My prediction is only Bell County remains after this week. 

I agree but I'm hoping Middlesboro can make it one more week.  

Is Middlesboros D like 1998? I have them winning Friday night.

It can't be that good. They gave up 34 to Harrison County.

No chance. 

That Middlesboro team would running clock win 1A this year. 

Now that we’ve discussed ticket prices & Corbin.. What does Highlands need to do this week to come out on top? 

They’ve been on a roll offensively scoring 35 or more in their last 4 games - most of that being done with starters not playing the entire game. 
 

Defensively they’ve been maybe even more impressive of late. Or, maybe I’d label it as better than expected compared to the first half of the year. Regardless, I think if they can eliminate the big plays, Highlands will roll. 

Now that is a poll result 117-15.

I said previously but will say again.  I definitely think Highlands wins this game, but I don't think it will be as easy as some other think.

My concerns are what they have been all year and are all the more important now in week 3 of playoffs.  1) Playcalling - been improved over last 6 plus weeks, but importance is amplified at this stage of playoffs.  2) Pass coverage - this team is susceptible to routes run in the seams deep.  3) Return game - does not appear to be any type of scheme to potentially break one.

With all of that said, they have played a tough schedule and have a good record to show for it.  Work on the edges defensively has been really solid and tackling has improved.  QB has realized that not all passes have to be a homerun and results show that.  
 

At the end of the day, as 22 goes so go the Birds.  Kid has what you cannot teach, but the team rallies around is competitiveness and energy.  Good luck to both teams and the Blue Colonels.

 

I like Highland's in a close game. Homefield advantage for Highlands and a long drive there for Corbin makes the difference. Bluebirds by 7.

Is there a way to listen to audio of this game online for free? I will be driving cross country. 

The thought of this game makes me crave KFC.

Bump.
