Whitley Co. will win! 5A against 4A enough said!!!!

Although 5A should beat 4A, it does not always happen that way, especially when Dudly Hilton is involved.

 

But the athletes will settle this one on the field. Both teams have nice speed and big kids, it really could come down to special teams. Monte Merrick is one of the best kickers in the state, last year he kept the Colonels backed up all night long. If Whitley can get moving offensively and take Merrick out of the game, they may have a chance. Don't sell the Colonels short this will be a good game regardless of the outcome.

HaHa. :laugh:

Bell 42 Whitley 14

I just think the colonels will win! 5A in my mind is the second best divison right behind 6A! I could be wrong, but I would take a 5A 7 out of 10 times against a 4A!

Its depends on which 4A team And which 5A team your talking about.

Good Point and here we are talking about a VERY good 4A team and an improving 5A team.

 

I think Bell wins but I just don't see the blow out like some people do.

Bell wins, but the game might be closer than some think. Thomas Magnum may very well be on to something.

Bell Co 30

Whitley Co 7

:laugh: Is this why a 4A Bell Co. team beat a 6A team last year?:sssh:

Onto the prediction, I'll take Bell in a close one, 24-20, Looking for Merrick to hopefully get the record out of the way, at home.

Whiltey scored 14 on Bell last year with a less than steller offense AND having to go 80 yards every time due to the leg of Merrick. Bell scored 38 last year with a less than steller defense playing for Whitley, the Colonels defense is improved this year, along with the offense. Remember it was 10-7 at the half last year.

 

Whitley has improved both offensively and defensively, but will it be enough?

 

The thing about both teams is that they will be well prepared, and in shape. They both played teams in the preseason that prepared them for the season. Special teams....Field Goals, punting and kicking, that very well could decide this game and if it comes down to that, Bell has the clear advantage.

 

The Best thing about the whole deal (from a fan standpoint) is that it takes you back to the mid 90s to early 2000s when this was one of the top games in the mountains.

 

Good luck to the Colonels and the Bobcats, play clean, play hard and let the best team win, no excuses, no whining.

 

On a side note it would be nice to see Corbin, playing both of these teams. HEY maybe that could be a future bowl....Corbin, Middlesboro, Whitley, and Bell, and rotate the games every year, where they would all play over a 4 year period. I know Bell & Whitley would be for it

I think one of the others would be down also, just a matter of getting the other to agree, I'm sure we know which one this is:sssh:

Bell County by 3 TD's!

Bell rolls in this one.

Bell rolls in this one.

 

I would love to see us come in and just fire on all cylinders and give our starters an easy night, but this Whitley County team is nothing to be overlooked, they have gave us a game on more than one occasion, they are a very tough team, and I just don't look for us to just come in and torch them. Personally, I think it'll be a dog fight for this W, and I'm hoping that it is a good game to hopefully push both teams to the limits, for some experience in these fights until the last whistle for November;)
