Since we are comparing scores:

 

Male 42 PRP 35

JH 42 PRP 14

For the simple fact that Male dominated John Hardin last year, in which Male had a young team, they could perceive John as a push-over, since Male returned most of their starters. If I am not mistaken, Male started the playoffs last year in the same fashion they started vs North Hardin this year. ON FIRE :flame: very, very :fire: Rolling up over 600yds of offense!

 

Male will have a tough time because one: Any coach who was beaten badly the previous year always works extra hard to make sure that doesn't happen again vs the same team. Human Nature! John's coaches are working their tales off right now! two: Jefferson county schools just don't play as well away from Jefferson county. I don't know why, but it seems that way. three: John Hardin has absolutely NOTHING to lose so they may play very lose with great crowd support. Male will be uptight!

They have one set of bleachers and I expect a crowd! It is a super nice stadium, but they have no bleachers on the visiting side. Good Luck

John Hardin beat a very good PRP team, MALE better come out of the gate ready to play. I like Coach Redman and his bulldogs in this one.

John Hardin also lost to a very average North Hardin team. This one will get ugly for John Hardin as Male rolls 49-12

The Massey ratings prediction for this game calls for a 35-28 Male win. Male has a 70% probability of winning, according to the prediction.

You can take those percentages, massey ratings,zip them up in a bag and toss them in the lake.. because they mean absoluetly nothing at this point. Comparing scores too, throw that out. This will be a good game for a while, i believe, then Male will pull away. I was at the Male/Manual game, and the way Male kept their composure and pulled off the win was a true sign of a great team. Im pulling for the Bulldogs in Red and Black, but Im thinking that those boys from Male will win, further more, will be the state champs in 4A.

So in other words you agree with Massey. Interesting that John Hardin has not played 1 team in 11 games that has won more than 6 games.

I know it might have looked like that, bu no. For the most part I dont agree with the Massey ratings, I mean, they are fun to look at and stuff and try to get a grasp of how the game could possibly go, thats about it.

They proved themselves against PRP. They're a contender.

there is no doubt that JH is a contender

Males playoff experience and speed will give them the win.

 

Male- 35

Hardin- 21

I agree that they are fun to look at and consider. That's why I posted the prediction--we'll see how close it is. In the past, Massey has been shown to be pretty accurate by this time in the season. One year we figured out how often the different ratings correctly predicted the playoffs and Massey was best at 85% correct.

Its playoff time you can throw out what the teams have done, it is what they do on Friday Night, quess what anything can happen and usally does. If you are a football fan don't miss this game, will be a good one. Go Bulldogs that is John Hardin Bulldogs!!!

Crystal ball says "Shock and Awe", Male- 35 JH-13. Bobby calls Mike and asks if St. X can come out and play??????
