. 
 

Huge implications as the winner of this game will secure the #2 seed while the loser will be hitting the road as the #3 seed. 
 

How healthy is Parsley will be the question in this game. He is a game-changer on both sides of the ball. If he is limited it will affect Warren East tremendously. 
 

Logan County is a tough place to play at and they are coming in after a closer than expected 28-27 win over Hopkinsville last Friday. Davin Yates is their go to player. He is another valuable 2-way player and limiting him will be key for Warren East. 

If Parsley is out, I give the Raiders very little chance.

If he's in, I actually like WE to pull it off. Only seeing Logan once, I think East has more threats than they do. 

 

 

LOGAN

Raiders QB/FS Dane Parsley (JR) tweaked a hamstring in the 1H last week, came out in the 2H with no pads on and a bad limp, not a good sign for one of the better football players in the SOKY area. Unsure of his status as of right now for tomorrow evening, may have an update later this evening but if he does play it’s a guarantee he won’t be 100% and without the explosiveness he brings to both sides of the ball, more importantly offensively, the Raiders will have a hard time getting anything productive going. To add to this he is also the punter and has done a really good job of flipping the field. 

Logan County has to come out and put the metal to the pedal and sink the ship early, if they let this Warren East team hang around I do believe they have the better athletes across the board and could pull out a win on the road.

Logan Co 35 WE 14

Logan County would have been my pick in any case, but if Parsley isn’t 100%, I become that much more confident.

Not saying that’s the wrong line of thinking, but I am curious to hear as to why. 
One of those cases where comparative scores don’t mean much?

Somewhat it's a hunch.  The two share a lot of common opponents, so comparative scores only go so far.  East did better against Hopkinsville and ACS.  Logan County was much better against both Warren Central and Greenwood.  And narrowly "better" against Calloway County and Paducah Tilghman.  So one could probably shape the narrative from those games any way they chose.  Just a bit of a gut feeling on choosing Logan County.

Bump.

I'm going with Logan, but will not be surprised either way. After seeing them both, it seems very close and should be a good game. Both teams have enough playmakers to get things done. I will be following this one as much as I can. 

Hearing Parsley is out. Bummer.
