Fern Creek makes the 7.5 mile trek to Mt. Washington this Friday night for the district opener for both teams.  

Bullitt East come into the game after their bye week with a 3-3 record winning the games they should have won and losing the ones they probably should have lost maybe except for Franklin Co.  BE has lost their QB in games twice this year to injury but I think he's ready to go for Fern Creek.  East has run the ball pretty well this year with the exception of the Boyle and Manual games.  I think they should be able to run the ball this week.  Although Fern Creek does better against the run than they do the pass so we shall see what the Chargers try to do come Friday.

Fern Creek, because of their new field being built has played every game this year at their opponents' stadium.  I think that's been tough on FC.  They also lost their starting qb to be to transfer before the season started.  FC has struggled to move the ball this year but plat pretty good D.  I like their HC and think he does a pretty good job but this year has been a challenge.  

In season where I thought East should win by 3 scores or more, they didn't.  FC ALWAYS plays East as well as anyone on their schedule.  Maybe it's because the schools are only 7.5 miles apart.  Not sure, but they always show up for this game, and I expect nothing else this season.  

These teams are 5-5 since 2001 with East winning three straight before losing in OT last season.  

I'll take East by a score.  

I think FC is bigger rival than the other Bullitt schools. I'll take Bullitt East in a competitive game.

I feel bad for the Fern Creek Seniors.

I agree @Purple88.  I've heard that they will play their last three games at home though.  Will host Male for the christening of the turf on Oct. 17th, then Southern and ending the regular season with CAL at home also.  Still tough.  

Bump.
