St. X (2-5) travels to North Hardin (4-2) with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 pm. St. X is coming off a 36-10 loss to Manual, and North Hardin is coming off a 49-7 win over Pleasure Ridge Park.

Last year, St. X won 40-7.

If St. X were a racehorse, they would be coming off 4 big stake races where they were beaten by several lengths in all of them but now are dropping down in class with the rest of the district, but sometimes a horse that drops down in class can still get beat. North Hardin galloped around PRP and is ready to see if they can beat the beaten-up stakes horse.

It's been a while since the St. X offense has scored more than 10 points. North Hardin against the quality opponents of Oldham County and Pulaski County gave up 51 points to Pulaski County and 35 to Oldham County. St. X should be able to generate some offense in this game. North Hardin scored 36 and 49 in their last two games against Oldham County and PRP so the St. X defense will need to be ready.

The TP94 ratings:

St. X 76.66

North Hardin 46.17

North Hardin struggles mightily against a decent running attack.

St. X wins big.

In this article it says penalties have been a recurring problem for North Hardin and they had several against PRP.

You know what you will get with North Hardin. They will have the best athletes in the county but are undisciplined and make a ton of mistakes.

I think this will be a good game to gauge whether St. X after 4 losses has packed in for the season or are hungry for a win.

If the Tigers drop this game, Coach Landis should immediately return to Georgia and begin looking for new work.

I don't think they will lose this game but if did would be some serious heat on Coach Landis.

I think he's guaranteed to have a 2nd year but a loss to North Hardin would really make people question if made right hire. I knew this year probably wouldn't be good but didn't think would be this bad. Several sophomores played against Manual so should return several starters next year so if don't look good next year then probably for sure a coaching issue.

“Guaranteed” is a strong word.

Is it fair to say you won't be sending Landis any Christmas cards this year? Lol.

If it's even close, there are bigger issues on Poplar Level Road than we all think.
