Well, Howdy neighbors, 'Ol Leonard here with another important football prognostication. My little smart pill machine has been working overtime for to figure this one out. Coach P. brings his Bears into the hostile environment of "The Hill", Friday night in New Castle. While his Bears have only a couple of wins this season they are still a formidable foe for the Wildcats of Henry County. This game has big time playoff implications written all over it. If North handles Western Hills tonight and Henry stops Spencer, then there is a three way tie for second place in the district race. And it is believed that Henry will get the nod after counting the tiebreaker games. This means a first round home playoff game. But it means the same for the other two teams as well. The playbooks will be opened tonight at both sites.

The weather man is certainly not showing he is a football fan today. Heavy rain today that should taper off late afternoon. Nevertheless, the field will not be in very good shape and the wet conditions could affect Henry's air attack. But if the Cats run the ball as well as they did last week (almost 400 yards on the ground) the conditions will not be a factor. Spencer has a more ground oriented attack and with two good backs that will give their best effort tonight. Look for a short game with both teams using their grounds games to eat up yardage and clock. Special teams play could decide this one. Leonard's loser in a low scoring, sloppy, gridiron toe to toe battle.....Spencer County. Get me outta' here Percy, I need to find my rainsuit for this one.

A low scoring game that could go either way!

 

I believe this game will be anything but low scoring, however the wet field conditions could keep the score down some.
