Cardinals snap a four-game losing streak and get a key road district win as well, knocking the Bruins from the ranks of the unbeatens. No details as of yet.

Huge, huge win. Should be considered an upset.

No I wouldn't say an upset.

I don't see how. Central was 6-0 coming in, averaging about 40 points a game, and playing at home. Nelson came in reeling with a four-game losing streak. Sure meets all the qualifications.

The No. 5 team in 6A gets beat at home, but it's not an upset?

If u look closely most of nelson counties playmakers have been injured for the past few weeks. Tonight was there first night being back on the field. Nelson is a much better team then what their record shows. Also Central hasn't played a tough schedule. Of course im not taking anything away from the bruins. There a great team. Wish both teams luck.

Quentin Brooks' return came at just the right time for NC. He rushed for 161 yards and a three TDs.

 

Daniel Osborne picked off two of the three Beger INTs, and Derek Brunhammer got the other one, as well as recovering a CH fumble on a kickoff return.

 

Brooks got his first TD (51 yards) with 2:50 to go in the first quarter, then added his second one (43 yards) just 23 seconds later after the ill-fated CH kickoff return. Cards were able to play with the lead the rest of the way.

Nelson Co. only attempted four passes all game after putting it up 39 times last week against Greenwood. Pretty good indication of the impact Brooks has on this team's offensive success.

Im definitely not counting nelson out the race just yet.

Central didn't even look like the same team as they have any of their other games this year. The offense could not get anything going other than the first drive of the game. Not taking anything away from Nelson defense but Central's biggest problem was themselves. Countless dropped passes and 4 turnovers are killer. If the rain played that big of a factor they better start practicing with the sprinklers on. Nelson's offense definitely got a boost from their returning players. Congrats to the Cardinals and good luck.

You can't take anything away from Nelson County's defense because they were getting pressure on the QB and caused some bad passes. They also did a good job of stopping the run.

Exactly. I wasn't trying to take anything away from them.:ohbrother:

When Nelson runs the ball effectively, they are hard to beat. Central Hardin can still win the district, but they need to find a way to run the ball especially if it rains anymore this season on Friday nights.
