The Tigers overcame 4 first half turnovers to get the win. St. X defense played well tonight and held a good Bowling Green offense to one touchdown.

Congratulations to St X. Definitely the better team tonight. 
Pretty disappointing as a BG fan. 
St Xs DLne dominated this game. Hats off the them they are very good unit. 
 

Good luck the rest of the way Tigers. 
For BG, regroup and get ready to compete. Felt they felt sorry for themselves late in the game.   Still a lot to play for. 
Go Purples.

Nice win on the road for X.

Good win for St. X headed the right way going into the playoffs.

So does BG move up in the 5A rankings due to another kind of close loss?

 

After QB Trevor Havill threw two interceptions in 1st half which gives him 7 on the season, QB Thomas Andriole played 2nd half and played well. I assume Havill will be starting against Oldham County next Friday but something to keep an eye on.

Congrats X.  Purples have to forget this game and effort.  They are one of the top 2 teams in 5A.  State Championship still the goal.

Wow, St. X held BG to 74 total yards. I wouldn't have expected that before the game.

Good win for X heading into playoffs.
 

Absolutely shocked the high octane offense of BG only put up 12. Did they have some injuries?

Not to my knowledge. 

Simply put, X defense got the better of the Purples last night. I was proud of the way the Bowling Green defense performed given the circumstances. If you would have told me before the game that X was going to have four turnovers to BG's zero, I would have told you Bowling Green won going away. Alas, the Tigers have the last laugh.

Congrats to X on a well deserved win.

Question here for the BG fans, does Huddleston have some nagging injury? I thought he would be a key cog in the offense this season after his terrific play last year, but his involvement seems to be VERY limited this year. 

Huddleston has had a multitude of injuries over the course of the season. I believe some of it is getting over the mental hump. That's obviously just my opinion, and I'm sure if you asked him, he would tell you he wants to be on the same level or better than he was a season ago more than anyone else.

They would have probably dropped in the rankings if BG had won.

Game went about like I thought. I had it 35-24 St. X.

BG has major problems up front on both sides of the ball. But particularly the OL. The offense just hasn’t looked good the last few games.

The BG defense has improved after some changes and experience.

But BG’s OL has been bad last year and this year. Not sure if they just aren’t very good, have changed the way play, or just have some wrong personnel in wrong places.

BG can’t run the football which is not normal.  They can’t protect Deuce either against good upfronts.  They’ve got issues for some reason.

St. X had four turnovers….FOUR……and BG could only muster 12 points.  Not good.

The good news is BG won’t see a team with dl/ol dudes like St. X again this season.  South is close and they dominated upfront in that game against BG.

BG had a couple of injuries which they couldn’t afford. Another reason I’m not a huge fan of scheduling these big games at the last game of the season.

BG has some work to do, but should make a deep run in the playoffs and is one of a few teams that can win the state championship.  Just got to get some things figured out.
