Maybe that hypothetical BGreen/Ft Campbell game wouldn't be as close as I would have originally thought...Great win by WC...Congrats

 

You are exactly right! FC smacked Warren Central and Antonio Andrews would run wild on Bowling Green!

Bowling Green will still finish with the #1 seed. The only way they don't is if they lose to Barren County, which, if that happened, I think I would just stop watching because I'd have seen it all.

 

They've got 24 points in a tiebreaker, and that's the maximum Warren Central can get. Grayson County can go no higher than 20. Bowling Green would win over Central once they expanded past four teams to further break the tie, and they will get at least one more point from their current teams anyway. Far more intriguing is the race for #2 now as both Grayson and Central are tied at 17 points right now. Warren Central can clinch #2 with a win over Greenwood, which would give them 21 points, and Grayson cannot match or beat that.

 

A home playoff game looked like a certainty for Grayson, and suddenly that is not the case.

 

BTW, I'm on cloud nine. I never expected this, especially given that Central started a freshman at QB as Halcomb was banged up. The Dragon defense outperformed their counterpart, holding the Purple offense to -3 yards and no first downs in the second half. Central's offense wasn't too shabby either, with an 8:30 drive on their first possession of the second half, culminating in a 1 yard TD by Bush.

Congratulations to the Dragons. They were clearly the better team tonight. As for you Ft Campbell posters, BGHS has a TOUGH time getting a schedule together year in and year out. Some teams flat refuse to play us. Many of our former district rivals don't schedule BGHS anymore once they find out that they don't have to. As for a scheduled game with Ft Campbell, I would not be adverse to that at all. I would get to see some of my brothers in arms, and that would be great. After all, I am a veteran from the USAF, and my legs are gone! Go ahead and ask your soldiers how many times they got help from an A-10...that's the aircraft I used to load tank killing weapons on.

 

From what info I gathered, here are the tie breaker points:

BGHS: 23 points currently (6 each for Christian Co and Big Blue, 7 for

Owensboro, and 4 for Doss).

Grayson Co: 16 points currently (5 each for Hancock Co and Edmonson Co, 3 each for Breckinridge Co and Butler Co).

Warren Central: 15 points currently (5 each for Russellville and Apollo, 3 for Nelson Co, and 2 for Barren Co).

 

Next week, BGHS plays at Barren Co and must win to force a three-way tie breaker. Other games that figure into their fate: Boyle Co at Christian Co; Henderson Co at Owensboro; Glasgow at Franklin-Simpson; and Doss at Fairdale. I think that we can only count on Big Blue to help us there.

 

Next week, Greenwood plays at Warren Central. This is a must have game for Central, as Greenwood has 7 wins and would vault the Dragons into the #2 seed. Other games that figure into their fate: Logan Co at Russellville; Nelson Co at Bullitt East; BGHS at Barren Co; and Madisonville at Apollo. A win would knock Barren Co out of the equation with 2 or 3 wins and replace it with Greenwood's 7 points.

 

Next week, Grayson Co has their open date. Other games that figure into their fate: Edmonson Co at Hancock Co (a victory by either of them increases the Cougars' point total by 1); Muhlenberg Co at Breckinridge Co (same situation here); Butler Co at LaRue Co (the Bears would have to win against a superior opponent); and Clinton Co at Wayne Co (same here for Clinton Co). They must sit on their hands while other teams determine who they'll play and where.

 

How many head coaches out there say that non-district games aren't important? From where I sit, they're all important!!

 

As for the guys, I couldn't be more proud of them. How they deal with this unfortunate loss is up to them. I should hope that they'll use it as a learning experience, and a real eye opener that their next loss will have them done for the season. As for Coach Wallace, it took real guts and a supreme belief in the abilities in his players to have scheduled St Xavier and Trinity for what next season will be six years in a row. He had to, because other teams didn't want to play us. In three consecutive championship games, BGHS arguably played the best teams ever at LexCath and CovCath, and the latest in a progression of great teams at Highlands. And in 2007, they had by far the toughest road to the championship game with John Hardin, Owensboro, and then Highlands.

 

Wow. I had to read this twice to be sure I read it right. Congrats to the Dragons.:dancingpa

Through no fault of their own, either. Grayson is the big loser in tonight's game. Congratulations to Warren Central!

The current state of the tiebreaker:

 

Bowling Green - 24 Points (Franklin & Owensboro have 7 wins, Christian County 6, Doss 4). The maximum they can have is 28.

Grayson County - 17 Points (Hancock 6, Edmonson 5, Breckinridge and Butler County 3). The maximum they can have is 20, the minimum will be 18 since Hancock and Edmonson play each other.

Warren Central - 17 Points (Apollo & Russellville 5, Nelson County 4, Barren County 3). The maximum they can have is 24, with the Greenwood game factoring in. Without it, the maximum they can have is 20 points, from Apollo, Russellville, and Nelson County wins, since this scenario is only important if Bowling Green beats Barren County. If Warren Central beats Greenwood, they will have 21 points and thus cannot lose the #2 seed.

Thanx for checking my work, 'Fire! Some I was right on, a few others, I was a tad bit off and my numbers skewed. But we agreed on the two major points: Central must beat Greenwood and BGHS must beat Barren Co. Another thing we agree on that hasn't been said by either of us...Grayson Co's weak schedule might finally come into play here! Again, many thanx!

No doubt that schedule could harm Grayson, though there is something to be said for them as well playing and beating up on some lower class teams to rack up wins.

 

This game now will make me always wonder about what might have been in better conditions against Grayson County. It might not have been different at all. Maybe it was just matchups and such, or just this given Friday and all that. But I look at Central versus a better team in Bowling Green, and I wonder.

Congrats to the Dragons for a huge win!

This was a big win for Warren Central congrats.

This has to be the sweetest win in a long time for WC!! I can't remember an upset in this series that is bigger than this one. Now, I just hope that we can get a rematch here in a month for the region title. And, I guess we don't have to worry at all about back to back losing seasons. Great job Dragons!!!!!!!!

Now, I just hope that we can get a rematch here in a month for the region title.

I would imagine the Purples would welcome a rematch with open arms, but I seriously doubt we'll see that. All the credit goes to WC, but that was a strange BG team I watched play Friday night. If they play like that it will be a first round playoff exit to Hopkinsville.:irked:

I would just as soon not see Bowling Green again. They're a better team than Central, but WC outplayed them pretty markedly on Friday. If they do play again, that's fine (especially given that would mean WC had won 2 playoff games), but Central just needs to focus on what's in front of them. They really need this Greenwood game, that way they can open at home against Madisonville. Then take the rest one step at a time.

Your exactly right on WC needing to focus on Greenwood. I would just like to see a rematch because it would mean it is for the region title. I would be more than okay with that!!:ylsuper:
