6th year running for the J. Allen Builders Bowl, the host team Warren East is sitting at 3-2 and hoping to add another one Friday night as well as starting the Foley era with a win.

Ohio County is bringing along a new face of the program in Coach Holsclaw. The numbers are up which has been an issue for a school of their size for quite some time. I’d say that’s a good start in hopes to get this program going in the right direction.

Do I think the Eagles will win? Probably not, the hire wasn’t until mid May and I don’t believe they have the guys to run with the Raiders in what I’ve seen during the preseason. Both teams finished 2-8 last year so I’m not sure what the expectations are with the turnover in these programs. Prolonged disappointment in Ohio County football compared to the first missed playoffs for the Raiders in a decade helped make my prediction.

Warren East wins 34-7

Go Raiders!

If WE don’t win this game it’s going to be a long season. Give me the Raiders by 4 scores.

The Foley era starts off 1-0.

Pretty strong showing after an almost 9pm kickoff for the Raiders. Coach Foley and the Offense looked explosive with a plethora of RB and WR who can run after the catch. Defensively that Coach Parmley from Glasgow seems to have the kids buying into flying to the football as they had some turnovers and nearly had a safety on three different possessions. Ohio County was in better shape than years past. Warren East will have a large and daunting test next week when they take on a cross town rival Greenwood.

Final score 35-0 finished the running clock at the end of the third.
