Well, I really thought Owensboro might get them in the playoffs, so I wasn't all that brilliant. :lol:

 

Actually the Hoptown / Christian playoff game was closer and a more competitive game.

I need a self-pat on the back ... :lol:

 

Nah, we are just going to change your user name to the Prophet!

 

Once again, you have proven yourself all knowing about W. Ky 5A football. Do you have a prediction on the 5A game since you've had the opportunity to see Highlands and Christian County? How do you think the game will unfold? What do you think about the O vs D matchups? If you'd rather keep your thoughts to yourself, I understand (but PM them to me anyway:D).

I think it will be the usual suspects in the west BG, JH, Owensboro and Christian Co. until someone beats these guys. Christian Co. if true that they did not lose much may be the team to beat early. They have to come to the dungeon to play Owensboro this year in the district game and that is never an easy task.

 

Did not get a chance to see JH last year but have in the past and they are usually pretty good year end and year out. I look for it to be the 4 team mentioned as Hoptown still has some work to do to be in the conversation.

 

I look for Owensboro to be better than people think they will be although they lost 23 seniors that played a very big part in getting the devils back to the front of 5A the boys coming up are no slouches and the JV and Freshman teams at Owensboro have not given many points in the last few years. I look for them to be very explosive and fast like the Owensboro of old but may be a year away from being a true contender.

 

I am going to call it Christian Co and BG for now and when the season starts it may change. One thing I do know is the kicking game in the west of 5A will be fun to watch this year with Max Oldham from BG going after some state records in his senior year and the sophmore kid Trey Cain from Owensboro to see if he can back up what he did last year as a freshman. These 2 are probably the best kickers in the state next to the Merrick kid from Bell Co. who is one step above these 2 right now.

 

 

Westsider with some interest in OHS I called CC way back in May as the favorite and I also said that OHS would not be as bad as people thought they would be. I pretty much called Region 1 with the exception of OHS knocking off BG. So can I have a pat on the back as well?:thumb:

 

I hate to do this to the Colonels but I do not see them beating a very good Highlands team. I think they may be able to keep it close for a while but I look for Highlands to pull this off by a couple of TDs.

 

But I would not be surprised if CC pulled off a shocker they do have some pretty good talent and a lot of heart and it is 1 game not a series so anything can happen.

Hoptown is 1-5 against Christian and Owensboro the past 2 years. Does it matter that they played a more competitive game?

And Owensboro won at Hopkinsville this season ...

Actually, I think Highlands will win by a couple of touchdowns ... somewhere in the neighborhood of 28-14.

Thanks for your prediction. I hope you are right. I know that CC has a very talented team and the Birds best be taking them very seriously.....or else. And I think they will, but we are talking 17 and 18 year olds here, so you never know what they will do.
