Final

I was waiting all night from a call from the radio crew of one of the teams to get updates....not sure what happened.

 

Good job on the win Devils!

Congrats to Owensboro on the win. Saw them play Boone County this year and was incredibly impressed with them. Does anyone else think they can win 5A beside me? I know many feel Highlands will walk through, but I believe Owensboro can definately give them a game.

I don't. This team has very little offense. Beside a nice opening drive, the offense was basically non existant all night. They scored all 14 of their points within the first five minutes of the game. It was 14-6 at the end of the first quarter and was U-G-L-Y the rest of the night. Owensboro lost the ball 3 times on fumbles. The defense keep them in the game, with six interceptions, a fumble recovery and a recovery of a muffed punt. I just don't see them slowing down a team like Bowling Green or Highlands enought to make up for the lack of offense.

I would tend to agree with this assessment as well. That being said I'll personally garauntee that niether BG or HHS will hang the kind of numbers they've put up the first few rounds on the 'Boro.

 

Sr. will need to have a markedly improved offensive gameplan in the coming weeks. I think that any game that Sr. is able to put up 28 points, that they should be able to win that game.

It will be a game, count on that. I see a game very similar to the last time that these two teams met in the finals, maybe even a bit closer?

Well you saw what John Hardin did to BG tonight. Closest game the purples have had all year besides the lose to Trinity and Owensboro's D is probably better than JH. The offense does need to step it up but if the Defense can give you a score or 2 like they have so many times this year the Devils will be in the game. I look forward to playing the best 2 teams in 5A if we can get past Bowling Green. I think the D has had a chip on its shouder all year and really play like it. So all the people that have said all along the finals will be BG and Highlands just might see that not happen. This game had the potential for blowout in the beginning OHS went up 14-0 and had the ball on the Oldham 20 when the first fumble occured and Oldham took advantage and made it the final score 14-6 had Oldham Co. just kicked FGs a few times they may have had a chance in this one going for it on 4th down several times when in FG range and the Owensboro D stuffed them on 4th and short. The Oldham kid only attempted one XP and missed it could not tell if it was partcially blocked or if it was a just a bad kick from where I was but I was told someone got a finger on it. Oldham did a good job after the first few series and played a heck of a game but like I said could have possibly won if they just kicked FGs. These Owensboro kids are pumped and ready to take on all challengers. Regardless of the outcome in the next week or 2 I think these kids should be proud of where they are and how well they have played all year up to this point.:devil:
