I can't wait for this weekend! It should be a good two nights of football. I must say that I am dissapointed in BG and WE being in. Not because they aren't good schools, but because this should be a KY-IN deal.

 

Warren East vs Apollo- I must admit that I greatly short changed the Eagles last week when I predicted that Muhlenburg would pull the upset. I am surprised that WEast lost to Glasgow last week. The Scotties have struggled in recent years and I didn't see that coming. When I look at Apollo's roster I do see some real talent. Obviously the main one being Harris Biven, but Hunter Cannon, DJ McHenry, and Elijah Dillard are no slouches themselves. The Eagles still seem like a mystery team to me, but I'm going home team this week.

Bowling Green vs Owensboro Catholic- The Purples are for real. There, I said it. BG shutout Christian County last week and while I don't think they'll shut out the Aces, this game will be over early. OCath's offense looks to be potent this season, but the Aces' defense has ALOT of work to do. OCath's goal is to build twords the 2A playoffs and this game will go along way to help the Aces prepare for Ft. Campbell.

Evansville Memorial vs Owensboro- This is the marquee matchup of the Border Bowl. Memorial is coming off a run to the Indiana 3A finals and loss to start the season to a VERY good Jasper team. OHS looks to take care of some unfinished buisness as the Red Devils want to get that state trophy back in the Boro. Grant Gibbons leads a very potent passing attack for the Tigers who will spread OHS out and try to pick the Devils "D" apart. OHS meanwhile will counter with speed, speed, and oh yeah more speed. This is the fastest OHS team I have ever watched. QB Kal Prince looks good behind his solid offensive line. And with many weapons(Quado Douglas,Dradell Johnson,Marcus Winstead,Ryan Bowling) look for OHS to put up some points this year. This game is speed vs sound passing. Speed wins

Evansville Reitz vs Daviess County- Yes this is a mismatch. DC lost every single productive member of their offense from last season. Now that Chad McCain is out that will limit DC early in the season. But DC has a couple of solid options to replace McCain. The sophomore QB really looked comfortable in the second half of the scrimmage last week vs Meade Co. DC has a solid defense returning led by Dan Wathen and Luke Wilkerson on the D line. Reitz returns several guys from last years team that lost to Jasper in the playoffs. QB Matt McIntosh, RB Alordo Bell, and Cuda Dimmett lead the Panther offense. Reitz has a stout D, holding Henderson County to minimal yards and zero points. Tough opener for DC, but they will learn from it.

Thats my two cents and hopefully everyone else can chime in with some predictions!!!!

Come on!! Somebody else has to have some predictions for this great weekend of football!!! Lets go guys and gals(Mrs. Purplehaze)!!!

I will be very surprised if OCath puts up anything on BG. I will be down right blown away if DC sniffs the end zone against Reitz. Their D is as good as DC will see. I think OHS will handle Memorial fairly easily. Apollo should roll also come away with the win.

 

I to am little disappointed they got away from all Eville opponents.
