Breathitt Co. 42-8.

I could see this game being closer than alot of people expect. Just looking at the schedules Garrard has played more quality opponents than Breathitt.

Really?

 

I would list quality opponents for Garrard as: Bell County (6-50), Somerset (27-44), Taylor County (56-65), Wayne County (12-33) and Frankfort (7-55).

 

Bell County is a 4A title contender and Frankfort likely is in 1A. Somerset, Taylor County and Wayne County are all capable of winning a playoff game or two.

 

For Breathitt: Johnson Central (14-26), Prestonsburg (20-27), Estill County (7-6) and Lexington Christian (40-26).

 

Johnson Central should make a run in 5A, Prestonsburg could make a run to Louisville in 2A, Estill County is highly underrated in 3A and Lexington Christian might win the 1A title.

 

If anything, the opponents for both are even. And the huge edge then goes to Breathitt County because they've beat good teams. Garrard's wins have come over Bethlehem (3-7, 1A), Jackson County (2-8, 3A), Casey County (2-8, 2A) and Pendleton County (0-10, 4A).

 

Do I want Garrard to win? Of course. But am I realistic in thinking it will take a monumental effort to keep the game close? I think I am.

This one gets ugly and ugly fast.

Garrard has not come close to beating solid competition. They will be well out of their league. Breathitt Co. big time in this one.

Fugate is way to much for Garrard. This one wont be close.

This game may not be close and probably won't be, but the kids from Garrard will play hard no matter what the score is.

Agreed. I've been very impressed with the effort of the Garrard kids all season. Even when a couple games have been out of hand, they've played like it was the important game of their lives. So much credit goes to the coaches for that!:thumb:

I've said it before....you all have a quality coach in Mark Scenters. Stick with him and you'll see some wins to go along with those improving attitudes of the players. The eighth grade team he will be inheriting next year is big and tough. I've seen them play and if you will give the coach a bit of time, (2 or 3 years) and plenty of support you will start seeing the wins. Good luck at Breathitt County. :thumb:

I agree with you.. Time to shine in 09!!!:thumb:

Playing quality opponents and being competitive against quality opponents are two different things, I think Garrard's program is improving, but not to the point yet to compete with a monster program like Breathitt County. Would love to see an upset though to get Breathitt out of the path of my Engineers!

How do you see the Engineers program Compared to Garrard . I would have to give the edge to Garrard. Garrard is one year away from being the real deal... They have 15 or 16 Jr's this year. Its TIME TO SHINE IN 09..:thumb:

Breathitt Co. 28-10.
