So with this being a rebuild year for O, is it fair to say the Devils heavily overachieved this year already? They seem to be destined for at minimum a game on Thanksgiving weekend.

Yes and no. I’d say more of finally playing up to their talent level. Even though young, O has some players. This is how I feel they should have been playing from game 1.

I think this is fair to say as an O fan, but it's taken BG from last year to last Friday to get their defensive group where they need to be.  They lost 8 guys off that State Runner up team and it takes awhile to move the pieces around to work.

I think the same thing is true for Owensboro.  They had to move some things around and now they are working.

Thank you Owensboro.

I've been MIA with a lot of KWC stuff this weekend but I had to stop in to this thread and say congrats to the Devils.  If I can call the OHS program out for the lack of wins like this, I have to give credit when they get one.  Following it from a distance, it sounded like they executed a tremendous game plan.  Coach Fallin and his staff deserve a ton of credit.  I was told by a lot of people that Winstead at MLB was a big difference maker for the Owensboro defense.  That's the thing about the Devils.  They have talent everywhere and sometimes a slight adjustment here or there can move the needle big time.  Look's like we're going to have 2 teams in the city with deep playoff runs to cover!  That's always a treat.  Congrats to all the Devils faithful who I was told were VERY loud on Friday!

I just hate when OHS lost to Madisonville some of the fans gave up and were already talking about next year.... I believed in this OHS team to make a strong run in the playoffs

I’ll be honest I wrote the Devils off and was already looking forward to next season(still am with all we have returning). But always had a slither of hope we could get it done.. Don’t get me wrong Madisonville is a decent program but no way we shouldn’t have won that game by a few scores. So when games like that happen it’s hard not to be hard on your team when you known they are better than what they have shown.

I think most Red Devil fans felt there needed to be some changes made on defense or there wouldn't be a deep playoff run. The staff made some changes....
