5A JH is undefeated. 6A Nelson County is 4-4. However, the Cardinals have won three straight and scored 50+ points in each of those three games. They have the added motivation of playing the team that knocked them from the playoffs last season, in a first-round thriller. Nelson has also had two weeks to prepare for the Bulldogs. Is this an upset special, or is it just pie in the sky?

John Hardin 28-14.

John Hardin could struggle early, but the Dawgs will turn it around in the second half.

JH is just plain talented. NC playing better. JH 34-18

This game will be played in a playoff atmosphere, Nelson Co. is on a roll and looking to revenge last years playoff lost. John Hardin has played very sporadic over the last couple of games against weaker teams. I think this game will be closer than people predict, look for this game to go down to the wire. If that is the case Nelson Co. has the advantage with there kicking game, the field goal kicker is amazing for such a young man. Look for John to open up the game by trying to stretch the field by throwing deep, sitting up the running game. If they are able to pass successfully look for a run away game. John has so many kids that can take it to the house on any given play.

This game just really depends on NC's offensive line. If they play like they have the last several weeks, JH just won't get the ball that often. Boone is as good a ball-control fullback as you're going to find, and enough alternative weapons have developed for NC to take the pressure off of him.

If John has had one strong point this year it would be the play of the Defensive line. Gatewood and Mitchell are creating havoc for O lines to block, and the pass coverage is starting to take form. If Nelson County O line has an off night will be a long game for the QB.

Hearsay going to be at the game tonight like to meet you.
