These two programs have been battling one another for a long time, it’s been about a split. Usually a matchup that gets very chippy and you can guarantee it’ll be physical.

The Raiders (1-5) are coming off a loss to Franklin Simpson, they had opportunities to win but never seemed to capitalize when they needed to. 
 

The Patriots (0-6) may not win a game this season. There could be many factors that can go into why that is but respectfully as one can be, the team is just not very good. You can usually bank on ACS to have a few good lineman and a skilled back or two but there is nothing going on here. Surely they’ll be able to find the endzone a couple of times against a leaky Raiders defense to give themselves some sort of confidence moving forward.

We’re more than likely looking at the 5th and 6th seeds of 4AD1, but even though these two teams may not be competitive in terms of noise in November I am hoping for an exciting game nonetheless. At least a big Raiders victory because like the Patriots their schedule doesn’t seem to present many more chances to check the win column.

Was just checking some #’s on the KHSAA website and it looks like Warren East has an interim coach, Greg Howard. Former Logan County AD, I do believe he has been working for WCPS as of late, unsure of his job title other than he’s the coach of these Raiders now.

Makes this game a little more interesting, and depending on how this group of kids accept a brand new face in the middle of the year brings a new dynamic. I think the Patriots will keep it closer than I predicted above. I understand the staff that was left behind after Coach Hall’s dismissal was very inexperienced but a 3rd person making the decisions in a span of 6-7 weeks just sounds like a bad idea yet so very fitting for this program. Tough way to go out for a group of SR’s who were able to be apart of some winning football teams.

Howard is the full on Warren County Public Schools Athletic Director, so him zeroing in to be interim for an individual school is to put it mildly, odd.  I would think his duties would suffer in at least one of those jobs, if not both.  He's also the president of the KHSAA BOC.

I feel like this is one of Allen’s last chances to win a game. I think they still play Calloway so they might have a chance in that game however their chances are dwindling and if they don’t want to go winless they probably need to get it done tonight. However I don’t think they will I believe WE wins by a couple scores.

0-0 End 1Q

Raiders have the ball and are driving to end the quarter. Been a lot of penalties on both teams in this first 12 minutes.

HALF
8-6 Raiders

ACS ball out of the break, Raiders scored on a Lightfoot TD. Patriots had a long drive that ate up the majority of the 2Q and Grainger hauled in the score.

Entertaining enough so far. A LOT of penalties. 

Teams swap a couple of turnovers in the first few minutes of the 3Q.
 

One of the best hustle plays I’ve seen in long time from Grainger of the Patriots.
 

First play of the 3rd drive of the half ACS fumbles in the endzone and the Raiders score.

Entertaining indeed @DragonFire

15-6 Raiders 9:03 3Q

 

 

 

Nothing to lose I suppose. Patriots just went for it at their own 30 yard line on a 4th and long. This one could get ugly.

14 yd Lightfoot TD. 2pt conversion is GOOD.

23-6 6:06 4Q

Game got ugly in a hurry. I just don’t see anything positive for Allen County-Scottsville. 

23-14 Raiders 9:21 4Q

For the life of me I couldn’t tell what Allen County did to get a personal foul on that two point conversion. Kid caught it, got tackled out of bounds, flag comes out. Weird.

They’ve been flag happy from the kickoff, I guess they just didn’t want the game to get out of hand. This matchup has been known to produce some extracurricular activity.
