For all the injuries and struggles Scott County experienced throughout the year, they were able to end right where they were last season, at least when it comes to their opening round opponent. The Cardinals (5-5) host the Conner Cougars (7-3). Last year Scott County sent the Cougars packing by a tune of 63-13. However, this season finds that gap between the two, at least on paper, greatly diminished. 

Both teams are run dominant on the offensive side of the ball. Conner’s Wyatt Hatfield has 22 rushing touchdowns and averages over 130 rushing yards per game. Scott County has 4 credible rushing threats, led by Ali Hamdiyah.

Both defensive squads have let the flood gates open at times to strong offenses. Scott County has let their opponent get over 30 four times and Conner has had that happen to them four times as well, including all three of their losses. 
 

Scott County comes in banged up but with their various weapons they probably have the edge. However, I think this will definitely be one to keep an eye on.

 

This game is interesting.  Scott County lost two absolute battles against Woodford and LexCath to end the regular season.  

The Conner Cougars are all rested up and they are a solid football team. 

Here are last week's TP94 Power Ratings:

Scott County 76.89
Conner 67.87

Bump.

Friday against Lex Cath Scott County appeared to sustain a couple more injuries. Their leading rb #26 went out with injury and did not return. Also #14 tried to play but did not appear to be 100%.  Buddy Collins (#5) did play Friday and made a couple impact plays on the offensive side. If Scott County is 100% this week, I don't see them losing to Conner, though I do think they will struggle against Conner's offensive attack. If they're as banged up as they seem to be, they could be in for another battle like they just faced with Lex Cath. 

We are looking forward to this one!!! #BigThings  

Is Connor's QB banged up. I heard he might  not be 100%. If he's not 100% that could hurt their offense too

If you love a good old fashioned phone booth game, this one might scratch that itch. 

I don't like what I'm seeing from Scott County's defense at the moment, but I'm not sure that Conner has the explosiveness to beat the Cards in a high scoring game. The numbers definitely don't support it.

Give me Scott County in the neighborhood of 42-21.
