5A Bowling Green (2-4) at 5A Warren Central (1-5)

I show my age in this thread, as this was "THE Rivalry' I experienced growing up - Bowling Green vs Warren Central.  It was "The Game' and meant everything in town at that time.  And now that I have more grey hair than I want, I have a respectful place in my mind for the Dragons for those old battles back in the day.  But those days are gone.

Bowling Green Purples Information - (TP94 Rating: 61.53)

In the past 2 seasons, BG is 1-10 in non-district games losing by a combined score of BG 137 vs Opponent 401 or roughly 36-12 loss.  In the RPI world, that is unsustainable.  Hosting playoff games matters and seeking that advantage is important.

Last week, Bowling Green fell to CAL by a score of 70-21.  BG was defeated by Paducah Tilghman 70-0 in 1969; the only other time anyone scored that many points on BG ever was 57 years ago. These past two seasons have brought decades old records into the picture.

Game Preview

For Warren Central, just go for it; you have nothing to lose.

For BG, you have to wonder where the players confidence is at this stage of the season.

BG is the better team on paper, but we will see.

Thursday Night football before Fall Break!

Who wins this old rivalry and why?

While it pains me a little to do so, I'm picking WC for the upset win.

Hard to even read these facts of the current state of the program. Again, about 19 games ago we were back to back 5A state champs.

We have to pull out of this defensive craziness. It's not even a slump. It's broken.

BG could still play their JV guys and beat this team. BG sends the revenge from last night and wins 56-7.
