5A: Highlands/Johnson Central predictions

[Whackem'n'Stackem']

Highlands matches up better with J.C. IMO. No 400 yd games in this one. Birds win on the road.

No poll?

 

 

I'll take JC silencing the NKY non believers for the second week in a row at home.

[hrcarrier]

Should be an interesting game, do not know who to pick on this one. Should definitely be one of the best games going on next week along with Ryle and Simon Kenton. The way things have looked, I can't make a solid pick for either game.

Can a mod add a poll??

Done.

Hopefully Towles can be effective w/ his injury. You know that he'll go.

 

For those who don't know, what kind of runner is Jude? Is he a speed guy, a power guy?

I agree on matching up better.

I'm going to go ahead and nickname this one "Highlands/Ryle III".

[NEERFAN]

Ryle was able to control the line of scrimmage and I have a slight feeling JC may be able to do the same. Where is this one being played?

I'll answer yes, he is. You know.

At JC.

[jvdfc]

Both teams better work and worry more about Defense this week in practice.

[TRENCHMASTER]

I think HH is too much for JC 42-20.

[WhoozYoDaddy]

What time will the Birds buses take off next week? That is darn long trip.

Highlands has had JC's number the last couple of years, but even Highlands fans have to admit that they haven't exactly been able to shut JC down. Highlands has over the last couple years just wore JC down over 4 Qtrs. This year however the injury bug may even that out just a little bit. Highlands has also been a much better passing team then JC. This year however I don't know how healthy the HHS passing game will be?

 

So It basically boils down to two questions. Is Highlands healthy enough to utilize their advantage in the passing game, and can they limit JJ Jude to a reasonable amount of yards?

 

I have been picking eastern Ky teams over highlands since 99 and as Dr Phil would say "How's that working out for ya?" I'm 0 for ?? in that time frame!

 

This year I'll once again take what even I consider to be an upset and say JC 28 - Highlands 21. What? It could happen???
