Final. Pulaski scored the first 20 points. Wayne then scored the next 21. The rest of the game was a dog fight. Wayne held Pulaski on the first posession of OT. DJ Hall ran in the touchdown for Wayne for the win. Great game.

Big win for the Wayne co. Cardinals!

This surprises me.

This surprises me.

 

I did not see this coming either. Especially not after Somerset handled Wayne with ease a few weeks back. Just goes to show you comparing scores doesn't work. Taylor Co beat Somerset who drilled Wayne who beat Taylor Co and Pulaski Co who beat Southwestern who drilled Somerset. This all gives me a headache....pass the Tylenol.

With all due respect, against Pulaski the kicking team for Southwestern that gave up two touchdowns and allowed another return to the two had five freshmen on it that are no longer on the kickoff team.

With all due respect to SW, why do they have those freshmen on the field on kickoff? Why didn't they make the adjustment after the 1st one? How many other TD returns have they given up this year? Why did SW kick it deep 3 TIMES? My point is, SW wasn't going to stop PC that night, no matter where the Maroons started with the football. PC punted 1 time all night long. Neither team could stop the other. PC did come up with the one stop that mattered at the end of the game.

Now, on to Friday night's game... Wayne County played an outstanding game against PC. DJ Hall was "The Man" on offense & defense for the Cardinals. Both teams made costly mistakes in the game, with ill-timed penalties & just some general poor play.

Give Wayne all the credit in the world. They earned the win.

Now PC has to regroup for Lincoln Friday night. Hopefully they will have some key players back who did not play last night. PC was missing 4 running backs for last nights game & one of their starting linemen. The way it looks right now though, regardless of the outcome w/ Lincoln, PC will host a 1st round playoff game.

Wayne County must be playing some fine football right now as Pulaski was starting to really gel in the past few weeks.

Having a high powered offense is fun but giving up 35.3 points per game will cost you an awful lot of games.

Pulaski can score with anyone and if they can ever get their defense to play hard on every down they could make some noise in the playoffs. If they don't then it could be an early exit.
