This one goes down to the wire, just a matter of who wants it more. I think the Colonels have finally figured out they want to play. The edge goes to Whitley.

GO ROCK!!!

Whitley wins this one.

Rock couldn't tackle Watts with no blocking. Either he is just awesome or they will never tackle a talented backfield with a good O line. Rock has struggled to tackle shifty backs all year. Rock defense is traditionally one of the best in the area, just not so this year. I am only calling it like I see it. Kids don't fly to the ball and defense is a couple steps slow to react. It is also difficult to ask a 15 year old sophomore like Rowe to pack the ball 25 times and stay mentally alert the whole game in a new position like cornerback. In my opinion he has done amazingly well ( 1600 PLUS yards) for a kid who turned 15 in September. He will improve along with the other sophs and in a year or 2 who knows!!!

I would be willing to bet Whitley wont run wild. We may not be able to stop the pass very good, but we can shut out the run. Last I checked Whitley don throw so we will shut out the run.

Rock 27

Is it 21-6 or 27-14:confused:

Rock was even with Southwestern, PC without Muse, and Knox Central. In my opinion Whitley is playing at a level 2-3 touchdowns above these teams. I just can't see how the Rock is going to hold the score down enough to have a chance to win. I hope Jericho is right but I've been to every game this year and I just don't see it happening. Whitley will score most of the time they get into our secondary with the running game and that will be a least 4-5 times. With 10 kids playing both ways our offense will be too fatigued to keep up the scoring pace and our defense will start breaking instead of just bending.I hope I am wrong but I think we need a couple of turnovers to have a shot to win.

Go Rock.

Hey papgrit I threw a vote your way this time, tit for tat! I have a good friend or two who coaches at Whitley Co and they are a very good football team. You guys just need to play physical from the start and try to put yourself in a position to win at the end. Good Luck!

 

Thanks for the support bud....we need it! Hopefully these boys will catch a little defensive fire against their strong running game. Good luck to you all against Lynn Camp and look for old Daddy Cat while your there.:thumb:

Looks like rain again, what does this do to help or hurt both teams?

Good luck the rest of the way HoP. I have to go with the Rockets in this one. The Rockets are better than 4 & 5.

With no rain in sight ,going with the Colonels 36-19 . This should be a good tune up for soon to be Region Champs .

Go Rockcastle County! Stop the dual FB's and you'll have a great shot. You'll get your rushing yards with Rowe against WC's defense, just shut down the fullbacks, WC cannot win throwing the ball all night, they may throw 5 times max.
