John Hardin (2-2), comes into this matchup on the heels of a 40-3 loss at Fairdale. Marion County (1-3), comes into this matchup losing to W.E.B. DuBois Academy, 41-6. Both teams have played Fairdale with Marion County losing in week 2, 44-27. The Bulldog defense was thought to be the strong point of this team early in the season but has not played well over the past 2 weeks.

This game should be a pretty evenly matched game with undoubtedly, the team making the fewest mistakes, coming out on top.

Marion County relies heavily on the run game. Senior RBs Dee Thornton, Nathan Shuck, and Xavier Hayden all pose problems for a John Hardin defense that has given up 88 points in the last 2 games.

My Prediction: Marion County 36 John Hardin 32

John Hardin needs to fix the O-line so their Defense don't spend to much time on the field.
