Somerset travels across town to take on Southwestern is a crosstown rivalry game. The 2 programs come into the game going in vastly different directions. The Briar Jumpers are 2-0 on the season with 2 running clock wins over Wayne County and South Laurel. They are 13-2 since the beginning of last season. The Warriors meanwhile come in 0-2 after dropping a competitive game to Glasgow, before getting pounded by Campbell County. Southwestern is now 1-12 since the beginning of 2025. Coach Mark Payne came in to right the ship at Southwestern, but he has found it to be tough sledding. Somerset meanwhile, has put up 42 points in each of their first 2 games. Six different players have already scored touchdowns for the Briar Jumpers. Meanwhile, their starting defense has only surrendered a single touchdown, with that coming in the first half of the game with South Laurel. This matchup seems to have all the makings of another running clock in Somerset's favor. But, this is a rivalry game, and weird things tend to happen in those. Who takes this one and why?

Definitely going with Somerset in this one. I'm way more interested in how they will do the following Friday night against Ironton. We all see how good Somerset has looked so far, but I believe the Ironton game will tell us just how good they are.
